Bio
Hi everyone,
Happy New Year of singing to you:-)
My name is Rachel Bayliss and I have been teaching singing for over 20 years. I love being part of a wide community of singers and amateur musicians quietly supporting each other to up-skill their singing and express themselves musically. Singing has been a crucial part of my mental health and creative expression. My main intention in teaching is to support people to move from hesitant to confident, embodied joyful singers.
I offer lessons in Central Christchurch (Peterborough St).
My work hours are always changing, so send me times you can do and we’ll find a match.
Also:-)
- I am a member of ukulele original music band “Angelfish”, we perform at folk music and ukulele festivals and also at community events for children. If you would like to learn basic ukulele or percussion to accompany yourself I can help you with that.
- I am the conductor of ” Women In Harmony” which is a community choir for women which practises in St Albans on Thursday nights.
- In in 2026 I will also be leading a choir for the Baha’i community in Spreydon on Saturday mornings.
- I have just joined Kay Duncan’s band as a backing vocalist.
- I often run choirs at local folk music festivals.
