Peter accomplished his vocal performance MFA work at SUNY Purchase with some piano classes thrown in for good measure. He has 10 years public school teaching experience as a certified teacher at his alma mater in New York State where he was able to complete his coursework on a second Masters Degree at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in Educational Administration.
Peter has traveled throughout the Europe performing with choirs and orchestras and has appeared with Zubin Mehta… as a part of the Statue of Liberty 200th Celebration Lincoln Center concerts. Peter has more recently appeared with the Princeton Opera Company. Anyhow, Peter loves music and the arts and hopes you find room in your life for some artistic expression.

Some benefits of coming to Mill Pond Arts…
1. Pre-payments keep students committed. Keep coming back week after week will keep you moving forward as you learn at your own pace!
2. One stop shopping. We procure all books and any accessories you need. No need to run out to the music store or pay shipping prices to buy on-line.
3. Excellent Customer Service. Free phone consultations! All active students are welcome to call with any questions during home practice time. We are able to truly customize each lesson to the individual student according to their ability and potential. Your lessons should not seem too difficult or too boring. Check out our 52 Practice Tips!
4. We keep you informed. We will send you an email with all pertinent information, news and practice ideas.
5. More enjoyment from your holidays. In November we plan for the holidays and provide students with a video recording of their holiday piece. If there is a special occasion coming up (such as a birthday) we’ll make sure you’re able to play the appropriate song(s) given we have ample time to prepare.
6. You’ll be an independent musician! With our method (instilling sight reading and note reading) you will be able to play the songs you want to play…..without having to run to your teacher every time you want to play a new song.
7. Our teachers have families that participate in our local communities. Our instructors play live regularly in churches, bands, on broadway, and in the Philadelphia Orchestra. We all like to laugh!
8. We try to serve the whole family by providing multiple lesson choices at one time. In one 30-minute trip, many families have 3 lessons all at the same time… one in guitar, one in piano, and one in voice, with three different instructors at the same time.
