Also in 1603, Robinson brought out his second book, The Schoole of Musicke, a tutor for lute and other instruments. In 1609 Robinson's third book, New Citharen Lessons, was published. It was a cittern tutor for beginners and advanced learners. Robinson's works for the most part consist of his own compositions.
