Rick's Music World

We recently received the sad news that one of our beloved former teachers has passed away.

Windsor Pediford, affectionately known as “Tito,” was one of our most cherished instructors. A gifted multi-instrumentalist, performer, and educator, Tito inspired countless students and fellow musicians throughout his career, helping many find both confidence and success in music.

In this photo, Tito is pictured alongside fellow teachers and friends David McCarron and Billy Sukeforth.

Although Tito moved away many years ago, he has never been forgotten here at Rick’s Music World. His passion, talent, and dedication left a lasting impact on our community and on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his loving wife, Tanya, and to his entire family during this difficult time. Tito will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
