Rob started playing the piano at age 6 and has never stopped. To Rob learning the piano is the gateway to the world of music. Playing piano should be a pleasure and a means of expression, relaxation, and performance and so often piano is the basis for the learning of other musical instruments. It is a privilege and pleasure to enable students to learn the piano.
