About


Thanks for stopping by Lenox School of Music, where we take a great deal of pride in our burning passion to teach.

Instruction is set in a private one-to-one environment and lessons are taught by dedicated and accomplished professional musicians. Our instructors work individually with students to assist them to realize their personal and professional musical goals. Whether you want to learn a specific style—rock, blues, jazz—master the riffs for a group of favorite tunes, or gain complete mastery of the guitar, bass, piano, voice or drums, our experienced faculty will teach you how to get the most enjoyment out of your playing.

For over three decades John “Ratso” Gerardi the founder and owner of Lenox School of Music and Lenox Sound Recording Studio, has been an enduring presence on the Fairfield County music scene both as a performer (musician, singer/songwriter, producer, and bandleader) and teacher.

This is what one student’s father said about the impact of guitar lessons from Ratso: “Ratso’s lessons are life lessons.”

Let’s build something together.
