ROB MCCULLOUGH MUSIC
As a teacher and a mentor, Rob is fully committed to each of his students. He wants them to enjoy the learning experience, while making progress from lesson to lesson. Whether a beginner or an advanced musician, he enjoys watching his students develop and succeed with each lesson and interaction. By using several different tools, depending on age and current skill level, lessons are never boring or dull. At the completion of each lesson, the student will have at least three major "takeaways". In this way, students leave with a keen sense of satisfaction that they have learned something new. Assuming equal dedication to the practice and performance of their lessons, students can progress at an accelerated rate. Finally, this may even lead to the expression and creation of their own music and songs. If the student aspires to this, our studio offers yet more ways for the student to expand their talent with recording and production training. See more details in each of the three categories below.
GUITAR LESSONS
acoustic | electric
Rob will customize the student’s lessons, based on their favorite genres; rock, metal, country, acoustic/folk, funk, R&B, or jazz. For advanced guitar players, we will use significant music theory and scale modalities - Ionian, Dorian, Fregean, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian; pentatonic, diminished, and double diminished scales with chromatic alterations.
We will use both picking and finger picking, as required for each genre. Backing tracks may be utilized to match the appropriate genre.
VOICE LESSONS

Rob's voice students range from the beginning vocalist to well advanced singers. His goal for every student, is to produce the most impactful presentation of his/her voice. He will work with the student to create a custom menu of songs and vocal exercises.
