Robert is truly an artist and a great musician. My son benefited a lot from his lesson in the past. He is also an excellent piano accompanist. He helped my son won a few Concerto Competitions.

Robert is probably the best piano teacher I've had - he's certainly the one I've made the most improvements with and in the shortest amount of time. He has great technique, knowledge, and insights into the music and is equally great at transferring all of that. It's nice having a teacher that loves what he teaches - it definitely makes lessons much more enjoyable.

My children have taken lessons from Robert for years now, one a beginning student and one with several years of training. We were looking for a teacher who could bring a fresh perspective to learning piano, with a good-natured spirit. We found these qualities in Robert— a creative and interesting approach to beginning piano, a gentle and thoughtful demeanor, and access to his own current work, which makes the repetitoir exciting. Robert is dependable, professional and trustworthy. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone wishing to begin or continue piano lessons.

Robert McDonald is one of the most accomplished pianists in Austin, TX, both as a performer and pedagogue. I have had the great pleasure of working with him on multiple occasions, and he has greatly exceeded my expectations in terms of preparedness, musicality, and professionalism. He is a kind and patient teacher who invests greatly in each student, and his technique as a performer and knowledge of the piano repertoire is second to none.
