About Peter
I have been playing piano for 18 years. I was a late starter so I know what it's like starting late. Though I started late I got very far with my playing. I've played in front of small audiences a few times.
I have taught 3 people so far, including a friend who I am currently teaching, and I want to continue this teaching journey. All the lessons I've given so far have been very successful and good experiences.
Before going to two colleges to do music (both of which were mainly centred around performing pop/rock music in bands with your classmates), I learned music through countless private piano lessons with great musicians. In colleges is where I first got to play music in bands.
I love music, however I once thought I would never play a musical instrument but that completely changed. Through my own journey of learning music, I think I have developed a very good way of teaching music that can enable even quite pessimistic people to understand music and learn piano much better than they imagined they could.
I have mainly played Ragtime, Classical, Pop/Rock and video game music. As shown in the YouTube video I've included in this advert, I like video game music and that's mainly what I'm currently learning.

Hi everyone!
I'm currently teaching beginners and low level players.
If you're a beginner, I will give you what you need to get going! I will help you with everything you don't yet know and teach you what you need to eventually make you self-sufficient at learning music. I will explain everything in a helpful and understandable way to you.
So far, I have taught people partly through helping them to learn a piece or pieces of music that they would like to play; the piece would be something attractive but not very difficult, perhaps a slow piece. This is a great way to learn so I will likely teach you this way too. Before the lesson, we will discuss what pieces you'd like to start learning then I will look at your chosen piece or pieces and learn them in preparation for your first lesson.
I also ask that you bring a notebook of your choice (it could simply be your phone's memo app, if that would suffice) because we will write down all the content of the lesson. Writing down what we do in the lesson is super helpful because it allows you to take much more away from the lesson than you would otherwise, empowering your home practice, and because your memory is often not your friend.
After the first lesson you will have sheet music with notes and markings I've written on it. This is necessary for productive learning.
One particular way I can teach is to sort of skip teaching you the hard music theory at first and just give you layman-friendly shortcuts to actually playing the music. This will get you playing as much as possible as soon as possible which you surely want to do. However, understanding the music theory is what will enable you to learn music by yourself (unless you're gifted enough to be able to just learn music by ear which most of us aren't!). So you can learn the music theory a little later, if you want, if you'd rather just quickly get playing.
For everyone I've taught so far, about an hour seemed a desirable length for the lesson. It seemed to allow everyone to properly get into it before feeling satisfied to stop. So the first lesson could be an hour or potentially an hour and a half, if you wish. One objective is to make you completely feel that the lesson is worth what you pay!
By "first lesson free", I mean my first half hour is free.
I would much prefer it if you came to my place for the lesson, but I have a car so I can potentially come to your place if it's absolutely necessary. We can discuss this. If necessary, I could bring my portable keyboard to you. If I have to travel to you, I would charge just a little extra because of the extra time out of my day, and just a little more if I have to transport my keyboard, keyboard stand, speaker and piano stool to your place and back to mine again - it's heavy stuff.
Thank you, I look forward to helping you with your music.
