Rob is the most patient teacher with my super active child. He is able make their lessons fun, engaging, and challenging — and can even redirect my son when he’s not paying full attention! Rob is very knowledgeable and always positive.

Rob is wonderful, truly. Our daughter took to him the first she saw him. He has the ability to read our daughter’s needs with the skill of an experienced early childhood music teacher. He knows when to request she works and when to allow play, allowing her to progress with an easy flow. Rob’s learning tools are also very engaging and keep our daughter’s interest peaked for more, even when her young mind starts to wander.

My son loves learning in the unique environment the New York City Guitar school provides and has thrived with Rob’s disciplined and caring instruction. Rob is adept at keeping the lessons engaging for young children and his dedication to the teaching process is apparent during every lesson.
