Rich Grennor, a musician of many faces, grew up in Elizabeth, NJ.  His talent and appreciation for music as a whole shines brighter than most musicians of his time.  Studying melodic instruments at a very young age broadened his potential which eventually led him to theory and arranging.

    Rich is a professionally trained saxophonist, clarinetist and flautist.  While earning his Baccalaureate of Arts degree in music education from Kean University, he studied with world-renowned jazz performer, Andy Fusco.  Shortly thereafter, Rich earned his Master of Arts degree in Educational Leadership from Fairleigh Dickinson University.

    Through the years, Mr. Grennor has been active as a music educator, clinician, director and arranger in the public school system.  He has conducted pit ensembles, jazz ensembles, concert bands and orchestras.  In the mist of his busy schedule is a functioning private studio to serve students throughout Central Jersey.  

    Rich’s dedication and committment to music is evident as he is a member of the Music Educators National Council (MENC), the New Jersey Music Educator Association (NJMEA), the International Association For Jazz Education (IJAE), the Technology Institute For Music Education (T:IME) and the New Jersey School Principals Association (NJSPA).

    Rich is currently performing as a freelance musician with various Latin bands throughout New York, New Jersey and Pennsyvania.
