Morristown resident, guitarist Rob Heinink is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA where he studied jazz, classical music and private guitar with Pat Metheny and William G. Leavitt.  Rob also received his teacher certification in music education from William Paterson University.  He has been teaching private guitar students for over 25 yrs throughout the NJ and NY area.  As a guitarist, Rob has performed with the Drifters, the Shirelles, the Marvelettes and Chuck Berry, to name a few.  He has also shared the stage with blues legends Buddy Guy, Junior Wells and John Mayall.  Back in the 80's he toured throughout Europe with the Broadway musical HAIR and has also performed in various theatres on and off Broadway including the Paper Mills Playhouse.  He transcribed THE BEST OF STEELY DAN guitar book for Hal Leonard Music publishers while he was playing guitar for the Steely Dan Tribute Band "The Royal Scam".  Rob is currently writing, arranging and recording original music and jazz standards in his home based studio "Mobile Music" for a soon to be released CD with the group...and all That Jazz.  He was recently hired by Brother International Corporation to compose a national radio jingle called "P-touch People" to help promote one of their products.  Rob sees the need for a summer music day camp where kids can learn and explore music on the guitar in a creative and enjoyable environment.  He believes that music study should be fun but also wants to give young guitarists the tools they need to grow as musicians thus encouraging them to be disciplined and work hard on their music skills.  Whether it be jazz, blues, rock, funk or classical music, Rob is sure to point students in the right direction, while helping them achieve their musical goals.
