Rachel Greenup

Violin/Voice/Piano

Born and raised in California, Ms. Rachel pursued the arts at a young age. Dancing was her first love when she started taking ballet lessons at the age of three but it was her ear for music that inspired her to study violin. She was 8 years old when she joined the Ojai Youth Orchestra a few months after learning, then a couple years later earned the role of first violinist. Some of her earlier musical accomplishments include receiving awards at various competitions and being accepted to the prestigious Idyllwild Arts Academy Highschool where she studied under Todor Pelev. She is currently completing her bachelors in violin performance studying with Dr. Lorenz Gamma.

Prior to pursuing her music degree at CSUN, Ms. Rachel studied abroad in Slovakia with renowned violinist, Peter Michalica and then voice and acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Hollywood. Along with violin she learned piano, just like her mother who wanted to become a concert pianist, and advanced her skills. For the past 7 years, she has found a love for teaching music and helping students find joy in learning the arts. She is happy to be a part of Knauer Music School.
