Meet Peter Maggitti (Mr. Pete®)

Peter Maggitti (Mr. Pete®) has dedicated his career to developing early childhood music education programs that support learning settings everywhere.

Today, kindergarten and pre-K children sing, laugh, and grow their appreciation of music through Learning Through Music with Mr. Pete programs.

As a master storyteller, he focuses on creating wonderful tales around fictional characters as part of children's musical performances. His repertoire is vast and includes learning through music in children's songs, contemporary inspirational hymns, love ballads, and personal, healing pieces.

The Early Years

Peter began writing songs and musical pieces at age five, starting with “little ditties.” As a young adult, while studying elementary music education at Community College of Philadelphia and Temple University College of Music, he found that he loved working with children aged six weeks through nine years of age.

At that time, he began teaching music and created Music Time with Mr. Pete. Those music programs reinforced lesson plans supporting the curriculum in a classroom setting.

“Mr. Pete has an innovative way to teach kids music. He says it should be fun.”Bucks County Courier Times

A Lifetime of Gratitude

Peter is grateful for the opportunities and blessings his career has provided, enhancing not only the children's and their families' lives, but his own life as well.
