BIO

Hi I'm Ms Robin,

I will be retiring in June 2025, please see Kara Petterson in Cochrane for available class times.

Great Music, Theatre and Literature were the most valued treasures in our home when I was young.  My childhood home was the neigbourhood Private Music Studio and so my first love has always been Music.  The Music For Young Children group element offers an opportunity to learn the language of music with a fun and steady approach that will benefit families as music-lovers and musicians throughout their lives.

Understanding the various foundations of music enables people to excel with 'any' musical instrument, with the added benefit of learning to play the piano during the educational process.   These important foundations include, Rhythm, Theory, Music History, Ensemble & Solo Performance, Composing and Solfege.  Musical games and movement are the key to the weekly hour-long music class, beginning with very short practice times at home.  Positive experience with this home practice realizes short term goals and naturally increases the practicing skill.  Exciting longer-term goals such as learning to play seasonal music or play in a band provide even more motivation.

The wondrous language of music is diverse.  Some students will excel at Music History or Theory, some will love the Ensemble or Solo performance aspect and some will be passionate about Composing their own pieces.  Students sharing these remarkable skills with their families is my passion.  A positive, encouraging, and professional music studio is the key to learning the language of music …with a good dose of humour in every class.

Parent Recommendations:
Robin is a spectacular teacher, she has the ability to keep the kids engaged while they learn and as a parent with absolutely no music background, I also learned a few things! At times had to stop myself from joining into the competition in class!   She ignites excitement for music, and encourages a lifelong love of learning and playing music.  My boys love Ms Robin!

We are huge fans of the MYC program and of Robin as a teacher. She is great with the kids and the group classes are very enjoyable. Highly recommend!

"Robin's passion for music is infectious. She is so patient and has a way of challenging my children without making them feel overwhelmed. They look forward to their lessons every week.  I continue to be amazed at the level of commitment and progress my children have made."

Professional Recommendations

Music For Young Children - Group Classes
I have known Robin for a number of years now and am highly impressed with her dedication to the students and her professionalism.  
Music for Young Children had Robin fill the role as the Calgary area representative.  Robin’s bubbly nature and organizational skills brought teachers to share ideas and help each other.

I was also very impressed with her creativity in teaching concepts to the students at their level.  When things changed with COVID, Robin put together teaching videos that were highly engaging and instructive to keep her students making music.

Royal Conservatory of Music - Level 3 Group Class

I had the pleasure of attending a Level 3 RCM group-piano class, presented by Ms Robin Herbert, an accomplished and dedicated piano teacher.  The musical knowledge of each of these young students was truly inspiring as each responded to their teacher with enthusiasm and performed their pieces with confidence.
Kudos to their teacher, Ms Robin Herbert.
