Peter Rossiter BMus (Hons) Grad RNCM, AdvPgDip (Birmingham) Pg (Budapest)



I am a highly experienced teacher and performer. I received a highly specialist musical education which I pass on to all of my students. I tailor my lessons to suit each individual student's needs. My students have ranged from complete beginner to diploma standard and from 5 years old plus.

Some of my students learn for a hobby and some intend to take it further. All can be catered for.
