Name: | Alicia | Title: | Mother of 2 students | Testimonial: | “The Simply Music method is a unique way to learn to play the piano! The kids quickly learn a repertoire of songs that enables them to sit at the piano and play for enjoyment, not just to practice. By encouraging students to compose their own pieces, the students learn from the very beginning that piano is a way to express themselves and can be an outlet for emotions.
Ms. Robin integrates lots of different activities during each class which keeps the students interested and engaged.”

Name: | Georgia | Title: | Son and Daughter are both students | Testimonial: | "About 8 months ago, as my Husband and I were shopping for a piano, we had the good fortune to meet Robin as she was giving a Simply Music lesson. If we hadn't met Robin on that day, our children were destined for traditional piano lessons. Fortunately, Robin had room for two more students and we started lessons. From the very beginning the children were taught to play with both hands. Eight months later, they have a long list of complex songs that they play with both hands and without the need to look at "sheet music". Additionally, as part of the program, both children have composed several original pieces, including lyrics! Their songs are hilarious. When they are in class Robin teaches music theory in such a way that the children don't even realize they are learning. Everything they do is incorporated into a fun and interactive environment. My one warning to anyone entering a Simply Music lesson: Leave all experience and thoughts based on traditional piano lessons at home! Simply Music is an incredible program and I feel very blessed that my children get to learn this way."

Name: | Nancy | Title: | Brittany loves her time with Robin | Testimonial: | “Brittany has been taking piano lessons from “Miss Robin” for several months now and is working in her Level 3 book. Brittany loves her time with Robin and enjoys learning new pieces. Robin is very patient and motivating for Brittany. She has a very unique way of getting our little gal, who has difficulty focusing very long, to focus on her music and learn it. We’d recommend Robin to you or your children. She’s very talented as a teacher!”

Name: | Sandra | Title: | I just LOVE Simply Music and Robin Thorpe | Testimonial: | "I just love "Simply Music" and Robin Thorpe. With the "Simply Music" method and Robin's ability and knowledge in music and PATIENCE, with an old woman, has helped me with my desire of always wanting to play the piano. I am probably Robin's oldest student, and I can also tell you that you are never too old to start taking lessons. You learn to play a song the very first day. I know I will never be a concert pianist; however no one can take away the self satisfaction that I have when I sit down at my piano to practice. You really do want to practice. I encourage everyone that has ever had the desire to play the piano to call Robin. She's Great."
