Guerrero’s piano studies also include Gyorgy Sebok at the Banff School of Fine Arts in Alberta, Canada, Robin Wood, Nohema Fernandez and Ralph Votapek. Dr. Guerrero is a strong advocate of the philosophy that music education and participation in music should be accessible to everyone. Music is expressive, inventive, meaningful, but most importantly, humanistic. It is an artistic form of self-expression from within. Offering music instruction within the community provides all students with diverse backgrounds, regardless of their age, level or ethnicity, the opportunity to contribute to the cultural and social life of the communities in which they live. Rosi has been an adjudicator for the Washington State Music Teachers Association State Honors Piano Recital Competition, the Washington State Music Teachers Association Honors Recognition Piano Recital and the Michigan Music Association Annual Piano Competition.

Dr. Guerrero served on the music faculty as an adjunct instructor in piano pedagogy at Michigan State University (MSU) and has been a former faculty member of the Community Music School at MSU, the Tucson Valley Suzuki Association, and the Southwest School of Music in Tucson.

Through lecture-demonstrations of keyboard applications skills and music fundamentals, she assisted students in acquiring skills to improvise, develop aural cognition, harmonize and apply theoretical concepts to other subjects within their degree program. Her extensive training also includes working with beginning level pedagogy courses and the piano pedagogy Children’s Preparatory Program at MSU, providing hands-on demonstrations and acting as supervising teacher for undergraduate pedagogy and piano majors. This is an innovative and valuable program to undergraduate degree students because it provides the opportunity for college students to become directly involved within the community, and at the same time, equips students with the necessary teaching tools in order to prepare them toward a successful teaching career in music.
