June 14, 2023Rachel was incredible! She played for our Easter Sunday service at our church and met our every ask. She was very communicative, very professional, open to ideas when planning music, and had a lot of artistic ideas to put forward to match the mood and environment of the service. Many members of our church asked about her afterwards. A talented and lovely human-being. I will hands down always reach out to her for any fluting needs. The best part is, she teaches too! Now I'll know who to contact if anyone asks me for any music needs.
