Marco discussed with me how he would do this, and I showed him all the issues I would like to have corrected. He completed the work within the time frame he quoted and shipped the bow to my home in Durango CO. I am highly impressed with his craftmanship. The bow is now in like new condition and is a joy to play on each of my fine violins. I feel lucky to have entrusted my bow to Marco and highly recommend Robertson and Sons for any services a serious string player requires. David Adolphson, Sep 15, 2025

He teaches both bass and acoustic guitars and does either 30 minute or 45 minute lessons weekly. He teaches all ages, not just children.

Jay is a great instructor. I'm an older student and not necessarily the most gifted but I can tell…read morethat I'm improving with his help. I've had other music teachers and they can make you feel like a benighted orphan struggling for acceptance at the hands of an all-knowing master. How many times do you want to hear 'NO!'? Jay's not like that. Jay has the chops and he lets you learn in your own best way. I'm not super interested in learning lots of classic songs but I really dig learning about theory and song structures. He always fits the lesson to my interests in a way that is still challenging. I think music instruction is a really underappreciated skill and Jay deserves recognition for the way he helps us learners down the road. On a practical level I'll finish by saying that it's always a straightforward affair with regards to payment and scheduling. He's very professional in that regard as well.

Was wonderful with my niece who was in a super-difficult phase of her childhood and I credit him with her continuing appreciation for really cool music. If I were to take piano lessons again as an adult, I'd definitely go to Mark because he has such a deep love and understanding of music, I think he'd know how to adapt his teaching methods to any level of ability and maturity, and he's just so smart.

You won't hear many parents make these kinds of statements, but I'm willing to go out on a limb, here, and say that while she's not a Prodigy, perhaps, she's far more capable than, say, your kid. It's not like we had her tested, or something, we're just objective observers, sitting at the same recitals you are, looking at the crop of 'em, listening to their pathetic attempts to make their cellos sing. It's pretty obvious, isn't it? All of her teachers say it, too. She's exceptional. So you can trust this review. Our exceptional kid has enjoyed her experience at this school, and we're glad they're grooming her for Julliard. The building made some ventilation updates during the second half of 2020 to mellow our COVID concerns, too. Our main issue is the billing process. We pay a fixed, monthly charge for instruction, yet for any number of reasons, during any month, her class time can be cut in half -- think school break periods, holidays, that sort of thing. It's super inconsistent. Paying per class is simply a smarter way to go. We like smarter. We raised it.

He got me thinking about and playing different Ukes so I could see the differences. I've only been playing for a couple of years, and he was super friendly, encouraging, and I never felt any pressure to buy something there and now. He truly wants you to find what may be best for you. Meanwhile he did some great service on the one I brought, put some new strings on, adjusted the fret heights, and got it sounding a lot better. Thank you so much Andy and hopefully will be back soon.
