Student Testimonials
Peter has been by far my favorite teacher I have ever had in my entire school career. I do not say that lightly as he has made a bigger impact on my life than I could ever have imagined. He has constantly encouraged me through new ideas and through careful instruction. He has taken my overall understanding of both piano and songwriting to the next level and I will be forever grateful for that. His continuous support has been a drive for me to expand my musical arsenal and create the unique music that I do. However the thing that I enjoyed about him the most was that he never constricted my creativity and allowed me to produce the music of my choice.
I was already a working professional pianist when I came to study with Dr. Stoltzman, and was looking to expand my skillset and refine my craft. Lessons with Peter did all that and more; the exercises that Dr. Stoltzman taught me helped to immediately improve my technique and ear, and through our weekly lessons, I grew tremendously as a musician, composer, and human being. I'm now much more satisfied with my piano playing, am able to make more money doing what I love, and have a much deeper understanding and appreciation of the musical arts. Peter is not only a world-class musician - he is also an incredibly gifted teacher, and has a way of conveying ideas and concepts so that anyone can understand them. I was so lucky to have had the opportunity to study with Dr. Stoltzman - lessons with Peter changed my life forever!
I can't thank you enough, I honestly feel that this was one of the most valuable learning experiences of my life, as a musician and a human.
Peter has easily been the best piano teacher that I've ever had. He cares deeply about inspiring you to be better rather than just teaching and going through the motions. From Logic play alongs to live performances to composition projects, he has brought me from a very poor piano player to someone who is much more confident on my instrument.
Peter is fantastic! He is inspiring. He is patient. He quickly diagnoses what issues I’m having with a composition or improvisation and gets me on track for improvement. I always look forward to my lessons — they are a highlight of my week.
