GOOSBY’S MOTHER, Jiji Goosby, a Korean woman who grew up in Japan passionately loving music and dance, was the linchpin of Randall’s early violin education. He took his mother up on the offer and stayed with Kroumovitch-Gomez as a student for three years. There were nights when the children were at home with no parents, eating a microwave dinner or pizza. “I really understood even then how much of a sacrifice it was for my whole family,” Goosby said. “I had idolized Mr. Perlman, and of course I had my preconceived notion of what he’d be like,” Goosby said.
