Ronnie Nissinboim
The Young Women's Leadership School of Brooklyn
Music Teacher
New York
Ronnie Nissinboim has been teaching at the Young Women's Leadership School of Brooklyn for four years. The school had no prior music program, so Ronnie created one. He now has a full Modern Band and Guitar program, and also teaches a Modern Percussion course in the form of bucket drumming. Teaching a full guitar program, in which all students learn guitar, has allowed Ronnie to focus greatly on developing guitar pedagogy and curriculum. He holds an Advanced Certificate in Music Education and a Masters in Music Education, both from Brooklyn College. His primary instrument is guitar, but he is proficient on piano as well.
