Robin leaves me so much space to be myself. She is very encouraging. She won’t let me NOT believe in my abilities. I believe teaching comes naturally to her and her inclusive approach (meeting me exactly where I am) frees me up to go into those vulnerable places that singing and learning a new instrument can take us. She also naturally encourages my creativity. Sometimes she won’t accept no as the answer, she will persist: in this case it works. :) Singing with Robin has opened me up to new horizons of expression that I am not sure how I ever got along before without. She puts an instrument in my hands and gives me the tools to want to understand it more by sharing her her passion for it with me. She helps me feel comfortable with the idea of “performing” something I may not even know well yet....and this practice of “performing” it with her gives me more confidence and skill...it is part of the foundation. Robin is very serious about the process and yet a lesson at the kitchen table (figuratively or literally) can feel as welcoming and as simple as sipping tea together. Finding the right teacher can take time or a miracle. I believe my learning from Robin to be the latter.

I have been taking lessons from Robin for 5 years.She is my 3rd teacher.I picked her when I was ready to quit playing.It was my my last ditch effort after lessons and the internet.

When my wife I set up a lesson with her and my wife asked me if I would ask her if there was a prayer that I would ever learn to play before we started lessons.

I sent an email and asked her.

1 minute later she responded,Where there is breath there is hope.

When I started I thought I would give it a month,but she had confidence in me when I did not.We still work together.

I was a teacher for 2 years and Robin goes where you are.She makes lessons fun and funny.She is self deprecating when she does not have to be.I have referred many people to her.She is great in person and great online.

She teaches more than guitar,she makes me a better person.

Robin is a true professional and a wonderful teacher. She works well with all ages and levels of ability. She is a fun teacher patient and compassionate. I recommend her both professionally and personally.
