Team

Rachel C. (Co-President)

Hi everyone, welcome to MusicBox!

I'm Rachel, a 4th year student majoring in Psychology and French, but above all I am a musician (piano player) and music lover. This is actually my 3rd year with MusicBox. In my first year, I was a WMA teacher, and last year, I was the Treasurer. Being part of this vibrant community and having the chance to work with such amazing kids has truly been a highlight of my university experience. I have always been inspired by their enthusiasm and it has been a real delight to work alongside and learn from my fellow music lovers.

I'm looking forward to a great year, and I hope to see you join our team!
