ROB'S TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Each student needs to learn at his or her own pace.  Course material should be decided by both the Instructor and Student.

We don't use any method books.  You learn what you need to, when you need to.  Any printed material will be supplied by Rob.

Lessons should be performance oriented.  The goal is to improve overall performance, including interacting with other musicians and performing on stage.  Our ultimate goal is to get every student into a new band or orchestra.

Wherever possible,  popular songs are substituted for drills, making practice more palatable.
