Richman Music School

Ms. Cherie Valaray is an extraordinary teacher. The wealth of information I have learned from her is invaluable. Before taking vocal lessons with her, I had no idea what the resonance mask was, open throat technique, or singing with my diaphragm. Now, I can sing with less strain and have a louder, steadier sound. Her creative analogies really help me understand what I need to do in order to improve my singing. 10/10 would recommend her as a vocal coach. She has so much experience and knows what she is talking about. Not to mention that she is also caring and encouraging as well.

Two years ago I had the good fortune to find Howard Richman. I was looking for a way to rehab my hand following surgery and decided to look into piano lessons. As a senior, I admittedly had some reservations about the challenges of learning to play an instrument. However, Howard's inspiring teaching techniques combined with his delightful personality have made my experience a totally positive one. I am playing what I consider to be fairly complex works, and Ive even succeeded in improving the strength and dexterity in my hand. Howard does not live near me, but he is well worth the drive.!

Howard is an awesome teacher! He took some difficult music and made it so much easier for me to play and understand! He has a bunch of experience and is fun to work with!! I recommend him as a teacher who knows his stuff, is a pro and very positive and encouraging!!
