Ranon Herman Biography
Originally from Johns Creek, Georgia, I am currently finishing the thesis for my masters in music education at UIUC and have been teaching in Illinois since 2017, including in Chicago Public School (CPS) for three years. While working in CPS, the Marine Leadership Academy Band received straight superiors at competition under my direction. From 2018 to 2020 I performed in several community music ensembles throughout Chicago including at DePaul University, Horner Park, and in several improv and musical improv shows at the IO Theater in Chicago.
I also worked as the Assistant Director at Anshe Emet in Chicago for its Annual Youth Play in 2016. I won the IFV 48 hour film competition award for best Director and Best Film for the film The Witness. I also have a book of poetry published called an Ice Cube Down My Back and music on all streaming platforms under the artist name Ranonomous.
