Robbie is a great teacher who is capable of teaching many different styles of guitar playing. He helped me start out as a beginner by teaching me my favorite rock songs and showing me useful practice techniques. He also exposed me to other styles of music such as blues and classical, and organized group lessons so I could get experience practicing with other musicians. When I joined the jazz band at my high school with little experience, he quickly caught me up to speed. When I began to grow interested in other instruments such as drums and bass, he was able to help teach me those as well. Robbie also helped me gain experience performing by inviting me to play in recitals, and most notably, a paid gig playing Latin music on state street with experienced musicians.
