About Me.
Hello, and welcome to Studio GRC!
I'm Rebecca and am the founder of Studio GRC, a vocal studio serving the NYC performance community in person and singers virtually across the country.
With over 15 years of teaching experience, my focus is on helping my students master their technique, work through mindset blocks, and access the consistent support they need to reach their creative goals.
My students can be found in the recording studio, on NYC stages, and on touring stages around the country. I help performers at every level break through their blocks and grow into the confident, grounded artists they want to become.

When I'm Not Teaching or Performing
I am an avid reader, an enthusiastic walker, and a lover of cities and travel. I am also the proud auntie of seven nephews and one niece — and I easily consider "auntie" to be my favorite role of all.
