Guitar concepts taught by Paula
The student and tutor worked on learning the piano piece "Balloons," focusing on hand coordination, note recognition, and singing the lyrics. They then introduced the concept of playing musical "thirds" by skipping notes, and the student practiced identifying and playing these intervals. The session will continue with this piece and the concept of thirds in the next class.

Robinson electric guitar lessons at Fordham reignited my passion for playing. Her focus on rock riffs and rhythm playing reminded me how much i loved music and guitar.

This has been an amazing journey of learning. Robinson doesn't just show me how to play; they also explain why specific techniques are effective. I'm from Old farm and having a teacher like them here is a blessing. Their emotional phrasing technique helped me with my solos.

In Hamilton Proper, Robinson worked with a 13-year-old guitarist, helping her progress from basic strumming to shredding solos. Thanks to Robinson ’s speed drills and scale practice, the student now plays metal solos with precision.

With her infectious energy in downtown, Robinson creates a warm and engaging atmosphere in every lesson. My child picked up strumming, capo techniques, and dynamics while learning popular songs.
