In her first year at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Rachel was entered for the prestigious Kathleen Ferrier Junior Bursary award and was the first young singer from the college to win the competition. In 2009 she also won the title of Music in the Vale's Young Singer of the Year competition. Recently she was also a finalist in The Thelma King Award for Singers at the Mid Somerset Festival.

My eldest daughter is 12 and started singing lessons with Rachel at the age of 9. She has developed, immensely in her confidence and in her ability and has already decided that singing will be her future. And so much of this is down to not simply Rachel's amazing talent and experience of singing herself, but down to her warm and encouraging nature, her patience and her desire to get the best out of each individual.
