hit “Rockin’ Robin". His primary teachers were Henry Zlotnik, James Pappoutsakis,
Julius Baker and
Thomas Nyfenger.
As a teenager, Dick wanted to become an orchestral flutist, and played first flute in the Senior Orchestra at the High School of Music and Art
and also the New York All-City High School Orchestra. “Studies with him (
Julius Baker) were geared toward becoming an orchestral player, and that was my dream at the time. But as I grew out of that dream, I realized that my training really hadn’t provided a look at music from the inside, which is what I needed—particularly the idea that music is generated from hearing within and recognizing what you are hearing.”
He became a soloist and composer.
