Excerpts from teaching evaluations:

“Great!  Wow!  Not only an impressive musician but a really good teacher too!  Enthusiastic, encouraging, patient, well-organized, focused.”

“Peter’s classes are always a joy, and his expertise, patience and enthusiasm were wonderful, as always.”

“Great!  I was stretched rhythmically, conceptually, physically and creatively.”

“Terrific.  I was particularly impressed by the way Peter was able to give students with very different levels of ability just what they needed.  No complaints at all.”

“Wonderfully supportive atmosphere.  Good handouts and exercises.”

“Peter is one of the nicest and most encouraging teachers I have ever met.  We had a lot of fun in the class...He is an incredibly talented individual (I could listen to him play for hours) but I never felt intimidated, rather inspired.”

“Great class and great teacher!  Peter is not only an excellent performer but also a very fine teacher.  He’s obviously very comfortable and confident in front of a class; he’s demanding and supportive of his students at the same time and communicates his enthusiasm and love of his music very well.  Peter is also extremely well-organized and runs his classes with great precision and time management -- he has a plan that fits the available class hours, he always knows how much time is available during class and how to use it, etc.  I could hardly ask for a better-run class.”

“A++  Superb!  ‘nuff said."
