JAF Guitar School

Peter is a super nice guy! Very good at his craft and teaches the guitar very well in a way that makes sense. We have recently been doing lessons over Skype which at first I had apprehensions about but they work very well. Just as good as in person. You can tell Peter is a guitar lover and it shows in our classes together.

Our daughter has been taking guitar lessons with Peter for over a year and has been enjoying every minute of it. Peter is such an amazing teacher and an amazing human being. He is very professional, friendly, open, very flexible, empathetic and extremely patient. He has such a great gift of sharing his knowledge and passion. It has been such a wonderful journey for our daughter from the very beginning. He is not only a great musician but a great music teacher as well.

Pete has an incredible ability to connect with my young son as they have yet to even meet in person, thanks to covid. My son looks forward to his zoom lessons each week and Pete is able to customize to his interests, skill level and keep him engaged! My son has flourished with Pete, and now proudly plays concerts for the family and each week I am amazed at my son's progress. Pete's ability to find what is motivating and his positive, enthusiastic encouragement make all the difference. I look forward to my younger two starting with him! ~ Esther Loney

I have nothing but good things to say about Peter and his guitar lessons. He's an excellent musician and teacher, and an even better person. Well versed in all kinds of music styles, and genuinely cares about his students. And I'm happy to say that he has become a friend in the process.

Pete is an amazing guitarist that plays and teaches many genres of music with a teaching style that is very effective. Pete teaches many techniques that helped me avoid ruts and achieve my goals with guitar as fast as possible. His positive approach towards music helped encourage and motivate me to play. Pete provides an amazing learning environment for his students, I would highly recommend Pete to anyone looking to take lessons and improve their skills as a musician.

Testimonial: Peter is a great musician, teacher, and friend. I have learned a great deal from his instruction over the years, and more recently two of my kids (ranging from ages 6-9) really enjoyed studying from him over the course of 2020-2022. They studied guitar, bass, and ukulele and had a blast. He charges very fair rates given his years of expertise in the field (I have been a music teacher myself, and have taken upper level piano conservatory exams). I had never taken structured guitar lessons before (I am in my thirties), and as a self taught guitarist I really found his lessons helpful to break bad habits and discover new musical territory. If we had not moved a fair distance outside of London last year, my kids and I would still be attending his lessons today. I highly recommend his music school business, whether online or in person. Thanks for reading!

Peter is our 13 years old son’s guitar teacher. Since we met Peter, we had only a good experience. Not only Peter is very dedicated and extremely passionate about music, he also treats his students very individually, based on their skills level and music interests. He has a great teaching style. His casual and very positive approach builds great relationships with students and motivates them to play. He sets goals for his students while actively listening to what the students want to accomplish. Around Peter our son feels comfortable asking questions and trying new things. Peter is a person who is friendly, receptive and at the same time very professional. He is readily available even outside of the scheduled lesson times, if our son has any questions. He is a very experienced guitar teacher and a very pleasant person to get to know.

Pete is an absolutely exceptional teacher and an even more wonderful human being. His patience, kindness, and passion and are only surpassed by his astonishing talent both as a guitarist and an instructor - I can’t recommend him highly enough! He has been teaching my 13 year old son for quite some time now, and he has become a life role model as much as he is his most treasured teacher. Whether you’re just starting out or are looking to hone your already-great skills, look no further than Pete’s JAF Guitar School - you’re home!!

Pete is the most technically astute teacher I have encountered as a student of music. His knowledge of music theory is remarkable. During our time together, Pete had the answers to all my questions. He also put together short and long term goals that were revisited weekly to ensure I progressed quickly. I would highly recommend Pete for any guitar student passionate about music.

Pete is devoted to his calling and to the power of music and had an amazing ability to unlock anyone’s musical potential.... Our daughter is growing into the person we knew she was created to be and Pete has been a part of that. He has helped her build confidence with her guitar, learn new skills with confidence ... Pete is an incredible teacher that I can’t recommend enough...( Bianca ~ parent )Pete has taught me the fundamentals of guitar with ease and has made every step of the way exciting and fun. He has kept me interested from my first lesson almost three years ago and still has my full commitment and interest today. Through practice Pete has taught me the patience that comes from never getting too hard on yourself when you make a mistake. He has also taught me never to give up when something seems impossibly hard or impossibly fast. I can not imagine anyone else as my teacher.(Isabella ~ student )
