“Piano lessons with Robin using the Simply Music methodology has been a family experience. We have enjoyed learning almost half a dozen songs and writing several compositions in the first three months. Having a common goal and activity has been a benefit for my two oldest children who hate having to learn to share, encourage, take suggestions, and triumph in each other’s successes. As well, it has been fun for me as I was not a successful piano student as a child… Getting frustrated and dropping out several times. We all look forward to our lessons with Robin!” – Kimberly, parent
“Piano lessons are great and lots of fun. Ms. Robin is a really good teacher.” – Carsten, age 9
“I like watching my sister play the piano. It sounds beautiful. She knows lots of songs.” – Megan, age 7, sibling
“The simply music method jump starts enthusiasm for the piano by quickly providing songs that kids can be excited to play.” – Scot, parent
Trevor, age 6 – “I can’t believe that I can play songs and I’m only in Kindergarten! Ms. Robin taught me how to play!”
“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 piano 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 have the opportunity to learn this way.” – Georgia, parent
“I highly recommend Simply Music to absolutely everyone! My daughter had been taking normal, traditional piano lessons for several semesters, when I heard a Simply Music student play the piano after only two months of lessons. I was astonished and amazed at the beautiful songs she was already playing! I could not believe my ears and was so impressed with the quality of songs she was playing. I asked for the name of her teacher, Robin Thorpe, and enrolled my daughter into the Simply Music program. The results were immediate, and my child is excited and thrilled to be using BOTH HANDS with every song! After 4 months of my daughter receiving wonderful lessons, I have decided to become a teacher of Simply Music. It is by far, the very best piano program available today. Nothing I have seen even comes close to the fantastic results and ease of learning how to play the piano. I want everyone to experience the joy that comes from Simply Music.” – Jennifer , parent and Simply Music Teacher!
“I just love Simply Music and Robin Thorpe. 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.” – Sandra, Adult Student
“Brittany has been taking piano lessons from “Miss Robin” for several months now. 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!” – Nancy, parent
“I had been taking traditional piano lessons for almost one year, and I was only playing with one hand. Then my mom switched me to Simply Music. I have only been taking for five months and I can play 15 songs! I love Simply Music!” – Rachel, age 9
Dear Mrs. Robin,
I think you are the best teacher because you have helped me improve so much with piano. I am really enjoying piano practice. You are so nice to me. You teach me step by step and it helps me learn a lot. It is a joy to have you as a teacher. Thank you so much for being a great teacher.
Your Student,
Jenna, age 9
