SONGWRITING - VOICE - GUITAR - PIANO - MUSIC THEORY
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. At 16, Ralph began taking piano, guitar, and voice lessons. This was only the beginning, and opened many doors in music for Ralph. His next chapter in life with music involved him receiving a Bachelor’s in Music Education in 2018 from Towson University.
For a majority of his life, he has performed with a variety of musicians and groups ranging from the Maryland State Boychoir to All State Jazz Bands from his adolescence. Today, he performs with two bands: The indie pop band called “Plant Dad” and a country project called “Cromwell and Sparrow.”
If he is not teaching, he is frequently performing all over the DMV area with his bands and writing with fellow songwriters throughout the East Coast and Canada. His philosophy is: your skills improve with every performance. To be a great musician, you also have to be a great performer.
