Rachel Ha, Edgewood Music Teacher | Teaches Private Music Lessons in 21040

About Me

I am a seasoned musician with a passion for teaching. I have been performing vocally since age 4 and on guitar since age 12. I have given lessons privately to adults and youth for 20 years on and off. I believe that my method of choosing among the student's favorite songs as a basis for instruction makes it more fun and engaging. Though well versed in music theory, I am open to teaching without getting into the "mathematics" of music if students are not interested in learning them.

Rachel Ha has over 20 years of music experience in the Edgewood area.

Rachel Ha is proficient in and teaches Guitar Lessons, Vocal Lessons .

I learned many styles of guitar playing from my father beginning at age 11.

Performing Experience:

Playing electric guitar with my father on stage at various local and regional clubs since age 12. Began performing as a solo acoustic artist at age 17 in local clubs. Joined my first band on electric guitar in 2004, which recorded an album in 2006. Went on to play with many other bands/artists, and started my own band recently with our debut album coming out in late 2023. Recent venues performed: The Birchmere, The Fillmore, Encore Columbia, The 8X10, and the Maryland Center for the Arts,

Experience Teaching:

Started giving lessons at age 13 to various peers. By age fifteen, the music teacher at school gave me an entire class period to teach jazz guitar to fellow students each day (I have not played jazz since high school; that's why I don't list it as something I could teach now!) I have given a few lessons to adults and youth here and there since high school.
