- VOCAL COACHING/TECHNIQUE/PIANO -
For 20 years, Rich has taught, and beautifully guided, some of the finest young talent in Los Angeles on their road to success in Broadway Musicals & National Tours, opera productions around the world, as recording artists in pop, jazz & country genres and various movie/television projects.
"Rich is an amazing teacher, one who always manages to get the best out of his students. This point becomes obvious when you realize the caliber of talent he has been integral in cultivating. So many of us have gone onto successful careers in Theatre, TV and Film. I know I speak for all of his students when I say Thank you Mr. Schraier!"
Sara Andreas - Broadway & first national tours of Catch Me If You Can, The Addams Family, Legally Blonde and many others.
"When I am recording a new CD he usually receives the final mix to review for me. I credit him as my musical conscience on my CDs. He may get a call while I’m in the studio on a phrasing question or “do you think I should pronounce it this way, or that?” Rich not only brings his wonderful teaching ability, support and enthusiasm to his work, but an incredible knowledge of music that covers the Great American Songbook, and every song in every musical ever produced (plus the songs that were cut)."
Banu Gibson - Recording Artist and International Performance Artist; Boston Pops at Symphony Hall, Entertainment Tonight; PBS's Jazz From New Orleans; Joan Lunden's Everyday, 2001 Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl.
