About Peter
Hello! I am Dr Peter Falconer, and I want to help you live a more creative life! Teaching is a passion for me, particularly when we get the chance to break down our ideas about music and creativity, and really unlock your potential.
I am originally from Hartlepool, Co. Durham, but have lived in London and Surrey since 2002. I have a PhD in Music Composition from the University of Southampton, and am an active composer and music producer, writing for soloists and ensembles across the UK, US and Europe. I have been creating music in one form or another for nearly 40 years, and currently lecture at both the University of Southampton and Goldsmiths, University of London. I also regularly perform live on piano, drums, electronics, vocals, and Northumbrian smallpipes, with which I appeared on Series 2 of "Outsiders" (Dave) with Phil Wang, Fatiha El-Ghorri and David Mitchell. For several years I was also the vocalist and lyricist for acclaimed prog-metal band Drifting Sun.
When not making and teaching music, I am a writer, podcaster, horror film nut, and butler to my cat, Bootsy Collins.

Whatever subject I am teaching, my approach is always relaxed and student-centred, looking at what you've been working on - or having trouble with - that week.
When you hit a problem, my job is to explain what's happening and help you work out a solution, in terms that make sense to you - there's no pressure to learn "THE CORRECT WAY" of doing things, whatever that is!
With a beginner in music production, we might start with the general principles of what recording is, how music technology developed over the years, and get started straight away on creating sounds with the equipment you already have. I teach primarily using Logic, but you can adapt the principles to whatever software you have, and there's no pressure to spend a fortune getting "Essential" gear.
With more advanced students, the focus tends to be on specific issues such as improving mixing skills, getting to grips with synths, or arrangement techniques.
The key is, I help you learn what you need to be able to make your music.

We found Peter Falconer through a friend's recommendation, and our daughter has been a student for the past three years. Peter's lessons are great - he has a unique way of making music creative and fun, which has done wonders for our daughter's confidence and her belief in her own abilities. He's an outstanding teacher, and we highly recommend him to anyone!
Peter has been my singing teacher for over 10 years. Before I went to Peter I had never sung in public - now I sing in 2 bands. Peter is patient, kind, funny and an incredibly talented musician. He demands the best out of you, but in a very supportive way. I would recommend him to anyone.
Peter taught my son who has severe dyslexia with great patience. He built on what my son already knew from College and helped him organise his work better and explore new concepts. He helped him evaluate his compositions to make them more interesting and also improved his mixing skills.
Been a student of Peter for a while now and couldn’t recommend him more!
Dr Peter is an expert musician and very skilled music teacher. He has tutored me in composition for the last few years and I have really enjoyed every lesson. Alongside being an all-round legend, Dr Peter has motivated me to follow my ambitions in composition and gain skills in producing music with Logic Pro. By encouraging me to consider new composition techniques, I am using more live instruments and refining my arrangements, which has supported me though my MMus in Composition. I can't recommend him highly enough if you are looking for a fantastic tutor in composition, piano and singing (or the smallpipes!) who welcomes you every week with a cuppa and a smile! ️ - Patrick Deeley
Peter is a highly qualified, experienced and very talented teacher, singer and musician. He is also patient and reassuring, which is perfect for new and nervous students. As my teacher he took me from never having sung in front of even friends or family to auditioning for and singing in a band. I definitely could not have achieved this without his never ending enthusiasm, encouragement and of course the way he managed to take the seemingly impossible and make it easy for me to grasp. I owe a lot of fun, confidence and happy times to Peter’s expertise and can thoroughly recommend that anyone else does the same. I’m certain you’ll improve your singing and have a great deal of fun in the process!
