"Robert the Guitar Guy has performed several times at the Wilton Library Association in the past two years. He always plays to a full house -- one time there were more than 200 people at the performance, and there would have been more if they could have fit in the room.
"He has performed in the summer and the fall, but the time of year did not matter, everyone comes out for him. A beautiful summer day? Everyone takes time out to attend Robert the Guitar Guy's programs. All of the programs were for preschoolers, and the children and the caregivers were completely engaged during the hour Robert the Guitar Guy was performing. Robert played wonderful songs that the children loved and they responded enthusiastically to his prompts for movement: jumping, dancing, and clapping. Robert's enthusiasm and the children's happiness is contagious: adults clap and tap along with the music. I would not hesitate to recommend Robert the Guitar Guy for a preschool program at any library." Laura Schwemm, Head Children’s Librarian, Wilton , CT
"He has continued to delight our large audiences of children and adults with his voice, his guitar, and his personality."
Deborah White , Children’s Librarian, Westport , CT
"His command of his material and his obvious love for music had a wonderful effect on the audience. When the show was over we heard the kids commenting on how much fun they had and the parents giving their voice of approval with nothing but positive comments about the show."
Joanne Grumman, Librarian, Bethel , CT
"You involve the children totally in the make believe you create. Your guitar work is exquisite!"
Rosemary Rasmussen, Head Children’s Librarian, White Plains, NY
“Pied Piper, move over. You’ve got competition of Olympic proportions.”
Jan Lazor, Waterbury Republican-American
“Dear Robert, I was not surprised when your program drew an audience of 130. Your songs and story grabbed their attention from the first moments and never let go. I was particularly amused to see some of our “tough” little guys from the soccer club laughing with such abandon at what some had feared might be seen as a “girls’ story.” Soccer players don’t usually relate all that well to princesses, at least not in Sherman.”
Melissa Coury, Library Director Sherman Library, Sherman, CT.
“They really thought you were fantastic because you didn’t just sing to them, you sang and played with them. Your interaction with the kids was humorous, patient, natural and age-appropriate.”
Lisa Pichnarcik, Librarian Fairchild-Nichols Library, Trumbull, CT.
Robert also performs for the 5 – 12 age range:
"At our end-of-summer program he entertained a packed house of 160 children and parents. His sense of humor and comic props elicited laughter and appreciation. The strongest element of Robert's show for us was his success in having abundant audience participation - including parents. As one nine-year-old said, 'It was a great show!'" Chris Piatelli, Librarian, Shrub Oak, NY
"Most compelling for the kids was Robert’s ability to get them to participate in the story, they would always be involved. They found him very humorous and entertaining. He is a warm and wonderful entertainer, who is able to charm any child." Caryn Campbell and Kelly Snisky Co-Directors, The Mamaroneck Beach &Yacht Club Day Camp
"Robert's songs and stories address the daily concerns and tribulations of young students. He is right in tune with their stage of development. He serves as a good role model by treating all children with sensitivity and compassion." Anne Duckett, Teacher Port Chester School District, NY
"Through the creative use of puppetry and storytelling, Robert teaches children about values and interpersonal relationships. Children leave Robert's musical sessions with newfound self esteem."
Cindy Casterella, Teacher Port Chester School District, NY
“Every student is engaged as Robert plays his music and tells his stories with an air of mystery and wisdom. His storytelling stimulates our children to learn. They seem both relaxed and motivated in his presence.” Alexandra Terry, Teacher Port Chester School District, NY
