Growing up in a family of professional musicians and educators, Peter fell in love with teaching because it offered a unique opportunity for personal growth while empowering students at the same time. Over the years, he has been fortunate to teach students who have won competitions and continued to pursue music professionally in conservatories like Eastman and Juilliard. 

 

While that is very gratifying, Peter loves staying in touch with former students who pursued different careers and learning that they have kept music as a very rewarding part of their life.

 

Peter have been teaches privately for almost three decades and have been on the faculty at Messiah University, Shenandoah Conservatory and the Levine School of Music. He has also given quite a few masterclasses in the US and abroad, both as a violinist and chamber musician. 

 

From 2006 to 2019, Peter ran a week-long summer chamber music program for young performers and composers, which he co-founded at Messiah University. Recently, he has joined the faculty at the Kennedy Center’s Washington Musical Pathways Initiative, which is a talent development program for high school students from underserved populations interested in pursuing advanced study in music.
