My daughters have been in violin lessons with several different online teachers over the years. Comparing them to Peter, he’s beyond excellent. He is patient, professional, and follows up every lesion with a summary of what was covered. This is what Is on par with a college course. Beyond excellent!

About Peter Ko, Cellist
Hi! Hope you're having a nice day so far. I’m Peter Ko, a professional cellist based in San Diego. I’m currently a Doctoral Candidate at UC San Diego, where I study, perform, and teach full-time. As a cellist, have had the fortune of being a part of many special musical experiences, which have involved things like performing as a soloist with local orchestras, serving as principal cellist for the La Jolla Symphony, performing across the North American and European continents, and many other things. You can find more of my performer bio in my personal page As a teacher, I am dedicated to give my students the best instruction that they can get, with their own unique set of goals and circumstances in mind. I provide a thorough structure and understanding of what it means to play the cello, how to consistently create and develop a beautiful tone, and how to manage the learning process through considered and structured methods. My students have held top seats in their orchestras, have won auditions into esteemed music schools, summer festivals, and local youth orchestras. Beyond just learning to perform as a great cellist, my students also learn skills and concepts that can be applied more broadly in their daily lives, so that they can find success in whatever they do! Due to the nature of my academic work, I also work extensively as a writer, and have helped many students with their writing, at all levels including that of the university level. I can provide insight and ideas about how to improve one's writing process, as well as correcting and proofing one's writing as needed. Writing can be a difficult process but it can be intensely rewarding as the skill is developed, and I am more than happy to help that process along. Teaching is a very fulfilling experience for me; it is very satisfying for me to see my students grow and develop in positive ways, and to see them transform as individuals overall.

Hes very focused on skill improvement. I'm a beginner and I've been treated with great respect and on a professional level. Peter loves his music and that translates.
He is a great teacher. Patient, knowledgeable and great personality.
Peter is a true professional and really digs into the foundation and fundamentals for the new performer. He works very diligently with the student one on one and is consistently striving for excellence. Peter comes highly recommended.
We had a trial with Peter and he showed his professionalisms. Th interaction with my son was well. After class, he summarized what he taught in email.
