Crafting and Fostering Creative Lives

“Both my daughter and I took piano lessons from Peter for about three years. We both appreciated Peter’s personalized approach to teaching piano and music to each of us. He really tries to identify what you want to get out of the lessons and will tailor his style to meet your needs. Peter is very talented and flexible, not only with his approach, but also in accommodating changing schedules and the busy lifestyles we all lead. I always found Peter to be patient, straightforward, reliable, and professional in all of our dealings.”

— Sarah Samphire
