“ROGER PITTS...one of America's most skilled and experienced community
artists.”
Deborah Klein — National
Coordinator, Artists and Communities: America Creates for the Millenium
“Pitts played the guitar with expertise equal or greater to the greats
of our day, and
his skill as a pianist and keyboardist kept students intrigued throughout
the concert-seminar.”

In Roger’s case, I think he has hit on a spectacular way of keeping the art of music alive and exciting. He is doing something that too many of us won’t do – embraced change. He shows complete respect for the “traditional” methods, but has added technology - the necessary component to keeping today’s youth engaged.
