As a student of the Jazz Studies Program at Juilliard (BM, 2019-2023), Peter was guided by a number of jazz drumming greats including Billy Drummond and Kenny Washington.

For several years, Peter studied with drummer and composer, Don Peretz, who helped him flourish as a drummer and musician. In addition to having a mentor and strong high school music experience, Peter studied and traveled extensively as a member of important jazz programs including Jazz House Kids in Montclair, NJ; Vail Jazz Workshop/Festival, Vail, CO; Young Arts NYC; and was twice accepted into the prestigious Next Generation Big Band which traveled to Japan in 2018 as part of the Tokyo Jazz Festival.

Currently residing in NYC, Peter has performed at Dizzy’s-Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Alice Tully Concert Hall, The Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Ornithology, Nublu, The Django, National Sawdust and many other notable venues. Peter also currently teaches private lessons, where he finds immense joy in watching his students progress as musicians and individuals.
