About Rachael

Rachael Elizabeth Shaw fell in love with teaching during her early high school years where she was in charge of helping the boys of her show choir learn the choreography. It was then that she realized how much she loved to teach. She received great joy from watching each one of them realize that they could dance. Since then she strives to help every one of her students realize that if they want to learn something, they can find a way to succeed. She loves helping guide children & opening their eyes to the wonders of music. From the youngest infant to the oldest youth, she is happy to help anyone willing to learn.

Rachael Shaw has a M.A. in Speech/Theatre and a B.A. in music. She graduated from Louisiana Tech University in 2004 and has been working in music ever since.  Over the course of lessons and shows, Rachael has thirteen years of dance training as well. Currently, Rachael is a music teacher at the Carolyn Barron Montessori School. She created and has led the music program there for the past three years and has grown a special bond and friendship with the students there. She also teaches private voice & piano lessons every week to eager students. During the summer, she directs music & drama camps where she teaches students of all ages how to dance, sing, act, write scripts, and learn lines. With her free time she sings on the vocal team at her church, and she performs in musicals at community theaters.

If it isn't obvious, Rachael is addicted to music.  She is living the life she loves, and enjoying every moment combining young minds with music. Rachael is very excited to be taking this new step with Tiny Tunes Music Time.  She is looking forward to not only teaching, but growing and learn with the students and parents during their classes. She also hopes to share the experience of joy and fun that music has brought to her life.
