About
With 15 years of experience teaching guitar, I have a variety of options to cater to all learning styles. From classic one-on-one lessons to more adaptable coaching options, I am well-equipped to ensure each student reaches their full potential.

I am passionate about all genres of music, having studied jazz and classical guitar in college, performing for acclaimed guitarists like Ana Vidovic, Manuel Barrueco, and Andrew York. I moved to New York City after graduation, where I played as a jazz guitarist and studied under renowned musicians like Peter Bernstein and Brad Shepik.

I find teaching to be incredibly fulfilling, having studied guitar pedagogy and worked with private students, classrooms, and music store guitar studios since high school. Helping my students to explore their interests, to learn new and exciting music and to cultivate a sense of pride in their progress is always a joy.

Whether in-person or via Zoom, I make myself available to answer student queries throughout the week. My lessons range from 30 to 60 minutes, with the first two weeks booked week-to-week, after which I book lessons monthly. For those who seek greater flexibility, I offer a $20 weekly rate for remote coaching, including access by email and messaging, two video responses and personalized pdf materials.

Having played for an extended period and having had various teachers in the past, I eventually began taking lessons from Peter. To my surprise, his method had a profound effect on my approach to playing the instrument. With his guidance, I gained valuable perspectives that not only allowed me to break free of my usual playing habits, but also had an instant positive impact on my performance and comprehension of the guitar.

Peter is an exceptional instructor who demonstrates patience, kindness, and a willingness to provide thorough responses to inquiries. Through his guidance, one not only gains a knowledge of how to expertly play music but also comprehends the reasoning behind it, allowing for individual growth and development in conjunction with the music theory that he freely imparts. I strongly endorse Peter to anyone seeking knowledge; his musical proficiency and care for his pupils are unparalleled.
