Rita Goldman

Rita Goldman sat right next to her future husband in high school and recalls with a smile how their friendship turned to a long and loving marriage. She also warmly recalls his passion for the piano business. Harry Goldman was the founder of Fields Piano in southern California, a store that continues to be run by his sons. Rita took part in the growth and development of the company, in particular the rental program. Yet, what she remembers most is just how much Harry loved the piano business and the many friends he acquired over his long career. Just before his passing, Harry successfully transitioned the company over to his sons, all three of which played an active role. During her NAMM interview, Rita conveyed her strong sense of pride in her sons for continuing the tradition she and her husband started.
