Teaching

ellysesandrobert-10Robert has been teaching for most of his career as a musician. He is the guitar instructor at Gordon College in Wenham, MA and at Milton Academy. Robert also teacher private students and group classes at the Walter Baker Building. One other aspect of his didactic endeavors is the New England Guitar Orchestra.

“Learning a musical instrument holds the promise of a life-time of fulfillment. But maybe equally important, it connects us to our past. After all, we stand on the shoulders of giants and the music we hear today often reflects that as well ( yes, also jazz and pop music.) It doesn’t really matter what age you are, although the benefits are likely greater when starting young. I teach all styles and all ages.”

Individual lessons for one semester (12 lessons) 
     One hour lessons, total: $ 960.- 
     Three-quarter hour lessons, total: $ 780.-
     Half hour lessons, total: $ 660.-

Single lessons: $100/hr
Group lessons: $35/hr/person (only available with enough interest)

Bi-weekly lessons are possible. The cost for such lessons will be calculated as follows: For a bi-weekly one-hour lesson, a student will need to choose weekly half hour lessons and combine those into one hour every two weeks. For bi-weekly 1.5 hour lessons, the student will need to sign up for weekly3/4 lessons and combine those. The same applies for a 2-hour lesson.

Registration Fee
There is a one-time non-refundable registration fee of $50. Students from the same family pay one registration fee.

The best way to find out if Robert can help you with your personal goals is to make an appointment and have a trial lesson.


“Robert is an experienced teacher who has taught every possible style and level of guitar, from children to adults. He is also a terrific team member, combines brilliantly with others and always brings out the best in the people who work with him.”

Eliot Fisk, New England Conservatory

“Robert is a true expert who makes other teachers look like amateurs. His knowledge and talent as a musician have continued to amaze and inspire me during his lessons for over eight years. During that time, Robert has become a personal friend of mine whom I value greatly.”

Onno de Haan, Hoofddorp
