Robert Edwards, Pianist

Robert Edwards, originally from Grand Rapids, studied at The University of North Texas, earning a Master of Classical Piano Performance. In Texas he worked with special needs students, along with teaching private piano lessons, planning and playing for worship services at several Dallas churches, directing church choirs, performing for and adjudicating piano competitions and helping establish The Singapore Slingers, an 18-piece Early Jazz orchestra.

He combines his interest in Ragtime and Traditional Jazz with his fondness for early film by composing and performing scores for silent films, which he’s performed at The Dallas Museum of Art, the Modern Museum of Art and Kimball Museum in Ft. Worth, Tx, the infamous Texas Theatre in Dallas, and aboard The Queen Mary 2.

Robert moved back to West Michigan in 2021, and feels he’s really home again. He teaches piano lessons and is involved with numerous local musical ensembles as solo pianist and collaborative musician.
