Linda Randazzo Branch Manager / VP Franchise Support
I became involved with Paul Green back in '99. I read an article in Philadelphia Magazine and knew immediately that this would be perfect for my daughter. When I tracked him down, Paul was still working out of his apartment. When he opened his first official school, I enrolled my son. We've come such a long way since then!
Both of my kids became a part of the original All-Star team who had the good fortune to travel the country (and Germany) performing with amazing rock legends.
This has been such a positive part of our lives, I decided to change careers to help spread the word of this amazing program and keep it true to Paul's vision. I currently run the Cherry Hill School and assist in supporting our new schools across the country.

Mike Scarpato Guitar/Bass Instructor
Born and raised in South Jersey, Mike picked up the guitar at the age of 14 after being influenced by the records his older brother played, including the Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath among many others. After noodling around with the guitar and playing in cover bands at local dances, Mike spent years developing his style while taking lessons from various teachers in the area.
With the new skills he learned, he put them to use writing and recording with various bands throughout the next few years. In the meantime, playing regularly at such clubs as L’Amours in NYC, The Galaxy, The Cell Block, The Trocedero and the Hard Rock in Philly among many others. Meeting many musicians along the way was always a highlight. Believing that “you can never stop learning, at any level.”
Today, Mike continues to write and record original music as well as teach to anyone who wants to learn.
