Student Success & Testimonial Gallery
A proven history of musical growth, academic achievement, and lifelong artistic confidence.
Over the past 35 years, I have had the privilege of guiding hundreds of students across the globe. For me, success is measured individually: it is found in the child discovering their very first melody, the adult learner unlocking a lifelong passion, the candidate passing a rigorous ABRSM board exam with distinction, and the high school scholar achieving top marks on their IGCSE Music assessments.
Below, read the honest experiences of parents, adult learners, and academic candidates who have walked their musical paths within the studio.

I am very glad that I have found Robert Boer on the internet! It is the end of an Odyssey to find the right teacher with whom I feel comfortable. From the first moment, I knew that his music school is the right place. A year before I met him, I tried to learn to play the piano with online video programs, but after a while, I saw that this leads to nowhere; then I started to try out teachers who work on those big platforms where you can learn everything, none of them convinced me, and then, one night, I saw by chance his website and thought: oh, this sounds special! And it is. Robert has all qualities a good teacher should have: the basic ones, as punctuality, friendliness, politeness, precision when he corrects something, as well as the higher ones as a fine sense to deal with different personalities, a supportive attitude towards the learner, humbleness, good concentration throughout the whole 60 minutes, a good portion of humour, but what I like the most is the feeling that one is not only a number in his list of students, but he really focuses on the special weaknesses and strengths of the individual, he seemed to be really interested in the improvements of each student. On the whole: I am looking forward to my lesson with him every week; it is an island of concentrated, focused work together, a bit like meditation, a special place in time, far away from the hustle and bustle, the superficiality of ordinary life. Thank you for this, Robert!

IBDP Music student
Ningbo, China
“Mr. Boer is an amazing teacher and mentor. During the two years of my IB career, he has always been my constant support and inspiration. His lively class adopted a variety of materials, explaining musical ideas through recorded concerts, professional analysis, and a piece’s backstory. He led our discussion of music step-by-step – when facing grand concepts like polyphony or jazz chords, an improvised passage on the piano would quickly dissect the complexities of music. I particularly liked the performance sessions, where Mr. Boer would address concerns and demonstrate techniques. He is such a well-rounded musician. He could learn in minutes a piece I had struggled to practice for weeks, then teach me the ins-and-outs to master it. I have enjoyed every part of my music experience with Mr. Boer and always wanted the next class to come sooner”.

Music Theory Student

“I’ve been taking music theory lessons from Mr. Robert Boer, and the support I’ve received has been incredibly profound. Not only is my tutor gifted with immense musical talent, but he also has plenty of passion and patience forbye. In theory lessons, Mr. Boer will explain any concept in detail. His classes have a delightful, encouraging atmosphere, and one can see that he has high expectations for his students. In the most heartfelt manner, I am immensely grateful and will recommend any—in doubt or in need— to partake in their lessons.”
Belle Suwanpotipra
Piano Student
Bangkok, Thailand
“Mr. Boer was my piano teacher for 4 years during my middle and high school years. During those years, I felt that I grew the most not only as a pianist but also as a musician. He introduced and taught me about famous pianists, composers, and important piano repertoire that later became very beneficial in my college and professional life. He fixed my technique at the piano and was able to ignite my passion to pursue classical piano as a career by guiding me to discover my own interpretations and creativity. I would not have my unique style of playing, or so-called my own “voice” at the piano if it wasn’t for Mr. Boer. I highly recommend him to any musician, not just pianists. Thank you for all your work with me, Mr. Boer!”.

Former Colleague of Robert Boer

“I’ve known Robert as a colleague for over 10 years. We both worked as music teachers at the same school in Bangkok, Thailand. As head of the music department, I've had the pleasure of working very closely with Robert, observe him in many lessons, and attend his many performances. Robert is a very dedicated teacher and is willing to go the extra mile for his students. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, encouraging, understanding, and supportive of all his students. Robert instills a love for music in his students, which results in his classes being very popular, and with high student participation. Robert is a great musician and it was a pleasure working together with him for so many years”.
Judye Byrum
Former Colleague of Robert Boer
USA
“Robert and I were colleagues at Ruamrudee International School in Thailand. He left RIS in 2012 to take another music position in China. Robert has been teaching and inspiring students wherever he goes. Robert not only encourages students who have never played an instrument regardless of age but continues to mentor older students who have gone on to play in Asian competitions. Robert possesses a wealth of musical knowledge, styles, techniques, and shares this knowledge generously. He never settles for mediocrity. What I really want to express is that Robert is a wonderful human being with a love of music that is unparalleled. Be assured that you are getting a quality music teacher with only your best interests as his goal”.
