Thanks for checking out our show!

My name is Mr. Rob and here at Prodigies, we make music lessons that are colorful, effective & crazy fun.

We love singing about colors, numbers, solfege, scale degrees and nursery rhymes to help kids, families & classrooms learn more about the language of music!

Happy Musicing!

– Mr. Rob & the Prodigies Team 😊

P.S. Our music lesson trick….we love mixing Solfege singing with call and response rhythms in a fun and easy format, while tossing in a little music history and music theory to boot!
