“I enjoyed playing drums with Rob because he is a super funny, laughing, fun guy.”
Everett, age 7 – drum set
“I’d always wanted to play the drums, but I felt a little uncomfortable starting at the late age of 17. I signed up for lessons with Rob, and the first thing that struck me was his welcoming attitude and enthusiasm. All thoughts of discomfort were disbanded immediately, and I couldn’t help but look forward to practicing on my own time and going to lessons on Monday afternoons. Rob taught me so much about drumming (and I had an amazing time learning), but arguably more importantly he instilled in me the desire to learn on my own and a passion to pursue something fun and fulfilling.”
Riley, Age 19 – Drum set and Afro-Cuban percussion
I enjoyed working with Rob because first of all, he made me the percussionist I am today. Not just a drum set player, but a percussionist too. He helped me through every problem with school band that I brought to him. I would be nowhere near as skilled as I am without him. He’s very thorough with his walkthroughs, even during virtual lessons. Rob isn’t only a teacher, but a friend. He always checks up on me and seems very interested in my life.”
Henry, age 15 – Drum set
“I have known Rob for the last four years and he has always helped me with tough music and improved my drumming so much. He’s very fun to be around and to be taught by.”
Graham, age 10 – Drum set
“During these last four and a half years Rob has pushed me harder than ever to make me the best drummer possible. I really enjoy spending time with Rob, I will miss him for sure. Thanks for everything! If it was not for you, I would not be the person I am today.”
Tanner, age 11 – Drum set
“I’ve always wanted to play the drums and Rob has made that a reality. He has been a fantastic teacher over the last four and a half years. He is also a very nice and genuine person, and a fantastic percussionist. He is by far the best teacher I’ve ever had.”
Logan, age 15 – Drum set
“I’ve been a student of Rob’s for three years now. He always has encouraged me in my drumming and has always helped me with difficult music. Rob also encourages my love for music and even if I wasn’t playing drums he would still be happy. Rob is an excellent teacher and an even better person.”
Tomas, age 16 – Drum set
“I enjoyed working with Rob because he is funny, kind, a great teacher, and fun.”
Payton, Age 9 – drum set
“I have been working with Mr. Rob for five years. I have enjoyed those five years for many reasons. One reason is that when I get frustrated and I say ‘I can’t do it,’ he brings me up and encourages me to keep trying until I succeed. Another reason is that he is very kind to me and is probably kind to every one of his students. One last reason I have enjoyed working with Mr. Rob is that he is an amazing drum player and I can trust him and that he knows what he is doing. Overall, Mr. Rob is a great drum teacher and I very much enjoyed my time with him.”
Jackson, age 13 – drum set and piano
“Rob is a great teacher to work with. If you’re looking for a teacher that you can have fun with, Rob is the best person to have. Over the past three years that I have had Rob as a teacher, I learned so much about drums and piano. When I played drums I was ecstatic to see him and learn to rock out. Piano was also fun because I could think of chords and funny lyrics to sing to the songs we were writing.”
Cooper, age 13 – drum set and piano
“I enjoyed playing drums with Rob because he always has a great attitude and never loses his cool. Another thing that I enjoy about playing drums with Rob is that he helps me when I am stuck, but won’t let me give up on what I am working on. Another thing that I enjoy is that he finds time in each lesson to talk about life and it is really easy to relate to him. Those are just some of the things that I enjoy about playing the drums with Rob.”
Lathyn, age 13 – drum set
“Working with Rob has helped me begin my music journey and I am super grateful for that!”
