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 had hit a wall with trying to learn guitar from books and YouTube videos. I thought I was never going to get any better. Getting lessons from Rob made everything click. I’m happy to say that I’m able to play songs by other people now, and I’ve been coming up with music of my own. He is seriously the best because he was very patient and kind and he’s also really funny. He built a plan around my understanding to develop my strengths that helped me get to where I am now. Rob, thank you!

Rob is an amazing teacher! Inspiring, encouraging and patient. My skills improved tremendously once I began taking lessons from him, and I love playing guitar more now than ever before.

My daughter and I have been taking lessons with Robert at California Virtual Guitar Academy for over five years, and we have been very happy with the experience! Robert is an engaging, patient, and fun teacher, and I have progressed from never having touched a guitar to being able to play complex classical guitar pieces with confidence. Lessons with Robert are enjoyable and informative, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and the Academy to others (and have many times!).

I've been playing guitar casually off and on for about 10 years, but I never took the time to properly learn from a teacher. A friend recommended Robert and after a quick intro conversation with him, I was very excited to begin my formal education. After nearly 10 months of lessons, what I've learned goes way beyond fingering and chord shapes and scales - Rob is an educator and mentor in the truest sense. His approach to teaching is pragmatic, his patience is unparalleled, and his ability to convey complex concepts in practical, simple terms is really unlike anyone I've ever met. My playing and my technique has improved exponentially since I started taking lessons from Rob, and I have recommended him to all of my musician friends. Thanks for being the great teacher that you are Rob!
