Music Lessons with Rebecca Lord

I've had the utmost pleasure of working with this woman in conducting instruction and in her choirs. She is filled to the brim with musical knowledge and is so eager to share her knowledge with her students. Her work ethic is unparalleled, and I believe she excels in inspiring her students to work as hard as she does. She is bursting with energy and is guaranteed to make every lesson you have with her an absolute joy. I am so honored to have worked with her and she helped me become who I am as a musician today.

Becky taught me voice lessons when I was in college. Her knowledge of the voice and the body and mind in general is incredibly vast. And even though she has her doctorate degree, she still takes every opportunity to learn and stay up to date on new and improved techniques. She always knew how to teach me control of my voice and how get the very best sound and volume even on my very worst days. She has such a personal way of teaching for all different personalities and voices and I ended up taking private lessons from her when I finished my time in college and she was incredible at teaching my 10 year old daughter as well. She has no limitations.

I first began studying with Dr. Lord when I was 16 years old and was just starting to classically train. I had barely tipped my toes into the idea of classical singing and was welcomed into this world by this wonderful woman. Each lesson she approached me with kindness and patience, even when I was still trying to grasp the basics. Now, I am thoroughly enjoying singing Mahler, Rossini, Larsen, and Rachmaninov. I first began my studies by driving out an hour and a half each week from Palm Springs to Los Angeles, and then eventually to Northridge because I was so inspired and felt so comfortable and safe with Rebecca. In each lesson, she catered to what I needed that week while preserving my overall goals. She exposed me to a ton of new singers. In fact, she ended up connecting me with my current voice teacher now at my university. I would not be where I am today without the love, support, and the fantastic teaching this woman has to offer. She was there for every performance she could be, helped me with audition tapes, taught me how to do my clothes/hair/ and makeup for camera, taught me Italian diction, and even helped me get into a summer program in Germany when I was 17. I am currently finishing up my Masters degree in Music studying vocal performance at Indiana University- Bloomington, Jacobs School of Music. I study with Carol Vaness and I just finished up my fifth role here as Amastre in Xerxes by Handel. Im currently planning to get my PD at IU and continue my studies with Carol Vaness. I cannot recommend Rebecca enough. If you are considering studying voice or just want to learn how to sing healthfully, look no further. Dr. Rebecca Lord is not only one of the finest teachers I have met, but is also a lifelong mentor and friend.

Dr. Rebecca Lord is a top rate musician, conductor and educator. Not only did she receive her MM and DMA from UCLA under the direction of renowned conductor Donald Neuen, but she brings vast experience in dance, theatre, acting, conducting and voice. She was the Associate Director of Choral activities at UCLA, Voice/Conducting professor at BYU-Idaho and so much more. Her teaching is top notch and very few have come close to the level of progress she can help you achieve. Dr. Lord is able to meet her students where they are in their musical development and equip them with knowledge, experience, and opportunities to help them grow and become their best. In my time studying with Dr. Lord, she was able to teach me concepts, equip me with applicational skills, and was very thorough. She makes sure you not only accomplish a task but also that you understand the process of how to achieve it, how it is relatable to other aspects and how it can benefit you for future challenges. Every time I take lessons with Dr. Lord, I feel uplifted, educated and empowered with knowledge to succeed in the music field. Throughout my study with her (5 years) I have been able to successfully apply for graduate school (both MM and DMA), teach singers and further the developments of my ensembles. Her teachings have always helped me! Take lessons from her! I promise you, you will not regret it and you will see results!!

Ive never had a better voice teacher than Rebecca! Not only is Rebecca an incredibly talented singer, violinist, conductor etc., but she also coaches with phenomenal mentoring skills. I learned so many unforgettable techniques and felt honored to be a student in her studio! She willingly went out of her way to prioritize my improvement. Rebecca helped me accomplish my goals and shoot for the stars! I always left my lessons feeling happier and motivated. She is kind, genuine, observant, intelligent, supportive, and charismatic. Rebecca is the kind of person you want to create a friendship with forever. I look up to her as one of my heros in life. She is a complete master at all she does.
