April 2006
 
Peter had an enjoyable time performing with students aged 10 to 15 yearsfrom Wesley College, Melbourne. 14 of his songs were arranged by Wesley's Head of Music for band, strings and choir. He rehearsed for 2 hours with the students on the first day, then performed 6 concerts to audiences of young children over the next 2 days. From being pretty 'scratchy' at the rehearsal, the kids got better and better and learnt so much about playing, performing and having to get it right! By concert 6 they were really rocking! It was a wonderfully worthwhile experience for the kids and they learnt SO much ..
