Peter is an exceptional guitarist and an excellent teacher. He has a great ability to break a lesson or topic down into sections to convey it in a way that is easy to understand and remember. Peter works with me to assess my guitar playing ability and develop a lesson structure to improve my skills, gain music theory knowledge, and have fun. Since Peter’s lessons are designed around me and my individual learning pace, I have drastically improved by abilities. I highly recommend Peter to anyone who is interested in learning guitar in a relaxed atmosphere with a teacher who is focused on providing students with a solid base of skills and theory to meet their individual goals.

As a 53 yr-old professional, with wide international experience under my belt, I can say this:I’ve achieved many things in my life, some exciting, some unusual. Amongst my accomplishments, the one thing I could never count, although I’ve always loved music, was any level of understanding of music theory …until I met and started working with Peter.Ten months in, my level of confidence has risen dramatically under Peter’s wise and thoughtful guidance. I am at the start of my journey into significantly enhanced understanding of the guitar and how to develop and grow. I am convinced beyond any doubt that I could be in no better hands than those of Peter Smith as I enjoy moving forward on this wonderful ride.

Peter Smith is a fantastic teacher! Having been friends with one of his old students – one of the best guitarists my age, and through seeing the development in myself, Peter Smith’s teachings are ideal for any guitar player! His jazz influences combined with his vast knowledge of the guitar fret-board makes his playing style one of a kind – a style that any guitar player no matter how advanced could learn from.

I am more than happy to recommend music teacher Peter Smith. His relaxed manner and astute direction teaching guitar to my daughter Sofia has been a great success. Under his training, Sofia is not only learning to play the guitar beautifully, she is learning to love and cherish music itself.

Peter Smith teaches my son, 14 years old, and is not only excellent technically, skills and drills, but more importantly an excellent mentor. The second is the key component, as I will only surround my family with quality people. Peter is patient, and is able to keep the lesson current and relevant to my son’s progression. Peter Smith is a pleasure to know, he brings out the best in my son, he is a fantastic teacher. My family recommends Peter highly.

Peter has provided lessons to me for the past several years. As an adult student, I find Peter to be an exceptional teacher. He teaches a great mix of theory and technique, with time always allowed to learn and play songs of personal interest. He is willing to learn unfamiliar songs to be able to teach them to me and is great at suggesting songs that I enjoy. He challenges me to improve my skills, while being patient as I practice. Finally, he is flexible and accommodating, which is very helpful for my busy schedule. I would recommend Peter without hesitation.

Peter Smith is an amazing guitar player and teacher. I had the pleasure of studying with Peter for 5 years, and in those 5 years he helped me to grow and discover myself musically. Peter is a very versatile guitar player, and he can help you improve your playing in any style; jazz, rock, blues, classical, and everything in between. Peter helped me develop my technique and skill through the study of repertoire. This allowed me to play exactly what I enjoyed and it kept me interested and excited. Peter is very supportive and encouraging, and he will teach you anything you want to learn. Whether you’re learning guitar just for fun, or taking it to the advanced level and striving to become a professional musician, Peter is a wicked awesome teacher!

Having had the honour of being in his audience for over 15 years, I consider Peter to be intrinsically talented and pure pleasure to hear. He is focused, patient and a consummate professional. Never one to waste your time or money, he truly loves what he does.

I have had Peter as a guitar teacher for 3 years and I enjoy my lessons with him. He makes learning guitar fun and keeps me interested by working with me and teaching me songs that I enjoy listening to. I feel confident after my lessons and eager to practice what was taught.

Peter has been instructing my 12 year old daughter in guitar for the past 1.5 years. My daughter loves her weekly lessons because Peter adapts popular songs to her abilities and she can perform them while accompanying herself. During the pandemic we continued classes though Zoom, and it worked out so well, that we will not be able to justify driving her to class again.
