Hi, I’m Peter Dreux — a violinist who hopes to share his passion for music with each and every member of his audience. Whether you are an ambitious student seeking a conscientious teacher, a host looking to add an elegant ambience to your next event, or a producer searching for the perfect melody on your latest track, I would love to perform for you.

The violin, for me, is a means to an end: a medium of self-expression. While I am in constant pursuit of technical refinement, I find fulfillment in the process of musical interpretation and finding my individuality through my instrument. I consider myself a lifelong student, absorbing and re-imagining the ideas of my musical heroes. I aspire to be a champion of unabashed creativity, and I hope to help people connect through music.

Having taught dozens of dedicated students, I welcome violinists of all ages and levels—from beginners taking their first steps to advanced players refining their technique and musical expression. Lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, fostering both technical mastery and a lifelong appreciation for music.
