"Robert is a terrific instructor for a number of reasons:  I am a 40-year old beginner (yes, you can learn to play at 40!).  I have no real musical experience to speak of (grade school trumpet for a couple years, but nothing after that).  But I've been a life long music fan (all different kinds) due to the influence of my "hippie" parents.

I found Robert through this ClickForLessons service after I decided to take my interest to the music store and buy a guitar (initially an acoustic, but I recently went "electric" also).  I've been taking lessons with Robert since July 2006 and have enjoyed every minute of them.

Robert is a terrific instructor for a number of reasons.  He is comfortable and fluent with all forms and styles of music.  For me, this makes every lesson very enjoyable because I can explore my different musical interests during my lessons and Robert quickly adapts to this.

On more than one occasion, I have brought a "cool" song to my lesson and Robert used it to emphasize either things I was working on or something new that complimented my lesson plan.  He does a great job of breaking techniques and methods down into manageable pieces, helping me match my lessons to the goals I have in learning to play (this is especially important to those of us with many other things competing for our attention).

Robert is very good about listening to me, my musical goals/aspirations and interests, and helping me integrate all of these elements effectively into my lessons and practice sessions.  I especially like how Robert adapts his instructional style, approach and material to each individual student.  He recognizes that everyone learns in different ways and at different speeds.  He is not set in a single approach or method of learning or teaching.

Overall, I find my lessons with Robert are always very informative, challenging, but most importantly, fun!  Robert does a great job of making learning fun without being intimidating. I definitely look forward to my lesson time every week, and find I leave his studio eager to "crank up my amp to 11!" the rest of the day (if only I had the time to do so...)!"
