Philosophy

 

Students will learn to craft an expressive variety of sounds and combine them to make persuasive musical thought.

​

Lessons

​

Lessons include three aspects of development: technique, studies and repertoire. The

Right and left hand progressive exercises will develop purity of tone and accuracy of intonation.

 

Melodic studies in the Piatti and Popper collections reinforce concepts discussed in lessons and segue to the repertoire.

 

The classical repertoire is rich and expressive and there is much of it to enjoy. Peter also encourages students who wish to persue alternative styles  such as jazz, popular, bluegrass, orchestral, chamber and rock. 

​

​

​
