Richard Ozanne a visual artist began to study piano at a young age under the tutilage of his parents. As a child he was emersed in the world of classical music partially because of his parents Ozan Marsh and Patricia Benkman who were exponents of some of the greatest known pianists of the 19th and 20th centuries. As an addition to his art he has pursued interests in music. In 1978 he entered the University of Arizona towards a degree in music which was overshadowed by his love of art. He graduated in 1982 with a BFA (In the visual arts)at the University of Arizona, later his MFA at Arizona State Universtiy after 4 years of intensive study in New York as well as completion of his Ph.D doctorate in Europe.
"I suppose a new and strong evolution is required in arts education and art in general...a revolution has to occur within our own dissernement of what beauty is or could be...this is so with all art forms"

John Fields,Hummel, Franz Liszt, Fredrich Chopin, Sergi Rachmaninoff, Alexander Scriabin, Bela Bartok ,Samuel Barber, Rodion Schedrin and many others.
