About Rob R.
5.0
(13)
I'm a professional bass player in Austin Texas, the Live Music Capital of the World. At one time or another I've played just about every style of music, and I have more than a decade of teaching experience. I love 'opening doors' for students, helping them understand how music works and how they can sound better than ever. I graduated from B.I.T. in Los Angeles and I have thousands of hours of teaching, gigging, and recording experience. I'll share that experience with you!

I started taking bass lessons from Rob to reintroduce myself to music after not touching an instrument in nearly 20 years. I just hit my 2-year lesson anniversary and see no end in sight. Over these last 2 years, he took me from how to hold my instrument, to notation, to composition, and to recording / music production. He not only teaches me about Bass, but teaches me everything that goes along with it, such as percussion/drums. We are also starting to branch out into keyboards & synths which is super exciting.
I cannot recommend a better teacher. I feel privileged to be his student, and I have made a great friend along the way.

Rob is great! In our short 30 minutes sessions, he taught me a lot. I always learned more each lesson. I look forward to more with him.

I have been taking biweekly lessons with Rob for about 6 months. I purchased a bass and started lessons within 2 weeks. I went from not knowing how to properly pluck the strings to music notation and composing pieces on my own in these last 6 months. No way you can go wrong with Rob. Very skilled and patient teacher (and bassist!).
