For May, we would like to feature Cory Peters. Having "saved the day" so many times as a substitute teacher when emergencies hit our regular staff, Cory likely holds the record for the most students taught at Music Time Academy. After being our hero for so long, we could not be more excited to have Cory in the studios regularly on Sundays, teaching just about any instrument.    

A man of so many varied musical talents, Cory is experienced and passionate in just about all things music, regardless of any particular instrument or genre. Despite having already completed years of studies on piano, guitar, bass, ukulele, viola and flute, Cory continues to pursue his own musical growth as not just a teacher of music, but also a student. He currently studies at the respected Diablo Valley College Music Department, with plans to transfer to the California Conservatory of Jazz. Some of Cory's private instructors include reputable Bay Area guitarists Dave Schroeder, Mike Williams and Mark Simons, and pianist Bob Foxcraft.   

Cory is a native to the Bay Area, born in San Francisco, raised in Daly City and currently residing in Bay Point. He is influenced by musicians from many genres (rock, blues, jazz, metal, classical, etc.) including Jimi Hendrix, Sylvain Luc, Tuck Andress, Andres Segovia, Paco De Lucia, Bill Evans, George Benson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck and many more. Cory focuses on teaching his students concepts of technique, improvisation, ear training and music reading.
