The Student and Tutor focused on guitar techniques, practicing strumming patterns, picking exercises across different chords (D, A, E minor), and incorporating a bar for slides. They also worked on fundamental finger techniques such as pull-offs and hammer-ons to build strength and coordination. The session concluded with an introduction to power chords and a plan to review the song "Eye of the Tiger" in the next class, possibly incorporating power chords.

The Tutor and Student practiced various guitar chords for the song "Midnight Sun," including E minor, an adapted B minor, D, and A. The Student worked on strumming patterns and transitions between these chords, expressing a preference for playing the harmony over the melody. For the next session, the Tutor plans to find an acoustic version of the song to better illustrate chord changes.

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.
