Piano with Robert K.

I am a Board-Certified Music Therapist with over twenty years of Therapy and Teaching experience. I am a DePaul University Music graduate and studied Classical Guitar with Richard Pick. I enjoy working with beginning and challenging students and love singing and playing guitar. *** Lesson Details *** You or your child can expect to be reading music after 3 months, expect to be able to strum some basic guitar chords, and notice some positive improvements in playing and singing with guitar or piano within weeks. As a Music Therapist I realize the importance of a positive learning experience that is non-stressful. In other words Music is FUN ! I realize that all students learn at different rates but it is important to feel progress in our musical journey. Being able to express ourselves is a human need and through improvisation in music we can tap into our creative selves. *** Travel Equipment *** Guitars, amplifiers rhythm instruments, (drums, shakers, etc.,) portable 4-track recorder, karaoke CDs, Music. Students should be able to provide their own instrument, method book, commitment and desire to learn. *** Specialties *** Blues & improvisational guitar.
