I am an award winning British guitarist, qualified at diploma, higher diploma and degree level – BA (Hons), have worked and toured with many named musicians (see below) and am now living in Los Angeles.

I am offering in person, one on one or group guitar lessons, bass and ukulele lessons. I am also experienced and fully equipped to teach online lessons via FaceTime, Skype or Zoom etc.
My initial stint as a Los Angeles session guitarist consisted of going for high profile auditions, and being considered as a guitarist for X Factor USA. I also recorded for a musical and for a movie soundtrack.
More recently I have recorded for Terry McDermott (runner up on The Voice) with x4 Grammy winning Duran Duran producer John Jones and have recorded on a number of projects with one of Pink Floyd’s engineer/producers at a major LA recording studio, including a session with Steve Ferrone (John Mayer/Tom Petty). I was also involved in an extensive European tour with Queen Kwong who’s members include Wes Borland (Limp Bizkit), Fred Sablan (Deftones), Carré Callaway and Hayden C. Scott.
I have also been working with a music publisher on a global basis, which include writing credits on songs which have gained national radio air play and charted at the top spot in various iTunes charts (globally) as well as working with an LA based company composing film music and have had placements on major networks such as MTV.
Being inspired to pick up the guitar after binging on my brother’s music collection, I enrolled at The Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) in Guildford in the U.K. In my first year, I gained a diploma in Contemporary Popular Music Performance with a Distinction and was also an award winning guitarist with a year’s endorsement to Ernie Ball.
Whilst studying for my music degree, I was chosen to perform live with Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I was taught by many leading professional guitarists within the industry and developed playing in a range of styles including Rock, Pop, Funk, Metal, Latin, Reggae, Jazz etc. Some of the other key skills gained while studying at ACM were in pre production, post production, technical and stylistic development, music business, music law, music theory, live performance, sight reading, creative improvisation, composition and arrangement, and musical direction

Hi, I’m Peter! I’m a multi-instrumentalist and music teacher based in Denver, Colorado. I have been a passionate student of music for over two decades and offer lessons on many instruments including guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, piano, and voice.
I had constant exposure to classical music in my early years as my mother taught private piano and upright bass lessons in our home. I studied piano with my mother and studied cello and voice throughout all my elementary school years. Middle and high school brought lots of performance experience for me in realms of musical theater, show choir, and standing choirs. In high school I bought my first acoustic guitar and began teaching myself the basics of the instrument.
After high school graduation I continued my exploration of all things music at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington where I had the privilege of participating in several vocal, jazz, and guitar ensembles. Classes in Music Theory, Music History, Ear Training, and Improvisation also contributed to my growth and appreciation for what it takes to be a working musician in a competitive industry. The private lessons I took in jazz guitar, composition, and voice all complimented my studies and honed my performance capabiliites. While attending PLU, I enjoyed mentorship from several distinguished faculty members of the university including Dr. Cassio Vianna for Improvisation Seminar and Jazz Ensemble, Dr. Greg Youtz for Composition lessons, and Dr. Steve Howland for Jazz Guitar lessons.
While in college, I had the honor of joining the reputable all-male Acapella group on campus called PLUtonic. I served as PLUtonic Acapella Vice President and helped the group earn a Quarterfinals advancement in the 2015 ICCA Competition, being invited to perform at Pomona College in Southern California for Semifinals.
After my college studies, I returned to Denver and began my career as a performer. I found a special opportunity to stage public street performances for the many pedestrians of downtown Denver. I have used these public street performances as an opportunity to refine my technique, expand my repertoire, and build a small (but dedicated) local network of friends and fans. In addition to my public performances, I am regularly hired to perform at parties and farmer’s markets as a solo performer or as the lead guitarist/vocalist of my rock trio cover band, Mall People.
I am grateful that music is the language that I live and breathe every day. Each new day I am hard at work in my home studio transcribing new songs for guitar, analyzing harmony from traditional jazz standards, and learning classic tunes on piano. I am passionate about all different genres of music and am especially fond of Rock n’ Roll and Jazz.
Outside of music, I am passionate about fitness, reading a good book, and playing games with my friends and family.
Hey, thanks for visiting my profile! I am Louis-Pier Racicot, Violin Teacher. Here’s a little about me.
I was very fortunate to grow up in a musical household. Our old upright piano was the main attraction in my parent’s living room. My mom used to sit there every day and play for us. Her passion for music was contagious.
I was about 16 when I realized I was finally ready to pursue my dream of becoming a professional musician. I got into the Classical violin performance program at the University of Montreal. Soon after, I got hired as the solo violin for Cavalia Odysseo, an international Cirque show.
My touring years gave me so much experience. I performed hundreds of shows yearly across America and played on live radio and television shows. I was fortunate enough to perform with widely diverse musicians, artistic directors, and music composers.
Traveling the world and performing with amazing artists opened my eyes to a whole world of musical possibilities. I discovered so many inspiring cultures. It made me grow as a musician and helped me learn a lot about life.
I created Music 4 Humans to share the knowledge and experience I acquired through the years with you all. I want to help people develop their musical voices and discover the world. To me, learning music is not only about playing. It’s about self-discovery and growing as human beings.

Hey! My name is Leyla. I’m 22 years old and I discovered my passion for the bass during the lockdown of 2020. Starting initially by sharing guitar covers to my instagram page, I looked for ways to take my videos even further and invested in my first bass guitar. I’ve spent hours, upon hours, working on my craft and I am highly thankful to have amassed over 38 thousand followers in just two short years.
Despite not having any formal music training, I am deeply passionate about the instrument and as a self-taught musician, I completely understand the struggle of having to navigate through copious amounts of information on the internet.
As frustrating and overwhelming as I know this can be, nothing beats that ‘breakthrough’ feeling- which is the exact feeling I’d hope you’d experience within my lessons.
It is important to me that music is made accessible to all (regardless of age or experience) and I am honoured to teach for a platform like Music 4 Humans because it shares such a similar message.
