Empowering Kids Through Music: My “Why”
Hi, I’m Rob Egan—a passionate musician and educator with a Bachelor of Music from Berklee College of Music. Over the past 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of performing across the U.S., Canada, and Europe, including with legendary artists like Henry Mancini and Bob Mintzer, as well as the U.S. Army Ground Forces Band.
But my true calling has always been teaching.
With over 5,000 hours of online instruction, I’ve mastered the art of creating seamless, engaging learning experiences tailored to each student. My virtual setup includes three drum kits, six camera angles, and studio-quality audio, allowing students to feel supported and inspired—no matter where they are.
I’ve seen firsthand how music transforms lives. It’s not just about learning rhythms or playing beats—it’s about building confidence, sparking creativity, and igniting a lifelong love for learning. My lessons aren’t one-size-fits-all. Each session is uniquely crafted to support the needs of every child, whether they’re neurodiverse, autistic, homeschooled, or simply eager to explore music.
As a U.S. Army Band veteran, I bring structure, discipline, and a warm, encouraging approach to everything I do. I believe every child deserves to feel the joy and pride that comes from discovering their potential. Helping them achieve that—one beat at a time—is why I do what I do.
