Learn With The World's Best Musicians

“I feel like he makes it easy to learn because you keep doing new things, he shows you how in a way that's unique to both him and you because if that's how you learn best then that's how you're going to learn. There's no, 'This is how you do it, now repeat a million times' it just flows naturally and you learn how you want to.”

It's amazing how you explain improvisation which I thought is unlearnable. 🙂 Thank you!

“I can highly recommend these courses for all kinds of advancements in your musicianship and aural skills.”

Absolutely first-class. Very rarely have I found music tuition in theory and aural work to be so professionally executed, however the personal bond which is built between teacher and student is immense with The Maestro Online, something which is even rarer in music tuition. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who needs help with music theory or aural work, you absolutely will not regret it. Very well done to The Maestro Online!

“I love the graphics and the videos are awesome! There’s so much in it. All relevant, educational and really helpful. It’s like having 3 months of lessons in one course. I love it!”

“Robin’s online music tutorials are fantastic for both myself and my children. I would highly recommend these to anyone. Great value for money considering the brilliant content and expertise of Robin.”

“Just achieved more in a 30 minute organ lesson with Robin than I’ve achieved in the last 5 years of trying to teach myself. Why did I leave it so long to find a teacher?”

This online platform is the complete polar opposite to my own learning experiences of learning to play the piano in the 90s. I was made to learn the 4 pieces and only the 4 pieces for grading purposes. I disliked the piano and certainly am unable to recall nor play anything pleasant 20 years later. However, this is very inspiring and with the availability of such resources, I am picking up learning to play the piano again using these materials, at my own pace (and convenience) without the need to travel.

Dr Robin Harrison's passion to teach music has been very inspiring and his innovations to inspire learning are second to none! I cannot recommend him highly enough!

This is a very unique website, there is nothing else like it. It teaches pop and classical improvisation, with the focus on classical, although there are also some jazz lessons as well. There are some amazing teachers on there who are top in their field. In addition, they also teach ear training via Solfege which is really great. Also Robin the owner is always on hand should you have any questions, he is lovely and friendly, and always responds to emails straight away. What are you waiting for?!

The Online Maestro provides a huge amount of not only educational, but very interesting videos made by/with very renowned musicians in the injury! Robin is also always on hand to lend a helping hand himself if there’s ever anything you get stuck with. As a music teacher myself, having little insights to some fabulous minds has been for sure my favourite part about this site!

We have recently been introduced to his widely accredited 'Pop Piano Examination' syllabus alongside with its online toolkit. This is not only a breath of fresh air to learning to play the piano but also a way to achieve accreditation milestones. The pieces are very different compared to the established syllabus, and most importantly, we can relate to them, rather than a lot of classical pieces.

My daughter is working on pop piano exams currently and she enjoys using the online toolkit. The content, layout and the quality of the materials on the online portal are well thought of and it was very easily navigated, even by an 8 year old. The online toolkit provides the opportunity, inspiration and motivation to independent learning. She absolutely loves it and we noticed an improvement in the attitude towards learning. This is certainly a game changer for learning to play the piano, and we certainly hope that this will continue.

Three things make Robin an exception teacher who has taken me beyond 'playing the right notes in the right order: (1) He carefully observes my playing and gives detailed guidance on how I can improve. This results in even the simplest of pieces sounding beautiful. (2) He is incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the music and the composer to life with background details about the instruments of that period, the performing style, and the character of the composer. (3), Possibly most important of all, he is sympathetic.

When my playing has been rigid and tense, he has advice on how to relax; and when I'm feeling fed-up or disheartened, he's happy to divert to playing music which is light-hearted and fun. An inspirational teacher, whether you're preparing for major exams and performances, or you're an absolute beginner.

The lessons I had with The Maestro Online were brilliant! An experienced musician and amazing pedagogue, Robin was extremely helpful as I prepared for my organ and written exams. His methods are extensive and varied, and always helpful. I believe my work improved significantly under his teaching. The library courses I did with The Maestro Online were also extremely helpful. They were easy to navigate, easy to understand, and offered advice which was practical and able to be replicated. I would recommend The Maestro Online courses to musicians of all experience and abilities.

Robin came to give an organ recital for us this evening, it was brilliant, very much appreciated, and we are very grateful for his efforts! He’s an excellent musician with vision and drive that we could all use! He’s also taught our last two organ scholars at church, who have both gone on to cathedral scholarships! Well done, maestro!

Robin is an exceptional tutor and has really engaged my daughter in her piano playing. His tone and nature is really calm and kind and his patient approach really benefits her. He lets us record a weekly video to rehearse at home and is always at the end of an email if needed. Thank you!

I am very satisfied to have Robin as my organ keyboard teacher. I am a 77 year old and I have struggled to learn to play the organ on my own. I have learnt a lot in the last three weeks with Robin as my teacher. He quickly figured out my limited skill level and patiently start advancing my knowledge and skill. I am really blessed to have him as my teacher.

Writing music is very isolating, especially if you obsessed with it. I often stop and reflect if what I am doing is any good, and if any one else shares the same struggles that I think every creative person puts themselves through. I always enjoy listening to those who've inspired me in my composing journey, and I found it with Patrick Cassidy's Course with the Maestro Online. I will continue to always fall back on the fundamentals. It was a complete joy to feel like I was part of Robin and Patrick's Conversation. I really liked the way each course asked if your composition achieved certain goals... It really helps you face your composition to see if it the music was true.

I have benefited significantly from Robin's teaching and from the course materials on "The Maestro Online" website. I have been preparing for various Diploma examinations and his support and guidance have been extremely valuable.

Robin has a wealth of knowledge and takes a holistic approach to his teaching, focusing on acting through song (Musical Theatre) and performance mindset, as well as technique. Highly recommend!

Wonderful teacher. Helping a student through (almost) two diploma level exams is no easy task, especially cross-continent, is no easy task but Robin has done it really well. Highly recommend.

I couldn’t recommend Robin at The Maestro Online any more highly! I booked a one-off singing lesson with Robin, as I needed some pointers on a specific song. I was a little dubious, as I was booking online, without any recommendation from any of my singer friends. Soon after booking, I received an email from Robin asking what I wanted to cover. I explained and sent the score to him. It became clear in our session that Robin had read the score and listened to the song that I wanted advice on for our session. Robin quickly put me at ease and understood what I was looking for from our session. Robin is clearly incredibly knowledgeable and very experienced in every aspect of musical performance.

A really passionate, knowledgable and amazing organ teacher. I thoroughly enjoy my organ lessons with him and I would recommend him to anybody! 🙂

I have had years of vocal training over the years, yet Robin was able to offer me advice, and techniques, that were new to me. Robin understood my voice, understood what I needed to do and explained it to me in a way that made perfect sense. I’d have no doubt to book future sessions with Robin. Quite frankly, with Robin’s expertise and experience, I can confidently say that his offerings are excellent value for money – I would happily pay more for Robin’s level of experience. Thank you!
