Music is my passion. I will do my best to teach what I do best. Most of all, I am a people person. I am gifted with the ability to quickly evaluate a student's level of comprehension so I can appropriately deliver the knowledge to each individual. I have been involved with music my entire life. I have collaborated and performed with many household names in the industry that you may have listened to! Although I am networking quickly in the industry, I treat each lesson with patience and professionalism. I also offer the option of giving each student the opportunity to create their very own demo recording to show family and friends. As the instructor, I am constantly learning new things about music from my students. Let's learn together!!!

Robert's exemplary and diverse career all began when he was a very small boy. His magical, musical journey began with his Grandfather, Donald Mcullick, a country singer/guitarist, who spent the 1950's touring and performing with blockbuster artists such as Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison. Grandpa would take his young protégé out to the swing under the apple tree in the backyard and show him songs on an old acoustic guitar. He would later give that guitar to Robert. That guitar was the key to the music box of Robert's life. A life long dedicated to the art and craft of music.

Robert's high school years were very non-traditional. While most students spent time at football games and pep rallies, Robert spent his time performing in pit orchestras and composing for local theater companies. His extensive theater credits include work with the Hampton Playhouse, the Portsmouth Academy of Performing Arts, the Seacoast Reparatory Company and the Portland Stage Company. Robert...

I have been a professional bassist for the the past eight years. I am a recent graduate of Berklee College of Music with a BA in bass performance. I have shared the stage with such names as J. Geils, Allison Krauss, James Montgomery, Mike Tucker, The Low Anthem, Mulatu Astatke, Grace Kelly, Sierra Hull and more. I have also been a faculty member of Salem State University's summer jazz program for the past 3 years. I have worked with students of all ages and levels of proficiency. With my education and experience I can offer you a great knowledge of music, theory and performance wise.

My love for the piano started at a very young age, I was 5y when I had my first lesson and even though my mom thought my hands were too small to play piano, it didn't take me long to prove her wrong. I was classically trained through college, but the lessons you will receive from me are created specifically for you. Maybe you love Beethoven, or maybe you would rather play the Beetles. Perhaps Lady Gaga is your style, or Jazz is a favorite of yours. With your goals in mind, I create lessons that you will love to learn. As I continue to deepen my understanding of sonic expression, I will take you on a musical journey you might never forget.

I am excited to have the opportunity of submitting myself as a music instructor for Take Lessons. I am delighted at the prospect of becoming a teacher and mentor to aspiring musicians and believe I can contribute unique ideas, energy, and enthusiasm to our lessons. In addition to being a qualified applicant with a background in music education, and communications, I also possess extensive experience with music performance, and studio technology. Most recently, my job as an Intensive Learning Program Instructional Assistant has given me an in-depth perspective in connecting with children who have unique academic, behavioral, social, and emotional needs.

As a Berklee College of Music contemporary writing and production graduate, Ithaca College communications graduate, and educator of Apple technology, it is my intention to bridge the gap between what young aspiring minds want to know with what they need to know. While traditional goals of enrichment, inspiration, and...
