Peter set the perfect tone for our 'What Women Want' Event & Fundraiser at The Grange Venue by playing the most beautiful piano music in the Marble Bar as we welcomed our guests. His music added a truly special touch, and we received so many lovely... compliments from our attendees upon arrival. Peter arrived just as we were putting the final touches on the event and, with such grace, sat at the piano and began to play. The stress we were feeling immediately faded as the soothing music filled the room, elevating the atmosphere to one of elegance and calm. We are incredibly grateful to Peter for his contribution and highly recommend him for any event or celebration where you want that extra touch of sophistication.read more

Peter has astonishing talent teaching piano. At the first day I didn’t expect he will gave bunch notes sheets, and piano theory books to borrow. It keeps me motivated and to learn at home. I might not a fast learner and Peter always find the way to... teach in his style to make me understand the theory, and all piano techniques. It’s been 7x times learn from the best (him). I believe essential to have piano teacher who has experiences in music industry. Never too late to learn piano, I’m adult, have full time job and Petre very helpful to make me feel non discourage and keep improving my piano skills. Thanks Pet for you teaching style, listening skill, and patient. There’s always something in new every week.read more

I have only had a few sessions with Peter and have found his sessions to be wonderful and helpful! Peter has a very warm and welcoming energy, which comes through in his 1:1 sessions. I feel this is a very important quality in a teacher as it... helps the student to feel comfortable and free to explore the voice! Peter has a rich musical background that traverses many cultural traditions, and this has been a huge inspiration for me as I love the diversity of various vocal cultures from around the world. Peter seems to have a natural ability to find the natural "colours" of the voice, and has a keen eye in applying techniques to bring richness to all areas of the voice. I have been loving my sessions with Peter, and always leave my session feeling uplifted and inspired! Thank you Peter! Also, Diana has been a pleasure to communicate with. She is kind and patient and I always feel supported by her amazing communication and commitment to this work. Thank you!!read more

Peter is not only a great musician, also a great music/piano teacher！！！With 3 months time, Peter has improved my daughter in each piano lesson they have,and has even encouraged her to be more confident in singing which is a true Miracle!!! My... daughter said, "Before I met Peter, I would've known half the things I knows now .Peter is very patient very gentle. He teaching new tequniques also picking up on little bad habbits that I never thought would have such a great impact!" Yes, my daughter started to learn piano with other teachers for 2 yrs, we found that wasn't the right way for learning piano....Luckily, we finally got Peter !!! I feel great honored for my daughter being one of the students of Peter!!! If only Peter would be my daughter's first piano teacher 2 yrs ago.. I believe the story will be totally different!!! Thanks Peter! Much Much appreciated for your help with my daughter ❤️! I hope my daughter will keep enjoying the musical journey with Peter, and sincerely recommend the Musical master ---Peter Teodorescu---for all the piano/vocal learners, You never feel regret for this decision!!!🥰read more

My son has ADHD and can be hard to keep motivated for the entire lesson but Peter is able to keep him engaged the whole time and his singing has improved dramatically since starting with Peter.

Peter has a fantastic talent at both vocals and piano, and was very easy to work with. In just a short time he improved my vocal form, and greatly expanded my songwriting and composition ability. Peter was able to change the way I think about... approaching composition in a very valuable way.read more

Extremely knowledgeable and helped me a lot, not just with my singing but also understanding the details of how and why we sing a certain way. He also helped me understand some music theory as well

Having previously heard Peter play and appreciating his talent as a pianist , I was nervous before my first lesson and reluctant to play piano for anyone after neglecting my practice for so long; however , Peter was well prepared with finger... exercises and theory examples to take away and patiently helpful .His thorough knowledge and experience were reassuring and his manner encouraging and positive. I came away with plenty of strategies to develop and refine the pieces I'd had difficulty mastering . Thank you Peter!read more

Peter performed a mini concert for us at our CPSA - everyone was in awe and praised his talent - he played anything we requested. We were all impressed and surprised that he doesn't use sheet music at all - he plays everything from memory!

My children started piano lessons with Peter in the middle of this year. As a previous piano teacher, I had quite high expectations and wanted a teacher who was able to teach good technique but also be patient and understanding given the pandemic... and each of my children's different learning styles.Peter has met all of these expectations. He has provided lessons online (during early COVID days) and then later in my home, which has allowed me to continue working from home while my kids were learning. As a full time worker this has been amazing, as otherwise I would not have been able to take my children to lessons.During this first term both my children have learned to play piano with left and right hands, reading both treble and bass clef, and my daughter has been having some singing lessons as well. Peter has been very patient and modified his teaching style to accommodate each of my children's varying attention spans, talents, and interests. My daughter now runs and plays any piano she sees, and has become confident to sing in front of other people. My son sometimes plays till late at night to master a song he loves that Peter has gone to the trouble to find and listen to then notate for him (I don't think Yum Yum Hammerpaw from Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is a standard request!).Diana has been very prompt to reply to questions via email, and communicated about holidays, and provided bookings for my calendar when we have had zoom lessons. The monthly invoices are easier to budget for than paying a term upfront when swimming and other school bills are due.I have recommended Peter to my family and friends, due to his friendly nature, the skills my kids have developed, and his flexibility to provide lessons in my home. But mostly it's been a joy watching my children love playing the piano like I do.read more

After trying lessons with other teachers in the past, I have been learning piano with Peter this year and I feel confident to say he is the best out there.I am always excited about what we learn and how inspirational he is in his classes. He has a... passion for sharing his musical knowledge and experience, and he knows a very broad context of music – including European classical and also other genres. Despite being an incredible musician, he is very humble and I always enjoy both conversation and learning with him. He is very flexible, he has his methodology but is always happy to adapt to what you want – for example if you want to learn a specific piece of music.Learning with Peter is like opening a door to an abundance of experience and culture. I am an adult learner, but I can see from his manner that he would be a fantastic teacher for children too.read more

My son started a trial lesson two months ago and he got some feedback and evaluation from Peter. That he is ready to start learning piano lessons. Its been about 8-10 classes now and my son is going quite well. He is improving his concentration and... piano skill day by day. We are happy with Peter's experience on teaching, his piano skills and his patience on my son. Since I am able to attend the lesson with my son sometime so I am really happy that Peter and Diana communicate with me via email about my son's progress and providing suggestions on how to improve my son's piano skills.We are happy with Peter and Diana and we will recommend friends and family if they are interested in gaining music skills.read more

Peter Teodorescu is an absolute pure musician and an excellent pianist, among the few or even the only guy who is able to sing like the great Siminica. There is much to be said about Peter - not only because he has perfect pitch. I worked with him... on the show 'Your Face Sounds Familiar' where he was responsible for setting the individual contestant's key to ensure that their TV performance would be optimal.I have been pleasantly surprised that he is able to hear the smallest detail - that even the show's executive producer has said that no-one will ever match Peter's skills.Every detail was explained in depth and the keys were perfect for our band and our competitors. I'm extremely proud to have worked with someone that knows so much about music and singing and has been such an invaluable asset to the show, and extremely proud to have such a good friend.read more

I have had the pleasure of performing with Peter twice in the past year and he has also acted as my vocal coach, giving me tips and tricks to improve my signing and my... confidence to perform. I cannot recommend Peter highly enough, he is truly a talented musician and the perfect choice for people of all ages looking to learn piano or singing.read more
