Jimmy Robertson

Mr. Jimmy Lee Robertson III, affectionately known by his students as “Mr. Rob”, is one of five children and a native of Longview, TX. He is currently approaching his fifteenth year of
teaching, and second year as Head Director of Choral Activities at Naaman Forest High School in Garland, TX. Robertson holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education from Stephen F. Austin State University, and a Master’s in Choral Conducting from Texas Tech University. He plans to pursue a Phd or DMA in the near future. Robertson’s passion for choral music is infectious in that several of his former and current students are All-Region Members, Texas Music Scholars, State Solo and Ensemble Qualifiers, and/or Texas All-State Choir Members. Students under Robertson’s tutelage have gone on to pursue music education at some of the finest music institutions in the country. Robertson’s professional memberships include Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity, TMEA, TCDA, ACDA, SWACDA, and the Texas Music Adjudicators Association.

When not in the choral classroom, Robertson is in great demand as a guest on Choral Podcast Stations, UIL Contest Adjudicator, Festival Guest Conductor, All Region Clinician, Music Education Advocate, and Soloist for weddings, church services, and (most recently) the Dallas Mavericks, performing the Star Spangled Banner there December of 2021. Robertson is excited for his upcoming Carnegie Hall debut conducting Schubert’s Mass in G in June of 2025. He looks forward to collaborating with other like-minded and highly skilled musicians.
