Robert SteadmanNew York, NYExpert Multi-Instrumentalist, Accomplished Professional Musician, Kind & Empathic Tutor
Hi, I’m Rob. Born in South Africa and raised in Oxford, UK, I began my career as a professional touring and recording musician at the age of sixteen. As a member of the band Stornoway, I had the incredible privilege of touring the world and playing some of its most renowned stages, performing live on the UK’s biggest music television program, “Later...with Jools Holland”, alongside Jay Z, Foo Fighters, Norah Jones, and Sting, recording live sessions in the infamous Abbey Road studios for mainstream BBC Radio programs, being interviewed by top music journalists as well as performing on some of the BBC’s main prime-time radio and television political programs including Andrew Marr’s talk-show, and receiving a silver record from BMI for record sales - all before the age of 25.
I’ve worked with all ages in the UK and US as a Private Tutor, Lead Teacher, Teaching Artist, and Music Therapist. Blending all the aspects of Music that I've learned from experience, I use a unique teaching methodology focused on excellence, enjoyment, and creative rule-breaking! Having studied Music throughout school, worked as an award-winning professional musician, and been trained as a Music Teacher, my knowledge and fluency in Music is extensive! My students never leave a lesson without a new piece of valuable information and something to add to their skillset.
