    About Chris P.

    I've been teaching music for over 10 years and my teaching experience extends to my private studio, public and private school classrooms, and organizations like the Community Music Center of Boston and the Boston Flute Academy. I have experience teaching students of various ages and levels, from 5 year old beginners, to high school students preparing for (and winning) college music school auditions, to adults looking to learn music for their own enjoyment. Visit my website at christopherpetre.com to learn about me and what I do! Teaching Philosophy As an actively performing musician, arts administrator, and scholar, I strive to foster versatility and adaptability in my students. I expect dedication, responsibility, passion, punctuality, and a willingness to learn a diverse set of skills to make my students more complete musicians. My students should also expect many things from me: excellence and efficiency in my teaching; pedagogically sound scaffolding of skills; and a caring and supportive learning environment. What do we work on in lessons? Tone and vibrato Technique and scales Etudes and studies A varied series of repertoire Elements of music theory and history Healthy practice and performance habits Skills to use in life and in music
