BIO

Hi I'm Ms Robin,
Stay tuned....as I plan a return to teaching with Sunrise Music Classes for 3-4yr olds in Spring 2026!

Great Music, Theatre and Literature were the most valued treasures in our home when I was young.  My childhood home was the neigbourhood Private Music Studio and so my first love has always been Music.

The Music For Young Children - Sunrise Program offers an opportunity for families to learn the language of music with a fun and steady approach that will benefit young students with their parents.  Understanding the various foundations of music enables young people to begin learning 'any' musical instrument once they graduate from the Sunrise program.  These important Sunrise foundations include, Rhythm, fun Theory, Ensemble Performance and Solfege.  These skills are achieved through fun musical games, singing, movement & crafts in a weekly 45 minute music class.

Students sharing these remarkable skills with their families is my passion.  A positive, encouraging, and professional approach is the key to successfully teaching the language of music …with a good dose of humour in every class.

Parent Recommendations:
Robin is a spectacular teacher, she has the ability to keep the kids engaged while they learn and as a parent with absolutely no music background, I also learned a few things! At times had to stop myself from joining into the competition in class!   She ignites excitement for music, and encourages a lifelong love of learning and playing music.  My boys love Ms Robin!

I have known Robin for a number of years now and am highly impressed with her dedication to the students and her professionalism.  Music for Young Children had Robin fill the role as the Calgary area representative.  Robin’s bubbly nature and organizational skills brought teachers to share ideas and help each other.

Royal Conservatory of Music - Level 3 Group Class
I had the pleasure of attending a Level 3 RCM group-piano class, presented by Ms Robin Herbert, an accomplished and dedicated piano teacher.  The musical knowledge of each of these young students was truly inspiring as each responded to their teacher with enthusiasm and performed their pieces with confidence.
Kudos to their teacher, Ms Robin Herbert.
