I usually take my students through the Suzuki books. In my opinion the classical method is the best way for new students to learn technique and the attention to detail that the violin or viola requires.  When the student is ready I also am very comfortable going outside classical music with them and working on improvising or fiddle or rock or whatever as well.

I started playing violin at 3 years old.  Wichita State University gave me the opportunity to get my Music Ed degree and start teaching lessons.  I have taken over 500 lessons myself and played in many heavy gigging bands playing gigs almost every weekend.  Improvising, Country, Jazz, and Rock are my specialties but I have played lots of Blues, Funk, and Latin jazz as well.

Make sure you contact me about scheduling.  I have other students and a job that sometimes changes week to week.  I may have other times available. Let me know.

Be warned! Rob is unprofessional and rude. He ignored emails for over a week then fired my daughter before ever meeting her because I didn't answer his phone call at work when he finally decided to reach out. I had already paid and he refused to provide services or refund telling me "good luck." F MINUS!

Initially I was a complete beginner. I've been studying with Rob for a couple of months now.  I think I'm making good progress and certainly a lot of that is Rob's doing. Very personable and flexible, he's really taught me a lot and is really good at teaching in a way that has me progressing steadily and not being overwhelmed by such a challenging instrument.

great first lesson. Personable and informative.

Identified many of my errors right away, has given instruction on how to correct. Have noticed definite improvement each week, and  given new skills each week to practice .(I'm not likely to pass this pattern in the near future!)

Rob's passion for music is evident in his teaching. He is very professional and an excellent violin instructor. I can tell he truly wants his students to succeed. He is very patient and teaches in a way that is fun and involved. Very highly recommended.

Rob is a great violin teacher. He is very competent and knows how to break the steps down to help our 6-year old learn this complex instrument. We are excited to see her learn and grow!

Rob is a great teacher. Highly recommended.

Mr. Foster is thorough.  He understands the difficulties beginning students face and he has a nice way of helping you to work through them.
