Rahel began her musical studies at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA where she learned piano, recorder and solfeges (sight singing).

She studied Eurhythmics (Music Education for Children) at the Levinsky School of Music in Tel Aviv, and jazz guitar with Eitan Zahavi, Avner Strauss and Aharoni Ben Ari.
Rahel's musical versatility has enabled her to perform as a soloist and with a number of musicians in groups, bands and ensembles. In 1976 she began her career as a songwriter while performing with the "Tofa'ah" band. She was a member of many folk groups and appeared regularly at clubs and coffeehouses and annually since its inception at the Jacob's Ladder Folk Festival. Rahel won second place for two consecutive years at the AACI English Songwriting Competition and has recorded a number of CD's for children and adults alike.
Since 1997, Rahel has been engaged in the study and practice of music as a unique and powerful form of energy medicine that supports mind-body-spirit healing, transformation and transition. Rahel serves musically in hospice and senior facilities including working with Alzheimers, Dementia and memory loss. She also offers concert-style musical massage and sound therapy sessions for individuals and in group settings. More recently she has become immersed in the study of spiritually-based healing.
