A multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer, Norman Rosenfield lives in Providence with his wife and family.
He earned a Bachelor of Music Composition from Berklee College of Music, as well as a Masters in Music Education and Ethnomusicology from New England Conservatory.
After retiring from teaching music in private and public schools, Norman has focused much of his time writing and producing music in his home studio.
He also plays baritone horn in the Community College of Rhode Island Music Ensemble. Music journalism is another passion, as featured in his “Fifty Years Ago in Music This Month” column.
Most recently, he released a pandemic project called The Doronic Verses with his wife and two sons.
Rather than going on family vacations for the past few years, he’s taken his family into the studio to record an album of original alternative rock songs. Norman plays guitar and keyboard, his wife Janice is on drums, his older son Aryeh on bass, and younger son Yosef sings lead and plays acoustic guitar. His daughter Chani is their photographer.
