Introduction: As a performing musician I have played for 3 presidents and the Queen of England, traveling throughout the U.S and abroad. As an instructor, I have taught both at the college level, various music schools and have currently been teaching from my studio for the past 8 years. I teach from my studio located at 68th + West End Av. And lastly, I really get a lot of satisfaction watching students progress, realizing their goals, and getting excited about doing something that they weren't able to do before.

Robert is excellent! I had minimal musical background when I started taking lessons with him and only a few months in already feel confident playing some simple pieces. He worked on my hand posture, scales, hand-coordination and gave me some fun songs to learn. He is very patient and provides lots of constructive feedback. Highly recommend!

Robert is an excellent piano teacher. He meets you where you're at and adapts his lesson plan to fit your interests/learning style. His keen attention to detail is very helpful as far as developing proper technique, and as someone less than enamored of sight-reading, I particularly appreciate the way he has incorporated improvisation into the curriculum. Within a few lessons, he got me playing a 12-bar blues progression which has helped me navigate the keyboard with a greater sense of purpose. Would highly recommend!

Rob is a great teacher and musician on his own. His non-rushed and hands on approach really corrected my bad habits. He taught me how to read music and play in ways that I never thought of before. Most importantly, he is truly happy when you are improving. Definitely the best guitar teachers that I ever had. Highly recommended.

Guitar Lessons

I’ve been taking piano lessons with Robert for about 2 months after taking a break for many years. He provides a good balance between technical exercises and enjoyable songs. He also has taught me to carefully identify patterns and theory in the music (not just reading notes), and he provides historical context for songs across many different genres. He gives constant constructive feedback and does so in a patient manner. And he also provides additional notes outside of class. His scheduling has been very flexible for me, and is very responsive. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to start learning piano or wants to improve their playing.

I’ve taken guitar lessons with Robert for nearly a year. He’s a great teacher and talented musician and composer. Robert gives me music that challenges me but helps me develop my skills, tailors our lessons to the kinds of music/artists I want to learn to play, and is flexible and easy to get ahold of. Highly recommend.
