About Robin Cain

Hello, My Name is Robin. I teach Piano, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Ukulele, Electric Bass, Upright Bass, Music Production, and Music Theory at the M&A Burien location, with over 24 years of experience studying instruments and over 10 years of experience teaching. This includes receiving a BM in Jazz Studies from Capital University, Masters level study at New England Conservatory in Boston, and continuing to enjoy a 7 year bass performance career. This included 2 years of working as a bass player on Norwegian and P&O Australia Cruise Ships, and playing every kind of music you could imagine. I also developed a never ending patience and passion for teaching while providing lessons throughout my performance career and working for Apple Stores full time for over 6 years, until 2018. Currently I am combining these passions with a renewed focus on teaching and education. I am excited to work with all ages and skill levels, especially beginners. I feel accomplished providing a young person or adult with the building blocks to have fun making music, and to see the look on that students face when the concepts start to click! I am proud to aid in a child’s cognitive development, as well as provide musical foundations that empower them to understand and play music on any instrument in the future. If you're an adult and you have always wanted to play your favorite song or jam with your friends, I’m your guy. As a teacher, I am dedicated to motivating and inspiring my students, tracking progress, and excelling learning, whilst finding a way to still have fun! I strive to get to know my students and work with them and/or parents to make it engaging and fun, while still achieving goals. When I’m not teaching, I’m practicing all of my instruments, and performing with local cover Band The Nines, and local world music group Cordaviva. I also make creative lo-fi beats and compose with Logic X music Software, compose and arrange my own music for small groups, spend time with family and friends, and playing for kids at a weekly Kaleidoscope Play and Learn group led by my wife Joy, hosted by Childhaven. I live blocks away from Music & Arts in Burien, and you may also see me out in Seattle playing bass at local jam sessions. I look forward to sharing my passion and excitement for music with you! I teach at the Burien location on Mondays & Wednesdays!
