Peter offers workshops on music improvisation. The main thrust of the workshops is to show musicians how to pay attention to their own voice and develop their own vocabulary rather than concentrating on the ideas of other composers.

Although workshops can emphasize different aspects of improvisation and styles of music, Peter’s specialty is helping instrumentalists who have little experience improvising music, especially classically trained musicians, to open the door to music improvisation and reach their own voice by finding a different way to approach their instrument.

The methods are not genre specific, ie the workshops do not intend to teach "jazz" per se but are focused on showing players how to play their instrument from within rather than the repertoire of other composers. As a result students can use these methods to improvise any style of music as well as for ways to generate musical ideas and write songs, etc.

Peter is an experienced teacher having taught at the unversity and high school level as well as mentoring hundreds of students, adults and kids, individually.
