Robbie Neeb, MMT, MT-BC
Teaches: Offers music therapy in individual and group settings and teaches adaptive lessons on drums, guitar, and piano.
Pronouns: He/him/his
Teaching Philosophy: Music can be accessible for all individuals, no matter what age or ability. Music is a tool that can be used for the sole purpose of developing musical ability and it can be used to promote growth in non-musical aspects of life. All of us have a song to sing, we just need to find a way to let it out.
Music Influences: Billy Strings, Grateful Dead, A Tribe Called Quest, Mac Miller, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Claude Debussy, John Denver, Herbie Hancock, The Eagles… Not sure how to stop this list.
When I’m not making music: I thoroughly enjoy hiking, running, “beaching”, skiing, traveling, and cooking savory dishes.
Current projects: Solo bluegrass/folk project and freelance drummer.
Favorite Place in Maine: Bar Harbor, bub.
