My wife and I had a "bake off" of sorts with a few teachers for our 2 children. Rob was no-contest selected by both! He's patient with them, understands what they'd like to learn (eventually). He's exactly the kind of teacher I want for my kids so they'll enjoy music and look forward to their next lesson.

Lessons are $60 for a single one hour lesson, $45 for a 45 minute lesson & $30 for a half hour.

I like to find what interests a student & gear the lessons toward what will keep them engaged and enthused to learn piano & music.

Music is the language of the universe.

I attended Emerson College for Performing Arts/Musical Theater/ Vocal Direction/ Music Directing/Piano Proficiency. At Berklee College of Music I studied Piano performance, Film scoring & Recording Engineering.
