Guitar, Bass and Voice Lesson Testimonials

Someone else on my church’s worship team mentioned that they were taking guitar lessons from Peter, and I had been looking for an instructor so I took a chance and Peter said he’d be glad to help out. It’s been a lot of fun. I really enjoy playing along with him when I’m at my lessons. One of my favorite lessons is when we went to the beach. I was so jazzed up afterwards that I actually stayed at the beach and played for another two hours after that – it felt great! 
Peter has always made me feel very comfortable. He doesn’t judge me for not doing all my work. (He just accepts me where I’m at and helps me move forward from there.) The best thing for me is that Peter doesn’t let me give up, even when I feel like it. He is always very encouraging and helpful. I’m looking forward to many lessons to come…

Dear Peter,
Seaira and I have been taking guitar lessons with you for a while now, and we just wanted you to know how excited we are, and how much fun you have made it for the both of us. Not being from a musical back ground and having no prior experience with guitar lessons , it was real important we found a teacher with some patience with us. You have been wonderful, patient and most of all very supportive with us as beginners. we look forward to our lessons with you and will refer you to our friends. We enjoy the way you let us pick our style of music and have fun with the lessons. My daughter counts down the days before she gets to see you for her next lesson and that tells me how much she likes you and enjoys your style and lessons.
Thank you Peter.
~ Victoria & Seaira

It is so amazing to play songs I have loved for years. Peter is a gifted teacher who inspires me to grow musically. In the first lesson, Peter and I made a list of songs I wanted to learn, then, he matched songs to my skill level. Learning the songs increased my understanding of the fretboard, scales and introduced me to new techniques. As I developed, more songs followed. Peter has also opened my eyes to different artists, and he has taught me to analyze songs and appreciate music on several new levels. Patient and kind, Peter is always supportive and gently corrects me, asking, "Are you sure?" At the end of every lesson he prints out feedback, exercises and songs for me to work on during the week. My lesson book is now an inch thick and growing. Thank you Peter, your music lesson is the best part of my week. You are awesome!

"I came to Peter Rhee in Feb. of 2006 with absolutely no musical DNA in my background. It was a little daunting at first to be such a novice at guitar even though the idea of learning guitar was a secret passion I've had for quite a while. Peter knows the process of setting realistic goals with students and understands how to proceed towards those goals in a way that motivated me to practice. As an x-pro athlete and teacher myself, I understand how valuable that ability is in order to help someone improve at something and to the learning process in general! Peter is also an incredibly well rounded musician and has a such a comprehensive background with the many genres and history of music that I can see how he so capably works with such a wide variety of individuals and their often eclectic tastes in music. His non confrontational style and easy going demeanor makes each and every lesson a true joy! I am playing a variety of songs with some confidence and feel like I can actually play guitar ~ whether it is really painful to my own or any else's ears is not such a concern for me now!"

Without hesitation I would highly recommend that my good friends, family and anyone else I care about take their guitar lessons with Peter Rhee.
From day one, Peter helped me to establish my objective and set goals and he has provided me with all the necessary tools to accomplish them. My main objective was to play and sing and to be able to “move” people with music.
I’m already doing these things, and as I continue to learn it just gets more fun and more exciting!
I can now jam with friends and even entertain at parties!
Peter has taught me not only how to play guitar, he has also taught me about musicianship. He is very detail oriented and has taught me the importance of rhythm, dynamics, vocals and many other skills that are important for becoming more than just another mediocre guitar player.
I still take lessons with Peter and after 2 years, every session continues to be an enjoyable experience.”

“Peter helped me gain self-confidence in my singing ability. Instilling confidence through proper vocal technique is one of the most important things an instructor can teach a student. Peter is relentless in making sure you never back away from reaching your full potential. He teaches you to meet challenges in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.”

“Peter is the most patient and giving voice instructor and friend. My voice improved tremendously over our time together.”
~ Leslie H.

I have fun learning about different styles of music. Peter is a patient teacher and the lessons are always fun.

“Thanks to the vocal instruction of Peter Rhee, my voice has been strengthened. I have been able to develop more control and coordination, especially my upper register. Peter has the ability to clarify abstract concepts of music and vocal technique into practical steps that can help anyone grow as a singer.”
