Robert is amazing. He came recommended from a friend, and I could not be more grateful. Our lessons are so interesting because we address the technical aspect of things, but he always infuses these really interesting insights about music, memory, and engaging with both of these. He makes practicing guitar an experience, and not a task. It hasn't been easy to pick up guitar playing as an adult, and Robert always, 100% of the time, hears me out if I'm running into a problem or am getting frustrated. He takes the info and, basically on the spot, comes up with really creative ways to support me. It's incredibly clear how individualized his lessons are, and how tailored they are to each student. I very truly could not recommend California Virtual Guitar Academy more highly; my only complaint is that we could only select three items that we, as students, appreciate about working with the Academy. There's so much more that could be said.

Absolutely fantastic guitar teacher! My 11-year-old son has learned so much, and it’s clear he enjoys every lesson. Robert is patient, encouraging, and tailors each session to keep things fun and engaging. He not only teaches technique but also inspires a love for music. We couldn’t be happier!

Robert rules. I couldn’t ask for a better instructor. He is extremely responsive and professional, and increased my confidence playing guitar substantially (a full grown adult man!). I definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a guitar instructor for yourself or a loved one.

Robert is one of the gentlest and kindest teachers I have ever worked with. I love learning from him and it's so nice to work with a teacher who feels like they are really "with you." When you are around Robert you can just feel how present he is with his students and how much he cares. I feel so encouraged when I'm learning from Robert and feel very hopeful for my growth with guitar! Thank you Robert :)
