Robert was incredible to work with! He did a great job understanding where I was in my guitar playing journey and tailored our lessons specifically to help me get better. He is extremely knowledgeable as a guitar player and was able to relate to all of the different types of music that I was trying to play. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to further their guitar skills!

I’ve had a very pleasant experience taking classes with Robert. He’s very patient, encouraging, and has the right technique for teaching guitar. He has been quick to respond and has been accommodating with my requests. I’m happy to continue taking classes with him.

Robert is AWESOME. I’m in my 40s and re-learning after time spent on a dissertation chewed up my guitar skills. I’m learning so much that I should have learned when I began as a teenager that no one else taught me - and should have. One thing that makes Robert stand out is that he makes sure you’re ready to go — working on things like grip and hand positioning — and doesn’t just throw you some tabs. I’m gradually breaking 30 years of bad habits and improving as a player. He’s also very patient and non-judgmental. He gets it if you’re not Hendrix. In fact, he encourages you to play slowly before just tearing into something. Again, this guy is awesome.

Robert is one of the gentlest and kindest teachers I have ever worked with. I love learning from him and it's so nice to work with a teacher who feels like they are really "with you." When you are around Robert you can just feel how present he is with his students and how much he cares. I feel so encouraged when I'm learning from Robert and feel very hopeful for my growth with guitar! Thank you Robert :)

I like his technique in teaching an old man to have good habits in practicing guitar.
