From the desk of Pat Garbatini

Born and raised in Connecticut, my dream began at the young age of 7, when i decided that I wanted to be a music teacher. I had the good fortune of studying with the finest music professors at the University of Bridgeport; Rudy Mollnaro, Linda Soley Reed and Frank Porto Jr.

Managing and teaching at many music schools in Connecticut prepared me for the ownership of my own Farmingwood Music Studio in Bristol, CT.

I’ve entered hundreds of my students in various solo and ensemble competitions over the years and I am proud of their accomplishments and numerous trophies.

…and my dream continues…
