About Mr. Ragusa

Thanks for stopping by my site! I am the Music Teacher at School #3 and School #5 in Cliffside Park. I started my own musical journey in 5th grade in my hometown of Bergenfield, when I began learning to play the trumpet. By the time I got to high school I knew I would become a music teacher because of the inspirational educators I learned from along the way.

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from William Paterson College, and began teaching in Cliffside Park in September of 1998. It has been a truly wonderful experience, and very rewarding - especially when our performances are enjoyed by families and friends!
