No matter where your musicianship is at, if you wanna get to the next level and beyond, Pete's your guy. He is absolutely profound at meeting you where you're at and making complex theory and technique easily accessible. The staggering wealth of knowledge and expertise he brings to the table is unmatched. Highest recommendation.

I've had many piano teachers in my life but Peter Shu stands out as the one who helped me step up my skill level. He knew how to challenge and encourage me. Shu introduced me to new styles (jazz) and drew resources from my musical preferences (classical & pop). He also helped book my first gig! Shu is a versatile and knowledgeable teacher! I highly recommend him to students of all levels and musical backgrounds.
