A dedicated teacher, Rachel began giving lessons at the age of sixteen when she was asked to help out with the younger players at her school and within a year of leaving the Royal Northern College of Music she was appointed as baroque flute teacher. After many years at the RNCM she went on to teach at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, the Birmingham Conservatoire and as lecturer in classical studies at the Guildhall School. She is currently professor of baroque flute at the Royal College of Music in London.
Rachel has given masterclasses in the USA, Canada, Spain, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Croatia, Brazil and New Zealand.
Always enjoying working with children, Rachel has taught recorder at Wells Cathedral School and currently teaches flute and recorder at City of London School. She also runs her own music group, Hummingbirds for pre-school children.
She teaches in her studio at home and from time to time organizes classes in London.
