Hey music lovers! I’m Pete Hurst – a passionate, experienced musician and educator, here to help you take your playing to the next level. Whether you’re after top-notch tuition or looking for a versatile performer, I’ve got you covered. Let’s make music and rock out together!
I’m a multi-instrumentalist with over 25 years of playing experience, specialising in string instruments – particularly guitar, violin, and bass guitar. I also play ukulele and drums.
I hold a first class honours degree in Music Performance and Professional Practice from Coventry University (2013), and have been teaching both privately and in schools since 2014. I regularly perform at events across the country with my band Hard To Handle, in theatre pit ensembles, and previously led the second violins in the Stratford Symphony Orchestra.
