Ralph Bernabe is a Baltimore musician, songwriter, and instructor. He believes in learning and progressing in music at any age and time. “No one is ever too old to learn a new skill.”
He began his musical endeavors by teaching himself guitar, piano, and vocals while performing jazz, pop, and country covers. Soon, he realized that he wanted to have music as his career.

Rosetta Isnardi is a lifelong musician, who believes wholly in the power of musical curiosity and expression. She began her musical career by slapping at the piano’s keys cantankerously as a baby, and started lessons as a kindergartener in an effort to play more sonorously. Eventually she decided to devote her life to music, so she got a BS in Keyboard Performance (piano and harpsichord) from Adelphi University in Garden City, NY, and an MM in Piano Pedagogy and Performance from Westminster Choir College of Rider University in Princeton, NJ. Her penchant for playing the piano has landed her on concert hall stages, ballet studios, recording studios, and in bars and rock stages (as a keyboardist with the band Survival Society..
Her incredibly supportive family endured years of squeaking as 4th grade Rosetta began her studies of the violin, and watched the growth of a young musician with an unquenchable thirst for classical music. In fact, in one of her happiest childhood memories, Rosetta recalls laying sprawled on the carpet, blasting Tchaikovsky 6 on the boombox in her bedroom, and playing Zelda games on her muted Game Boy Color. She wishes to bring that kind of joy to everyone.
Rosetta has taught in a variety of settings, and has decided the private studio is where her passion and talents lie. She lets her students’ tastes and curiosity determine exactly the ways she will teach them. She brings diversity to The Music Space with teaching piano, violin, voice, and music theory.
