Pete

Parent Google Review: R Leflore 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"...My daughter looks forward to her lesson every week and is advancing all the time!  Pete is amazing, my 14 year old loves her guitar lessons. Thank you Pete and Join the Band for all the music!​​​​​​​

Pete acquired his Bachelor of Science Music Major at Mercy College and The Westchester Conservatory of Music

With over 20 years of teaching, and real-world professional guitar playing experience, Pete can tailor a lesson 
plan just for you.

Pete excels with beginners to bring them up to their first performance, helping a teenager play 
in their first band, preparing a student for music college, or simply playing at a level that they’re 
happy with. 

Pete is committed to helping guitar students learn and enjoy the process of learning, and finds it extremely gratifying to guide them through the process and help them reach their goals.

Michael

Parent/Student Google Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

A Vattano​​​​​​​

"Michael is a really great teacher and I have learned a lot in his class. Besides his great teaching skills he also has a great personality and good sense of humor! Jammin out with hi is the best - S Vattano"

Michael is a guitarist and gifted singer/songwriter who believes that the power of expression through music is something everyone should experience. He makes learning music fun by focusing on the goals and needs of each individual student.

Michael attended the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and graduated from Idywild Arts Academy. 

As a songwriter, Michael has developed a deep appreciation and passion for individuality and creativity in music.

No genre or style of music is off the table for Michael.  His playing is strongly influenced by Rock’n’Roll, R&B, and jazz, but he is also comfortable with country and folk styles, and even classical Indian styles.
