Rob has done a great job teaching my son (9 yrs) for the past 6 months. As others have noted, he tailors the content to my son's ability and interests. After 3 years of plodding through piano lessons, it's great to see my son enjoying playing music again! Thanks, Rob!

Rob is teaching my 8-year old, Charlie. He's done a great job of crafting lessons and practices that are good for a kid. He's also patient, which is key with an 8-year old. I am a drummer myself and I am also pleased with Rob's perspective on technique and how to teach the drums.
