Pete's style of teaching is integrative.  He plays with his students.  He teaches them music theory and music history as it pertains to the instrument and the music.  He offers his students a rounded experience, underscoring performance, the fundamental of music playing.  His students "sound good!"

To his teaching Pete brings a wealth of experience from a life of playing a variety of music--Swing, Latin, Latin Jazz, Jazz, Classical--with an array of groups, ensembles and bands, at a variety of venues, from clubs, to weddings, to corporate events and more.
