Robin is an excellent guitar tutor for my son, he works with the person as an individual to tailor the learning to their needs and personality.

Great teacher

Robin is extremely patient and calm with his teaching methods to my son, who can be quite anxious. Robin has helped him build his confidence in his ability to learn to play the piano, and read music as a complete beginner. His progress since he began his lessons with Robin is incredible to see, and this is testament to Robin and his positive teaching style.

Robin's lessons are very thought provoking and make you appreciate wider aspects of musical learning.

Very good teacher with individual approach for each student. With this teacher, it's never too late or too early to learn to play an instrument. I think he is very supportive of his students.

Highly recommended teacher. His love for music is evident in his enthusiastic teaching techniques. He is exceedingly patient with students, encourages them and coaxes the best effort from everyone. He knows how to work with kids with challenging behaviour and uses different techniques to help the child concentrate. Robin Thornton is an outstanding music teacher, and his prices are reasonable.

Robin is very obliging and approachable, he is always flexible when it comes to the inevitable diary clashes.Lessons were initially focussed as a beginner in Nat 5 Music with Guitar. Since then and with successful exams behind us lessons continue, a great relationship makes for ideal learning and having the option of face to face or on-line lessons works well for us.

Robin is wonderful with my daughter, he is completely child led and as such doesn?t just teach her the piano but nurture her love of music in general. This means she is gaining a broader experience in music than just the instrument she is learning to play. He is patient and treats her like an equal at all times, taking time to try an alternative way if she doesn?t understand something first time. The true test is that my daughter looks forward to her lessons every week and leaves with new ideas and skills.

I have been with Robin now for over 2 years. I came as an adult learner wanting to reconnect with the piano of my childhood. I found so much more. Robin - in his own inimitable way - opened up a whole musical world.Lessons are not just about playing the right keys with the right fingers, but also about why those particular keys are the ones to play. As I attempt to read the music he has helped me to see past what can sometimes be a lot of scary black dots on the page. He has helped me to see the beauty of what those dots represent.I have fallen in love with music and with my piano. It has brought joy to my life - even in the middle of COVID!Robin has great knowledge about his subject and, just as importantly, great passion. He frequently tells me with a smile that he is not done learning. I?m glad to be on a learning path with him!

My son has been having drum lessons with Robin for the past 4 months. Robin has a deep passion for music which he shares with his students. He treats each student as an individual and uses their strengths and interests to teach and keep them motivated. All mistakes are learning experiences and my son has made amazing progress with Robin as his teacher. Would highly recommend.

Robin has been teaching my son for a number of months now and he is a patient and professional teacher. He works with my son and adapts the lesson to get the best out of him. It is definitely a holistic approach to teaching music, not just the specific instrument. We would highly recommend Robin.

We like Robin's approach to teaching, rather than just focusing on the pieces for the grade exams his lessons have a wide range of topics that leads to a broader understanding of music. We like that the teaching is about music not rote learning. Our children remain engaged and enjoy their lessons.
