Artist-Faculty
Rachel Aalund Griggs
Voice
I am so thrilled that you decided to take a moment to get to know me a little more! I am Rachel and I love to sing AND, almost more so, to teach others how to sing.
In lessons I will guide you:
- through curious exploration
- to find your authentic voice
- by building habits for sustainability
Read this blog post about why I became a voice teacher.
I grew up in North Dakota and moved to Nebraska for college (Midland University). I finished my bachelor degree and decided to stay in Omaha due to the amazing people and relationships I had formed. I worked in non-profit administration and loved connecting and singing with this community. I started working at Omaha Conservatory of Music in 2009 building their voice department. I completed my Masters degree in Vocal Pedagogy (the art of teaching) in the summer of 2022. I am honored to serve my students and families and all of the people I get to collaborate with every day! I have a large studio and love teaching all ages. I have extensive experience engaging students and music classes, as well as adult and children’s choirs as a singer, coach, conductor, vocal coach, and private lesson teacher.
I have a lovely garden that I tend with my three kiddos and a wonderful husband who is encouraging me to get my voice out there. Between my family, work and hobbies I love living my life on purpose and singing every chance I get!
