Overview:
I've been playing keyboards since the age of ten. I graduated from Arizona State University where I studied music theory and composition. I have a special passion for composing music, and finished 3rd place nationally in the Music Teacher's National Composition Competition in 1987. As a professional musician, I've toured with The Fortunes, and performed with The Coasters and Ritchie Havens. I have just completed my third CD, titled Jazzed Up. I enjoy performing and teaching all styles of music including, classical, jazz, and pop, and love sharing my passion of music with my students. I believe that music instruction should not only be educational, but also enjoyable, exciting and rewarding.
EXPERIENCE
Ive been teaching professionally for over 35 years. I'm able to teach a variety of music styles, including: Classical Jazz and Pop. I am comfortable working with students of every age, and work especially well with younger students. I think it's very important to maintain a personal and professional relationship with my students, because it makes the learning process more rewarding and benificial. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as composing their own orginal music.
METHODS USED
For beginning students, I prefer the Alfred Piano Method, in my opinion, it's a very thorough course, and offers many benefits for the beginning student. for my intermediate and advanced students, I use a variety of teaching materials, depending on the style of muisc I'm teaching, inciluding music books, videos, and audio recordings. I try to find out what my students are interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter what their ability level is.
LESSON STYLE
I believe that music instruction should not only be educational, but also enjoyable, exciting and rewarding. I encourage my students to practice on a regular basis, because it helps the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. by trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.

Maurice Romero
This is the 1st time I've ever taken lessons, and Robert ha been a pleasure to work with. I've made quick progress and have enjoyed the process. I'm always listening for those tips that you can't find in a book. I can count on Robert to be strict on the fundamentals and am clear it will make a difference in the long run.
