“Rob does an excellent job keeping kids engaged and meeting them where they are.”
Our 7-year-old has been learning drums with Rob for over a year — first in his group Drum Club, and now in 1:1 private lessons. Both experiences have been fantastic. Rob not only teaches drums but weaves in music theory and other learning as it fits our child’s needs. Highly recommended!
