    About Peter E.

    Hello! My name is Peter. When I was a toddler, I would sit on my dad's lap as he played piano, fascinated by the sound he created. I knew then that I wanted to become a musician. I began to study the guitar, bass, and drums relentlessly, recording my own little demos on an ADAT recorder. Since then, music has allowed me the chance to travel the US, both as a performer and a recording artist/engineer. I began teaching guitar just after graduating from the Evergreen State College in 2006. Since then, I have taught ever age imaginable and have even taught full classrooms of 20+ students. Now, here in beautiful Los Angeles, I am excited to meet new students and share in the discovery of music. I am new to TakeLessons, but I have a few quotes from the parents of past students... "Peter is a wonderful teacher who is kind soft spoken and caring about his students. His teaching style seems to match his students. He is laid back and funny making the lessons FUN for the kids. I would recommend him to any one who asked me where to get lessons from. Our family has come to adore Peter teaching our children." - Liz Rick, Sumner WA "Peter has been teaching my 6 year old son once a week since about May 2007. Not only is Peter remarkably patient with a young student with a predictably short attention span, he is also been willing to come to our home to give the lessons which is a great convenience to my wife and I." - Joch Louman, Gig Harbor WA
