Your Instructor - Peter Hostage
Hello, I'm Peter Hostage, the creator of the Piano Guide Books and Piano Guide. I received my musical education from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, and on stages throughout New England playing jazz, blues, rock, classical and more.
I've been teaching piano to adults for over 40 years, and I discovered what really works to help my students learn piano with less difficulty, less time, but with more fun.
I created Piano Guide because I found that many of the adult lesson books available were basically the publishers' "kids" books dressed up to look more “adult.” Their methods lacked the thorough music theory information that my lessons provide that will help you learn music faster, with a deeper understanding of what you are playing. Piano Guide's lessons also provide a larger quantity of music to play, and much more variety, including classical, jazz, rock, folk, blues Latin and more.
With my fun and easy-to-follow Piano Guide system, which includes video, text and audio files, you get the next best thing to having private lessons! But, what's even better is, you can have the lessons right there in your home, whenever you want to take a lesson! And you can repeat the lesson as often as you like!
Piano Guide's mission is to provide you with a thorough, step-by-step piano education that is easy, fun and convenient. Start playing piano today and you'll soon enjoy entertaining yourself, your family and your friends!
Piano Guide is the "next best thing to private lessons!"
"I am new to music and I have bought 4-5 DVD/CD piano lesson programs, but your books and video lessons are the best I have found out of the many I have tried! The lessons ARE easy for beginners and you explain things just enough - not so much that I'm lost or overwhelmed, but enough so I understand what I am doing and why, and how to do it right."

"I must say that your teaching quality is second to none. It has helped me to progress quickly and efficiently. I would recommend your lessons to anyone who wants to learn. The value of these lessons is so good I would have had to pay much more money to have a teacher over here in the UK!"

"When I joined Piano Guide Lessons I was worried I might not have enough time to dedicate to lessons. But I am chugging along and enjoying my progress! What surprised me most about the lessons is that although they may seem at first too difficult to master, I definitely improve each time I practice them! I've found that these lessons are the next best thing to having a piano teacher actually sitting with you for your lessons!”

"Before starting Piano Guide Lessons, I was concerned whether I could actually stick to my practice schedule and not slacken off. But I've done remarkably well with that I'm happy to say. I'm pleased with the way you demonstrate fingerings etc. in the videos. Also - you don't pressure me to move on to something more complicated before I'm ready. I have recommended Piano Guide Lessons to my friends because I've been learning well, if slowly, and that is exactly what I need.”
