Robert Rice discovered his passion for music at the age of seven with his first clarinet. Classically trained through middle and high school, Robert also pursued jazz studies, which introduced him to a broad spectrum of musical styles. Over time, he mastered a wide range of instruments, including bass clarinet, saxophones, trumpet, trombone, tuba, drums, guitar, and ultimately the bass guitar, which became his primary focus.

In college, Robert explored big band jazz and Latin music, performing with Orquestra Brasil. His music career began in 8th grade with The Hornswogglers, a punk rock band inspired by Green Day, and has since evolved into active roles in the bands Acting Captain and Boundless Joy.

Robert’s teaching career started at Guitar Center, where he spent four years before joining RiverCity Rock Star Academy. He began work as a studio musician at the same time he began teaching, mostly laying tracks for independent artists that need extra instrumentation.

As an instructor, Robert combines his classical training, performance experience, and technical expertise to help students of all levels achieve their musical goals. His lessons are crafted to inspire creativity and foster a lifelong love for music.
