In addition to her work at Hope, she also serves on the children’s music staff at Laurel United Methodist Church.

Visit Rachel's website at listenlearnmusic.com and prepare to be amazed and inspired.
Note: Rachel was an intern with Midwest Music Therapy Services when she spent a few days a week observing with and working with Lisa Casciola, MT-BC. Lisa and Rachel formed a friendship but it was not until Rachel returned home to Springfield and started her blog that Lisa started to learn so much from her old intern. Over the years Lisa has enjoyed watching Rachel develop as a person, music therapist, musician, and performer. Lisa has learned infinite skills from Rachel in the world of technology, blogging, recording, songwriting, etc. Lisa can always ask Rachel about her latest advances in technology and Rachel always shares her tips and tricks. Thank you Rachel for being our first Guest Blogger!
