Certified Early Childhood Music Teacher | Creating joyful, heart-centered spaces for babies, toddlers, and their grown-ups
Hi, I’m Rachel—and I’m so glad you’re here! I founded Joyful Harmonies Music Studio because I believe in the life-changing power of music—not just to teach skills, but to build confidence, nurture connection, and spark joy that lasts a lifetime.
As a Kindermusik®-certified educator, I lead our baby, toddler, and preschool music classes in Lynchburg with heart, purpose, and deep respect for each child’s unique journey. My goal is to create a welcoming space where every child feels safe, celebrated, and free to explore at their own pace.
Whether it's a baby discovering their first steady beat, a toddler spinning with joy, or a preschooler singing proudly, I’m right there cheering them on, encouraging growth, and sharing in the magic of music and movement.
When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me making memories with my husband Aleks and our two amazing kids. We love exploring the outdoors, dancing in the living room, and soaking in the little moments that matter most.
I can’t wait to welcome your family into our musical community at Joyful Harmonies!

Community Builder, Parent Liaison & Joy Spreader at Joyful Harmonies
My journey with Joyful Harmonies Music Studio began when my daughter was just six months old and we attended our very first Kindermusik® class in Lynchburg. Watching her blossom through music—alongside a room full of curious, wiggly little friends—sparked something in me.
Community Builder, Parent Liaison & Joy Spreader at Joyful Harmonies
My journey with Joyful Harmonies Music Studio began when my daughter was just six months old and we attended our very first Kindermusik® class in Lynchburg. Watching her blossom through music—alongside a room full of curious, wiggly little friends—sparked something in me. I knew I wanted to be part of creating that same joy and connection for other families.
As Business Manager and Social Media Coordinator, I now get to do exactly that! From organizing special events and creating engaging content, to greeting families and answering questions behind the scenes, my goal is always the same: to help every parent and caregiver feel welcome, seen, and supported as part of our growing musical community.
Whether I’m planning what’s next or sharing real moments from our classes online, I love helping families experience the magic of early childhood music—and find their place here at Joyful Harmonies.
Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me adventuring with my daughter, cozying up in the library, or hunting for treasures in the Target dollar aisle.
I can't wait to meet you and help your family feel right at home with us!
