"Robert is chill." This was said by an 11yo student, whose mom happens to be one of the premier music educators in the country!

I’m watching the video and following your commentary (I printed it out). I’ve had to stop the video several times because of tears in my eyes and I need a moment to process. Sometimes I get so focused what I’m doing as a teacher that I don’t remember to get caught up in the moment of making music. I love watching you work with your students. Thanks for the inspiration.” ~~ commented after watching the “MLT-informed large group piano class” video

I learned a great deal about music and myself from my last lesson. You are truly stretching my musical understanding and skills, which is just what this doctor ordered. As I have stated in the past, your students are quite blessed to have you as a teacher.

If only I had a teacher like Robert when I was learning piano. I would still be playing.

I strongly recommend Robert to you. I have worked with him as a church musician and have been impressed with his dedication to sacred music and his very high level of technique and musicianship. God has used his exceptional ability, passion, talent and gifts to touch the lives of God’s people. I can highly recommend him as a piano teacher. I am impressed by his patience and creativity in the way that he works with my son and seeks to reach all his students to share his passion for music.

Robert is a phenomenal teacher. He approaches his students individually, taking the time to explore and determine how they learn. He then creatively adapts his teaching style to fit the student, and get results. And, you should see him play!

Thanks for giving William such a positive first exposure to music! … He’s really enjoyed it and he talks frequently about the songs he’s been learning.

Thank you for inspiring H. with her piano interests this year. It’s so fun to sit back and watch her grow. We appreciate all you have done for her!

Thank you so much for being my piano teacher. You have been an inspiration to me with your caring, funny, and encouraging spirit. I will keep in mind what you have taught me as I continue to practice. Your passion for music encourages me to pursue my dreams whether in piano or out.

I thought you might want to know that K. is REALLY enjoying the piano this year. I believe the music and talent she is entertaining us with today is largely from the time you spent with her over the past few years…. I know it would have been so much easier and less stressful to give up on her. I really appreciate all the time and energy you put into developing her skills.

Please relay my gratitude, appreciation and thanks to Bob…for the great job he did on Saturday. It was indeed a very impressive display of musicianship and courage.
