Introduction
Why Study with me? What makes studying music with Pete so special? 1. Personalized, patient learning environment While beginner students learn out of my book, I still strive to cater my lessons to each student, combining a healthy mix of fundamentals and student interests. 2.  Performance opportunities, with real pro musicians In lieu of traditional recitals, my students have the chance to perform in one of our Live Series concerts, hosted  at a real local venue, with special guest performers capping off the show. 3. Students can write, record, and release their own songs and music Students interested in songwriting can use the in-house recording equipment to record their original music. Helping students get to that "Ah-ha!" moment, whether learning a tune, chord, scale, or new technique!

I've been teaching myself through a mix of DVDs books, and online videos, but not making any progress. After my first lesson with Pete, I have learned where my roadblocks are. I'm now confident that my playing will improve.

Pete is fantastic! He's been instructing my daughter for about a month and a half now. He definitely has a methodical approach to his lesson and a goal that he is working towards. She is still learning many of the chords, but he has explained that they will soon pull it all together to make a song. I also really appreciate that he takes a little time to ask her about her life so they can get to know each other. My daughter looks forward to seeing him each week. Highly recommend him to those looking to start playing guitar!

Pete caters his lessons to his students' abilities and makes learning to play guitar fun. My daughter has been taking lessons for several years, and practices for the sheer joy of playing. Pete is a very talented and accomplished guitarist who takes great pleasure in watching his students improve under his guidance.
