I have been teaching for over 30 years, with literally hundreds of students now enjoying music, many who have gone on to be professionals themselves. I have also written piano and guitar instruction books and have made Cds of original and classic jazz, blues and R&B. I teach at my home studio, complete with all of the instruments and a comfortable waiting area.

Piano Lessons
Report
Peter Hostage teaches piano to children and adults, from beginners to advanced students. Children can start piano lessons at around age 5, though some children have the finger control to play the keys and the concentration to stay focused for the full half hour at age 4. For adults, it’s never too late to learn to play piano!
Voice Lessons
Report
Peter Hostage offers voice lessons for children and adults. Children can start singing lessons usually at around age nine, and younger students are encouraged to take a combination of piano and singing lessons. Young singers' vocal chords are still developing, so a less structured approach is recommended. For adults: it's never too late to learn to sing!

My son loves his guitar lessons with Peter! Peter is great with him and has been super flexible during this time in uncharted waters (switching over to remote learning using Zoom). It is the highlight of son’s week! We cannot wait to return back to normalcy, but practicing guitar with Peter every week brings a smile to my son’s face... Even if it is over the computer!

Peter has got to be one of the nicest people I know. He's an awesome teacher and has so much patience. He pushes you just enough to prove to yourself you can do it. He encourages you to continue to want to learn and move forward. I would recommend Peter to teach any age student. I'm 58 years old. I've been in Peter's studio waiting room waiting for my appointed time in the past and have seen him teaching young children. He's great with them as well. Dave

I started taking lessons with Peter way back in middle school, if memory serves. Here I am today, 20 years old, still taking lessons. Peter is highly skilled in almost any instrument you could think of, and is one of the best music teachers you could hope to find! From kids to adults, anyone looking to learn how to play piano, guitar, bass, drums, voice or anything else you might be interested in, Peter's your guy!

I started guitar lessons with Peter about two years ago, shortly before my 69th birthday, and am still at it. This has been one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences in my life, thanks to the patience and encouragement from a very skilled and versatile musician and teacher. I have been able to move along at my own pace on acoustic and electric guitars and look forward to many more years of lessons with Peter.

Peter is an excellent teacher and Emily has really excelled these last few years. His patience is impressive and his skills are incredible (this guy can PLAY). I am very happy I decided to enroll Emily in his music program. I expect great things from her in the future and I know Peter can get her there.
