I received my Bachelors degree in piano performance from Northwestern University and completed graduate studies in piano performance at Indiana University-Bloomington. I received my Certificate as a Taubman Approach Instructor from the Golandsky Institute studying with Master Taubman teacher Robert Durso. I believe in a nurturing and collaborative approach to learning, and prioritize a healthy physical relationship to the instrument as part of a well-rounded musical education. Having overcome playing-related injuries myself, I particularly enjoy helping others to overcome injury, fatigue, and technical limitations at the piano through the Taubman Approach. I believe the Taubman work gives all students the ability to reach their highest artistic potential and benefits students of every age and level. I welcome beginning, intermediate, advanced, and professional-level students. More info at www.rachelbussey.net

I teach at my home at 104 Bridle Trail, Youngsville 27596 and also at 5124-108 Departure Dr, Raleigh 27616. I have a BM in piano from UNC-Greensboro, and a voice minor. I have been teaching for over 26 years. I teach all levels up to college entrance. I have young and older students as well. I teach a classical background, but I also teach students who are not as interested in theory and reading, and wish to study ear training and chord sheets. I teach popular voice as well.
