Bedrossian Music At Your Service

Bedrossian Music At Your Service

Town Band Banter with Doc and Dave Season 3, Episode 6 Dave and I enjoyed a spirited discussion winding through a wide range of topics with Mark Bedrossian and his assistant Anna Masusock. Of course we discussed Mark’s musical instrument repair skills at the foundation of the business, but so much more! Even though the business model has shifted from a focus on school music programs, much of the conversation revealed the music education (private teachers on staff) and customer service components that drive most of their current success. Community Band members and aspiring young music students all have a place here. For locals that have known Bedrossian Music for all or some of Mark’s 48 years of service,  the evolved Bedrossian Music is worth a second look. For those new to Bedrossian Music, there are several unique niches that should be well worth the effort to explore. Thanks to Mark and Anna for the visit and all they contribute to the Rhode Island region’s music community!

An Earful of Banter with Dr. Rachel Smith

Both Dave and Doc have a wonderful friend in this episode’s guest: General Reginald Centracchio. Beyond the fantastic contributions through his military career, he has also contributed to the State of Rhode Island through his trumpet playing and booking and organization of many music opportunities. Now retired from the military, Reggie is the Chair of the 250th Celebration for the the State of Rhode Island as well as his hometown of Scituate, RI. His countless contributions throughout the small, but complex and diverse state are unprecedented. His presence in front of a microphone as well as while leading musical and community events has always been exceptional. We had a great time sharing stories and memories as always with a guy we cherish to call a friend.  We hope you enjoy the ride! S3E5 An Earful of Banter with Dr. Rachel Smith Nothing has been more interesting to us than exploring the perspective of a professional audiologist. We were very lucky to connect with a former elementary school and junior high band student of Dave’s, Dr. Rachel Smith. She was able to offer very practical recommendations for how to care for our ears, especially as performing musicians. In addition, she offered news of breakthroughs in developments in hearing aid technology that should be very helpful to musicians.  Dr. Rachel Smith completed clinical residency at a large ENT practice in Rhode Island and remained at the practice for almost 9 years following graduation. While there, she performed adult and pediatric diagnostic testing including hearing tests and vestibular and electro-physiological diagnostic assessments. She specialized in hearing aid evaluations and dispensing, as well as adult cochlear implants. As the Audiology Clinic Director at URI, Dr. Smith currently provides hearing testing and hearing aid services to the local community while giving undergraduate students the opportunity to learn in an active clinical setting.  Contact through URI audiology Department: rachelsmith@uri.edu [rachelsmith@uri.edu] Office Location: Independence Square.
