About Me

Hi, I am Robert; a passionate, versatile, audio professional that cannot wait to share the secrets, marvels, and wonders of music making with you! I have been a lifelong musician, vocalist, and audiophile. As far back as my youth, I relished the communal spirit of music; sure, making music alone is wonderful and good, but making music with others, now that is transcendent! That passion has blossomed into what some might call an obsession. I studied music education, instrument methods, classical voice, music performance, and vocal pedagogy at Illinois State University, whence I received a BA in vocal music performance. Since then, I focused my efforts on expanding the scope of my appreciation of music and pushing the boundaries of my musical practice. Through my travels, I have collected a miasma of bizarre and exotic musical instruments (a Japanese koto, a Chinese dizi, a West African gankogui, an Australian didgeridoo, and a Polynesian nose flute to name but a few) in an effort to learn, appreciate, and incorporate global musical culture into my personal practice, composition, performance, and life. When I am not writing, playing, or performing music, I teach. I love nothing more than connecting with fellow musicians and helping them along their musical journey. My lessons are individually tailored to the goals and skill level of my students, with the intention of not only improving their musical proficiency, but increasing their performance confidence, and augmenting their practice. Armed with a degree in music performance, a low latency audio interface, a digital audio workstation, and an array of instruments and mics, I charge into the sonic fray of the audio arts; will you join me?

Piano Lessons - all ages and levels - Classical music, pop/rock, etc. - with Piano Master's graduated teacher
Hello! I am a 29 years old classical pianist with a Master's degree at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag. I have taught Piano (and also Music Education) since 2016, to both children and adults. Teaching allows me to bring my passion and enthusiasm for music to the students, and I also find it incredibly rewarding to guide and follow their musical and technical development! I am easily adaptable to the student's musical tastes and expectations/goals in music learning, and I am also very mindful of how I communicate, according to the students' ages and personalities. I can teach classical music, pop, rock, or any other style. My approach consists of giving you the necessary theoretical knowledge for what you wish to play; involving you actively in the choice of the pieces/songs you will play; setting up a long-term plan for your repertoire, so that your development is made step by step in a challenging - but achievable - way (and this way, you will feel more motivated!); giving you enjoyable and creative practicing strategies; creating rich imagery revolving around the piece - by making up a story, relating the music to emotions, etc.; and also positive feedback! Thus, my lessons will allow you to: - Learn how to read scores. -Develop your musical understanding (from notes, rhythm, and harmony, to musical taste, and emotional comprehension of the music, or dive into aesthetic principles concerning the period and style of the piece,...). -Improve, step by step, until you are able to play that piece/song that you love. -Prepare yourself for exams. -Etc. Furthermore, I organize Students' Concerts, giving you the chance to play in a fantastic grand piano, and sharing with others all the work you've done! The best thing is that it's possible for you to learn all this and have fun at the same time! Any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
