“CLOSE ENOUGH FOR CLASSICAL”

Ron Levy is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Henry Mancini Scholarship For the Composition of Music for Motion Pictures and Television.

Henry was super cool!

"and HIS teacher was ..."

Ron’s music studies began early at the age of six with piano lessons, first from the local music store that had a GIANT accordion by the front door, but soon moving to Katherine Hyde’s studio in Fort Lauderdale. Mrs. Hyde was a white-haired Grand Dame from the Viennese school, with two Steinway grands side-by-side in her dimly lit dark red and brown living room.

She liked to say that "[her] teacher’s teacher’s teacher was Beethoven."
