Peter’s bio:
I began playing the double bass at the age of 16 (after playing the clarinet since elementary school) when the director of my high school jazz ensemble asked if anyone would be interested in playing bass. After playing electric bass it was suggested that I learn the string bass and soon after I began orchestral studies. Within a year I knew I wanted to go into the field of music, and becoming a music teacher was the perfect choice for me. I received my Bachelor's of Music in Music Education from the Crane School of Music in 1996.
After that I taught strings in the public schools for grades 4 - 12 in Northern New York and have been adjunct faculty for 'cello and double bass at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. In 2000 I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign with a Master's in Double Bass Performance, studying with Michael Cameron.
I am currently a string teacher in suburban Chicago where I teach string lessons in grades 3 - 8 and conduct the middle school concert and chamber orchestras. I also lead an Irish ensemble and a bass quartet.
I perform around the greater Chicago area with many orchestra and rock bands around the city. In 2000 I appeared on the Bozo Super Sunday Show to give a presentation and performance on the double bass. In the spring of 2003 I was the guest soloist for District 212 (playing the Vanhal concerto) and in spring of 2004 I performed at Symphony Center's Orchestra Hall with the Polish American Symphony Orchestra of Chicago.
I have attended classes with Michael Hovnanian of the Chicago Symphony, John Chiego, Hal Robinson of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Scott Haigh of the Cleveland Symphony, Stewart Arfman, and Erik Harris.
I have been published several in American String Teacher as well as websites around the world.
