Rachel McDonald has displayed a natural gift for teaching and motivating students. She works to create well rounded musicians, both in technical ability and love of orchestra. My violists who have studied privately with Mrs. McDonald traditionally excel above others.
— Matthew Moreno, Orchestra Director of Jasper HS
Rachel is that rare breed of teacher who is kind and nurturing to all her students without ever sacrificing high standards. The students I have placed with her make fantastic progress in their form, technique, and musicality. Best of all, her students look forward to working with her all week. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Quiet confidence, top notch playing, and someone who cares deeply about others.
