About Us

---

I’m Richard Mannarino—musician, educator, and founder of UmnoFool Productions. I’ve been playing music most of my life, and teaching it for over a decade. My approach is built on patience, real connection, and making music feel accessible to anyone, no matter their age or experience. Whether it’s piano, trumpet, guitar, or saxophone, I specialize in helping beginners unlock their creative voice step by step. My style is down-to-earth, intuitive, and tailored to the person—not just the instrument.

UmnoFool Productions is more than a teaching studio—it’s a creative home for music, story, and legacy. I create video biographies, host collaborative street musician sessions, build original content, and help others tell their story through sound and memory. My mission is to make education, expression, and truth more available—to preserve the people and ideas that might otherwise fade, and to remind others (and myself) that creativity is not a luxury—it’s a life force!
