Guitar with Peter A.

I've been teaching guitar for fifteen years and playing for most of my life. I've made every mistake in the book and spent hours (days, weeks, years) trying to fix them all. If you’re having trouble with something, chances are I've had trouble with it too––chances are, I can help. I studied classical and jazz guitar in college, during which time I performed in masterclasses for numerous world-class concert guitarists, including Ana Vidovic, Manuel Barrueco, and Andrew York. After college, I moved to New York City, where I where I worked as a gigging jazz guitarist and studied with musicians like Peter Bernstein and Brad Shepik. My approach is rooted in technique and musicianship, but always tailored to the individual. When you study with me, you'll receive coherent, cohesive lessons designed around making actual music. I want to help you get the most out of what you already know, then build from there. You'll receive detailed lesson plans and written materials the whole time. Teaching students to make the music they love is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. I love helping people do something they're proud of ... helping them use the guitar to explore their interests in more depth than they thought possible... helping them explore new and exciting music.
