• Bio: Music Together Tri Valley DBA Seven Rains Music LLC

After teaching the program for over 8 years, in both the Bay Area and New York City, Rana is ecstatic to be the new director of Music Together in the Tri-Valley. Bringing the joy of music into people's lives, hearts, and homes is one of Rana's greatest joys... second only to making music with her own family. Originally from the Bay Area, Rana began her creative career in junior high with The Belasco Theatre Company, performing in several musicals each year, and meeting the people who would become most influential in her life. She went on to graduate with honors from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where she earned a BFA in Musical Theater, as well as The Founders Day Award for academic excellence. Rana has been teaching voice, acting, dance and music, directing (and choreographing) both youth productions and adult theatre, and coaching private lessons for singers, musicians and actors for almost two decades. Rana feels that introducing young children to music is of the utmost importance, not only to the future of the planet, but to the health and well-being of its individuals. In the wise words of Victor Wooten, "Music can save the world." Rana is a registered Music Together and Canta y Baila Conmigo teacher, and was awarded Certification Level 1 Music Together® in 2019 for outstanding achievement in teaching and articulation of the program.
