Peter is, quite simply, the best! Extremely skilled and knowledgeable, and I love his enthusiasm. He makes lessons fun while teaching me new skills. Five stars!

I have been playing guitar for almost 12 years, I was considering lessons for awhile and I wish I started with Guitar Star years ago. In only a few months I feel more confident in my playing and have a renewed interest in playing guitar. I'm excited to keep getting these lessons and learning as much as I can. I would recommend anyone at any level to take lessons here. Peter is an amazing teacher

Very knowledgable and patient instructor. Teaches using music types and styles my 8 year old son is interested in. Also creative in the way he works to individually cater teaching methods in order to encourage success in learning guitar, and keep the student genuinely interested

I am a 47 year old man that picked up guitar with no musical experience at the age of 45. I have been going to lessons weekly with Pete for almost two years. I look forward to the lessons and I like them not only because I am progressing and seeing improvement but also because I think Pete is a great guy and I enjoy the discussion and back and forth banter that rounds out the lesson. Pete is following a course of instruction with me that uses Hal Leonard's books so you are building skills in a reasonable and complete way. Pete is clearly a talented guitarist and can pick up and help you with about any song you bring in or mention in class to supplement the book practice and to keep guitar interesting. Finally, when I was taking lessons at a local music store before I started with Pete, the instructor and I were shoved into what felt like a small hot closet for the lesson. I like going to Pete's house much better because his practice room is large and comfortable and he actually manages the climate to be comfortable for the student.
