Robert The Guitar Guy (Robert Markowitz) is a children's singer, guitarist, songwriter, educator, and recording artist. Robert’s repertoire includes over 75 children’s songs and he has recorded three CD’s. His style is to get on eye-level with your child and convey his delight in musical expression.

Robert’s latest CD, DON’T SNEEZE CHOO-CHOO TRAIN won the iParenting Media Award and was reviewed favorably by School Library Journal. His first album, MOVING TO THE BEAT was a CD Baby Children's Pop Editor's Pick. Out of thousands of children's songs on CDBaby.com, his "Bossanova Boo-boo" was chosen for CD Baby's 12-song compilation album in 2003.

Robert has performed extensively for the international children’s retailer Pottery Barn Kids at their stores in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

School Library Journal called his latest album “fun, varied, and upbeat.” Hot off the Griddle magazine called Robert’s music "imaginative" and "hilarious."

Robert has developed a method of musical play with kindergarten and pre-school children incorporating music, rhythm, movement, humor, role-playing, storytelling and props which makes his performances fun for children and adults alike.

For a grade school audience, Robert leads a costumed cast (chosen from the audience) through an action-packed performance of a musical story designed to allow the cast to shine, and the audience to laugh. Each musical story deals with a character education theme. The vibrant antics of the children on stage encourage the children in the audience to participate.

Robert holds a BA from Connecticut College and a JD from Duke University. He has taught literacy-through-music in the NYC public school system as well as music & movement in the Portchester Public School System.

He lives with his wife and daughter in South Salem, New York.
