Primrose Piano Instruction

Offers online services

About

I provide beginner, intermediate, and advanced instruction in various styles: contemporary, classical, rock, blues, boogie woogie, and ragtime, etc. I have had great success with students who have become tired of traditional methods and are looking for more practical application. Music theory focusing on blues, country, rock, and contemporary is incorporated in my instruction. Internet is used as an adjunct. Children age ten to adult.

I love the piano and enjoy sharing my 50 years of personal and professional experience with others. I am a Berklee College of Music Alumni and have decades a professional playing experience. I am also degreed in Behavioral Psychology. Online lessons are available on request.

I have been taking lessons from Mr. Primrose for quite a few months now and the learning experience has been nothing but driving and enjoyable. He is very flexible and accommodating as an individual. As an instructor he understands the troubling points of a new learner and helps deal with the frustration that might occur when learning becomes a little difficult. All in all he is a great teacher and has made virtual lessons very easy as well. Highly recommend Mr. Primrose for any level of piano/keyboard enthusiasts who wants to learn something new or even just jam.

Rob was my son Tyler’s piano teacher. I switched him to Rob when Tyler lost interest and was not enjoying his traditional lessons anymore. Rob engaged him with different styles and made it fun. Tyler is now a young adult and has been touring and playing professionally all over the country. Rob continues to connect and be a mentor to Tyler. I credit much of Tyler’s success and live of music to Rob.
