Introduction

Have you ever asked yourself if you can also sing freely, while in control of your voice, making that desired tone? If you want to improve your singing in a fun relaxed environment, then you’re in the right place! Hi! I'm Rana! I’m a professional singer in Los Angeles. I have a masters degree in vocal performances, I am also a certified CCM teacher with specialty in singing contemporary music. Studying classical music and singing opera gave me a solid foundation in vocal techniques and my performance experience as a rock singer made me a crossover singer/teacher. I teach multiple genres: from Classical Music and Opera, to Pop, Musical Theatre, R&B and Rock. Here is a summary of the topics that I cover during my lessons: -Proper posture, breathing and exercises -Singing in tune, following the rhythm and tempo -Concept of chest, head voice and mix voice -Mastering your high range, falsetto, belt -Singing riffs, and runs, harmonizing and improvisation -Musical phrasing, musicality, projection -Helping you find your unique, authentic voice -Stage presence, building confidence against stage freight - Preparing students for their recitals, auditions and competitions -Online recitals twice a year Whether you just started to sing for the first time, or have the experience, or even if you want to prepare a song for a special occasion, I can help you by creating a customized lesson plan in the best way that suits your goals! I have a great passion for teaching and sharing my knowledge. Let’s meet and make music together!

My lessons with Rana have been great! I’ve learned a lot already with her like proper breathing technique, warming up properly, and my biggest which was finding out what my giant voice was. I’ve gained confidence in my singing and it’s only the beginning of the journey. Would definitely recommend for singers at any level who are trying to enhance their singing!

Ranâ is a fantastic singing coach. Her ability to articulate nuanced techniques and suggest subtle adjustments that lead to significant impacts is truly remarkable. As a newer student, I value how she not only builds my confidence but tailors her guidance to my current capabilities, all the while fueling my aspirations with “what’s possible.” She takes a structured yet flexible approach to building your voice, focusing on fundamentals while also diving into songs right away. Also, Ranâ fosters a sense of community by connecting her students through recitals, providing opportunities to connect, learn, and forge relationships. An added highlight is a recital featuring a live band—an absolute bucket-list experience for many. With her kindness, patience, and enthusiasm, I wholeheartedly recommend Ranâ for singing lessons and thank her for sharing her expertise!

Rana was a pleasure to work with. As a complete novice without any musical background, she made me feel very at ease and comfortable since Day 1 and really helped me step out my comfort zone. The vocal warm-ups and techniques I learned from our sessions were very useful and I could really hear and feel a difference in my singing when I applied them correctly; Rana was also great at dissecting the songs I sang to help me deliver them with more depth and emotion. The one thing that I felt could have been better aligned was having more familiarity with/emphasis on R&B music, but overall, I still enjoyed all of songs we worked on. Rana was professional, light hearted, and kind. She is dedicated to helping her students improve and enjoy the process. Would recommend!

I’ve been working with Rana for a couple of months now and have already noticed huge improvements in my voice. She is very knowledgeable and has helped with my technique, breathing and we even dive into some music theory. I am so pleased with the improvements I’ve made and the singing goals I have achieved in the short time of working with her. She is experienced, patient and very fun to work with. If you want an excellent singing teacher, then Rana is for you!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer students a free 30 minutes trial lesson for us to talk about their goals and get to know each other better. I have monthly packages that are less than my individual hourly lessons. Come take a free trial lesson with me and we can discuss these rates!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
During our first session, I will talk to you about proper breathing, the muscles engaged, and generally our body as the instrument. Next I warm up your voice with vocal exercises that will help with expanding the range and building your techniques. Then you can sing something you like for me so I can hear your voice and find out your vocal range. We will then talk about your favorite songs/artists and the styles you are interested at, so I can suggest songs that will work on your range and improve your techniques and of course set up a lesson plan based on that.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started playing flute and piano as a kid. I got my degree in Instrumental Music (flute) from Rahil Conservatory in Tehran, where I played as a professional flutist in multiple orchestras and ensembles. Meanwhile I began my study of singing and performing in choirs. After moving to United States, I studied voice at Pasadena City College and later I received my masters degree in Vocal Performances from California State University, Northridge. I am also a certified CCM teacher from Shenandoah Conservatory where I was trained by some of the best coaches of the industry
