About Robin
My name is Robin and I have been playing fretted instruments including the mandolin, tenor banjo and Irish bouzouki for the last 20 years. I currently work as a full-time musician in the The Trials of Cato, where I alternate between various instruments. I also sing and contribute songs for the band. We were recently described as 'one of the real discoveries on the folk circuit in recent times' by BBC 2's Mark Radcliffe and our debut release won 'Best Album' at the 2019 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. I offer instruction in various styles including Celtic, bluegrass, blues, country, klezmer and Balkan music. If you would like to listen and get a feel for the type of music I play, please check out the following links: Mandolin: (concealed information) Irish bouzouki: (concealed information) Tenor Banjo: (concealed information)

My approach towards tuition is primarily focused on the personal goals and aims of the student and, most importantly, their enjoyment of playing music. I don't believe that learning a musical instrument should be an exercise in torture, but rather an exciting journey which equips you with the tools to play the music you want to play! So, if you want to learn how to play Irish jigs and reels for your local session, that's what we will focus on. If you want to learn chords, rhythms and picking patterns to accompany yourself while singing your favourite folk songs, that's what we'll do. Or if you just want to learn how to play but have no idea of what direction to take, we can figure that out together whilst learning the fundamental skills you need to express yourself on your chosen instrument. I am not a purist and I believe that music is one of the greatest pleasures in life - let's keep it fun and enjoy the journey together!

Perfect! Very well prepared, easy going and patient! Really enjoyed my first lesson with Robin.
Perfect! Robin is great tutor, I've been having Mandolin lessons with him for about 3 months now and my playing and technique has come on massively! He's clear and patient with his teaching and the lessons have really given me a new passion for learning music. Couldn't recommend him enough.

Robin is a great teacher for the tenor banjo. He is good at honing in on fundamental issues with playing technique to correct or prevent bad habits. Since starting lessons with Robin my banjo playing has improved significantly.
I've been having online tenor banjo lessons with Robin for over a year and he's an excellent teacher, patient and knowledgeable. He's been carefully walking me through the basics of Irish folk tune types and proper banjo technique over Zoom, and in between lessons he's sent me short videos to help with my practice. I'm really pleased with the progress I've made; cheers Robin!
Robin is a very accomplished musician with a real enthusiasm for encouraging his pupils. He is patient and endlessly positive in teaching and provides recap and reinforcement videos after lessons which are absolutely invaluable. I'm happy to unreservedly recommended his service.
I have been a student with Robin for two years and I still am. Robin is a great teacher and musician. He is attentive to a students need and works at a pace to suit the student. Robin can teach at any level and in my time with him my musical knowledge has improved in a big way. Robin is very supportive in a way that gets the best out of me and I highly recommended him.
Robin is the kindest, most helpful teacher I could have wished for. He's focused my attention on developing skills and theory, but also kept playing fun with lots of tunes, including a whole bag of ornamentation and style ideas, and also helped me with technique to avoid physical stress. And the tunes he suggests are really good too.
Had one lesson so far with Robin,very satisfied, great lesson backed up with a recap video.
Highly recommend RobinI've been learning Mandolin and Bouzouki with Robin for over a year. He's professional, friendly and an all-round great tutor. I definitely wouldn't have come as far as I have with my playing without him.
