In addition, but also as an organic part of his doing, Ronnie Burrage has been an influential teacher, both privately and in significant institutions. He was Instructor at Penn State University , The University of the Arts, Philadelphia 1999 -6 and as a confirming expression of his long career as a much -sought performer he is now a key instructor at Old Westbury College, where he leads one of the most dynamic programs of teaching and performing jazz that exists throughout the country. Prof Burrage is known not only for his virtuoso ability with all forms of percussion, but as an innovative composer and program designer who can put together dramatic musical programs which are deeply educational and altogether entertaining. I am writing these things because I think more people need to know Ronnie Burrage, who has been on the scene, like they say, and has been saying something musically, at a very high level." - Amiri Baraka, Author
