Coming this summer: Groove Camp for teens!

Rob Nicholson is a perfect candidate to teach budding musicians of any age. He has been gigging and teaching in the Washington DC area for over eight years. In addition he served as the K-8 music teacher at Friends Community School in College Park MD where his out-of-the-box teaching methods allowed him to co-write several musicals with his amazing students. Robert is the creator and co-administrator (with Brian Weber) of Takoma Groove Camp, a progressive summer music experience for intermediate to advanced teenage musicians.

Robert believes that everybody has the capacity to enjoy making music, whether the goal is to become a professional musician or to simply learn how to strum chords with friends and family. He is especially interested in leading people towards self discovery and growth through musical and lyrical creativity.
