Theresa Peterson
Theresa Peterson is a musician and music educator originally from Texas, proud to now call Colorado home. Starting her musical journey at age 3 with the violin, Theresa soon picked up viola and guitar by age 11. She has also picked up other string instruments such as ukulele along her journey and performs regularly with all of these instruments. She has experience and training in both classical and improvisational styles, from performing classical pieces as part of an orchestra or symphony to fiddling in various local bands.
Following in the footsteps of the wonderful teachers who raised her, Theresa began teaching lessons at age 12 and has since had many students of all ages. Theresa has taught at several summer music camps where she also gained experience teaching classes for violin and viola. In Texas, she often attended Texas Music Educators Conference to further her education and to learn techniques for teaching others.
Her approach to teaching is individualized to each person and their goals, with the idea that we all have our own paths to music, and the desire to help anyone who wishes to make music do so in whatever way works for them. Music has been a constant and invaluable part of her life, and she is committed to sharing this joy and helping others make music a part of their life as well.
In addition to being a lifelong string instrumentalist and performer, Theresa is also an accomplished singer-songwriter and performs regularly in Boulder and other northern Colorado towns. She also occasionally contributes violin and vocals to local bands such as Foxfeather.

Christopher has been blessed to front his own band, to learn and perform incredible music with some of his best friends, and to live a life that has been full of wonder and new connections and friendships.

His teaching style is fun and patient, and focuses not just on technique and theory, but the innate connection we have with music; why do we feel emotionally touched by certain notes or moments in a song? His goal is to help students of all interests connect their inner passion, their experiences, and their hearts with their instrument to bring the experience of playing music to a whole new level.
He has toured the country and recorded albums playing with some of his favorite independent bands as a drummer, bassist and guitarist, such as progressive metal group Beatrix Potter, indie folk band The Accidental Seabirds, and hard rock group Baron Praxis.
