As a mum, the most important thing to me is that my child feels comfortable and encouraged, and Peter's patience is truly amazing. It’s clear he genuinely care about his students and love teaching. Thank you Peter!

Peter is very good teacher,He is extremely patient with children and very professional in teaching.
We have never experienced such a perfect musical match. Under Peter’s guidance, our daughter’s love of music has been beautifully nurtured, and her piano technique has progressed remarkably in a very short period of time.
Peter is an exceptional piano teacher with a rare ability to identify technical weaknesses and address them through precisely chosen exercises and repertoire. His teaching is grounded in strong classical European piano traditions and informed by a broad range of international teaching approaches. This depth of expertise has significantly strengthened our daughter’s musicianship, musical literacy, and appreciation of music as an art form.
What truly distinguishes Peter is his calm, intuitive, and highly skilled teaching approach. He creates a supportive learning environment in which focus is gently guided, confidence is built, and progress occurs naturally without pressure. In just two months, our daughter’s piano skills advanced substantially, and she even composed two original pieces under his mentorship, a testament to his ability to foster both technical excellence and creative expression.
The studio is world class, featuring a selection of high-quality pianos and instruments within a fully soundproofed, thoughtfully designed teaching space that supports focused and effective learning.
Due to the exceptional quality of Peter’s teaching, we have also introduced vocal training, which has complemented piano studies seamlessly. This integrated approach has further strengthened musicianship, ear training, and expressive performance.
We highly recommend Theodore’s School of Music to anyone seeking professional, personalised, and high-calibre music instruction. Peter’s teaching is outstanding, and the standard of education he provides is truly exceptional.

Peter is a talented musician and amazing piano teacher, he has excellent piano skills and technique. He patiently improve and correct my son piano skills and bad habits, always come out methods to help him on fingering. Peter also an excellent vocal teacher and he always tries to arrange songs that my son interested on. After a year of lesson my boy have a good progress, We are sad that he wasn't our son's first piano teacher, but it's not too late and we are glad to have him now. Diana great organise and prompt replying questions via email.

Peter is a great teacher. He has provided a solid piano foundation to my 4 year old. He also enabled him to practice at home by lending him a keyboard until we procured our own and is always so patient and kind. Diana is great at organising. They are a wonderful family.

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.

E Morrison
Peter has been teaching our boys for the last month and it has been a wonderful experience for them. Both have different learning styles and Peter has been able to adapt to each and has the patience of a saint. Very awesome Music classes we're hoping to have the boys as students for a long time to come.

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.
Lina Laezza
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!!

Fantastic teaching
Grace
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!!!🥰

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.
Chris P
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.
Joanne Lin
Peter is a very patient, wonderful, and professional piano teacher. being his student is the best decision this year. From his piano class, my daughter not only learned the technics also discovered the joy that playing the piano brings to her life.

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
Stephen Harrod
We have taken our grandson and granddaughter to have lessons with Peter who was fabulous with them both. To say Peter talented is an understatement he is a true professional but also so understanding with difficult people. Peter humanity down to tee, his knowledge of music and singing PERFECT, I would recommend Peter to anyone who wants to learn music and singing. A true gentleman
