I collaborated with Pete for around three months, during which he assisted me in acquiring skills to enhance my ability to improvise songs. As a retired senior, I had been teaching myself to play the piano for approximately seven years, with some intermittent tutoring. However, my repertoire had become stale and monotonous, as I was mostly reliant on the lead sheet. Fortunately, Pete reinvigorated my passion for playing by coaching me on how to approach a lead sheet with different techniques. I am grateful to Pete for his invaluable assistance in spicing up my musical performances.

Pete is amazing! I began receiving lessons from him slightly more than a year ago. Despite having no prior formal instruction, he taught me a rendition of Ben Folds' "The Luckiest" that I played for my spouse on our wedding day only a few months following. He collaborates with you to ensure that you are familiar with the fundamentals while still keeping the experience enjoyable. It has been obvious from the beginning that he is passionate about music and possesses the patience and enthusiasm necessary to assist anyone desiring to learn more about the instrument and music as a whole. I highly recommend him.

Pete has been nothing short of amazing in providing our entire family with a delightful lesson experience. He exudes patience, kindness, warmth, and delivers instructions in a clear and concise manner. Thanks to his guidance, my daughter has developed a deep love for piano and continues to improve her skills every week. Pete's compassion extends beyond the scheduled lessons as he takes out time to train my other little ones on the sidelines whenever they show an interest. We cannot sing enough praises about this phenomenal teacher. Seize the opportunity and engage Pete's services today!
