Introduction: NOW OFFERING LESSONS USING THE ZOOM APP!!! "Mr. Bob's Personal Philosophy/Mission Statement": Music is a language. We use language to communicate by sharing our ideas with others, learning ideas from other people by asking questions and coming together to create something greater than ourselves. So please feel free to strike up a conversation with me anytime and I'm sure we'll both learn quite a lot from each other :) I play a variety of instruments, play a variety of styles of music and teach students of all ages and skill levels. Although my main instruments are guitar, bass, piano, ukulele and drums. As per my business card: "Instrument and Music Theory Lessons for Students Of All Ages From Beginner To Advanced Levels" I enjoy everything about the work I do! I get to play music with and teach curious, motivated, talented students and in the process I generally learn something such as a new song, style of playing or way of teaching that I can then share with my other students. I also get to enjoy the hospitality of the clients and parents of students that I teach.

Bob is punctual, flexible, and patient. My boys are pretty bouncy and never practice, but they look forward to their lessons with Bob and are steadily improving. Great experience so far!

We moved to Homer Glen an year ago and I was searching for an experienced piano teacher. My 11 yo daughter was advanced in classical music so I was uncertain about hiring piano/guitar teacher. Little that I knew... Bob flawlessly pushes her progress with Chopin, encourages creativity as well as teaches her different genres. And yes, he will pull his guitar to make sure that she knows how to play along different instruments. Most importantly, he assures that she loves playing music ... not just training it. Thank you Bob!

Details: 10 - 13 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a piano • 30 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

As someone who has prior experience with music and is learning at a later age than others (early 20s) I appreciate Bob's ability to adjust the lessons to my skill level. He was quick to skip any material that was too easy and avoid explaining musical concepts I was already familiar with. I definitely appreciate his enthusiasm towards music, which makes lessons feel less like a chore and more like a fun opportunity to play music. He also isn't afraid to push me in the right direction if he notices I'm not practicing as efficiently as I could be.

Details: 18 - 25 years old • Yes, the student can read music • No formal training; some self-taught experience • Pop • Yes, the student has a keyboard • 45 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Bob does and excellent job teaching guitar to my 13-year-old son. He both challenges him and makes the lessons fun which is a perfect combination for a teacher. My son really enjoys the lessons and has made great improvement. So glad we found Bob!

Mr. Bob is teaching guitar to my 11 year old and piano to my 9 year old. He is always friendly and patient with both of them no matter what kind of mood they are in. My daughter has special needs, and Mr. Bob teaches at a pace that is accessible and appropriate to her. I would definitely recommend him.
