Testimonials
Here are a few words from past students that have enjoyed working with me:
"My son is 19 years old, diagnosed with Autism, intellectual delay, ADHD and Tourette's. It has been very difficult to find him activities that he likes and that he is willing to engage in, much less learn. The very nature of his disability warrants a person who will not stay focused for long periods of time or engage or retain the material. Yet, Bob is able to accomplish that with my son. For years, i had no idea what my son liked to do, what gave his life meaning and purpose but now I know. Bob is patient, caring, compassionate and understanding. He speaks to my son, not at my son and treats him with respect and dignity. And my son has thrived under Bob's tutelage. He loves the piano. He can read the musical notes all on his own and plays it so well. Bob has given my son a sense of pride and accomplishment. I am so grateful that i found Bob and he has been teaching my son for many years and my son adores him immensely. I would recommend any parent who is wondering if music is the way to go with their special needs individual to really reach out to Bob and they will absolutely be amazed at the difference his teaching will make in the lives of the person they care about. Thank you
Be well !!!
