About Robert
Born in South Africa and raised in Oxford, UK, I began my career as a professional touring and recording musician at the age of sixteen. A member of the band Stornoway, I have had the incredible privilege of touring the world and playing some of its most renowned stages, performing live on the UK’s biggest music television program, “Later...with Jools Holland”, alongside Jay Z, Foo Fighters, Norah Jones, and Sting, recording live sessions in the infamous Abbey Road studios for mainstream BBC Radio programs, being interviewed by top music journalists as well as performing on some of the BBC’s main prime-time radio and television political programs including Andrew Marr’s talk-show, and receiving a silver record from BMI for record sales - all before the age of 25. Now based in New York, I provide world-class Music and Academic coaching and mentorship to a diverse range of students.

English
I approach every lesson with every student with a focus on patience, empathy, dedication to excellence for myself and my student, and a big dose of fun! For younger students and for beginners, I spend a good amount of time on laying out the basics of the instrument, the foundational techniques of playing, basic music theory, and discussions that allow the student to tell me what influences them and what they most want to achieve in music. Once the student has progressed to an intermediate level, I like to start introducing more advanced music theory and musical references to enable the student to start finding their own unique style. For advanced students, our focus is on perfecting playing technique and style, as well as continuing to expand our knowledge of music as an art form and an industry, and I speak with my students about the ways that they can use their talent beyond home, school, and the local gig venue.

Robert's passion for music is contagious, and he goes above and beyond to foster a love for music in his students.
If you are looking for a music tutor who will inspire and guide you on your musical journey, Robert is the perfect choice. He has had a profound impact on my musical development, and I am confident that he will do the same for anyone fortunate enough to study with him!Robert taught me Drums, Piano, and Guitar for 3 years in both private lessons and in group lessons at my college. In the time I have known him, he has demonstrated kindness in his character, with respect toward all people. He brings with him, to both low- and high-pressure situations, a sense of calm and ease, and he is able to adapt his communication style to meet the needs of different contexts and people, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, etc. On countless occasions, I have seen him demonstrate empathic responses to those with troubles or obstacles. It seems to come as second nature to him, as he is an all-around “stand up guy.”
