About your piano teacher

I'm Peter Wentworth, a seasoned piano tutor with over 8 years of experience and a Bachelor's degree in music. My forte lies in teaching a wide array of subjects such as Piano, Grand Piano, and Electric Keyboard to students of all levels. I specialize in various aspects including Chord Theory, Ear Training, Improvisation, and Performance Skills. My personalized approach focuses on honing advanced techniques, theory, and composition tailored to each student's needs, whether they are kids, beginners, or adults.

Beyond the keys, I revel in exploring diverse musical genres and crafting original pieces. My goal as a tutor is not just to impart knowledge but to ignite a passion for music in my students, helping them unlock their full potential in a supportive and engaging environment. Embark on this musical journey with me and discover the joy of playing the piano at any level. Let's create harmonious melodies together!

The teaching approach of Peter in the Marina District is truly special. Instead of just focusing on getting the notes right he seems to cultivate a deeper musicality in his students. Learning on a baby grand piano must be inspiring and its fantastic to have lessons with him I would highly recommend everyone who is looking for piano lessons to him.
