SPIRIT.  I can't remember ever listening to a song and being so overwhelmed.  I listened to that song over and over.  Inspired, I went home and told my wife that I need to start piano lessons again.   I felt lucky that you have writen the sheet music out for the song, and ordered the book.   Unbelievable! Inspiring, powerful.  What a gift you share with the world!   - Kevin Breen,  Lake Villa, IL

"When I receive a massage to Essence (which by the way is my choice every time), I am transported into a place of loving, my soul is deeply touched opening up. Playing Essence when I am giving clients massage, I am instantly rooted in Spirit working from a place of being deeply connected in the quality of compassion seeing the loving essence of my client." - Jan Cole, Long Beach, CA


If you want to be utterly transported, you want the magic and the music of Peter Kater. Once you hear what his mind, his heart, his soul, and his fingers do with a keyboard, nothing less, and nothing  else, will do.
 
When Peter Kater touches a piano, he touches the deepest part of  me. His music makes light, gentle intrusions into my core, awakening the best of who I am and allowing me to feel it. Can music do that? Oh, yes, Peter's music can. I have wept softly more than once at his exquisite gift of turning sound into beauty. Thank you, Peter. Thank you. - Neale Donald Walsch - Author, Conversations With God

"I am having a bit of a spiritual re-awakening and feel your music is a crucial part. I have listened to a lot of spiritual, relaxation, new age music over the years and nothing comes close to your work. I was put onto you in the first place by my martial arts master for my chi kung exercises!"  -Paul Reboul, fs24 Greenwood, Australia              


 "I feel  that  Sacred  Earth  has  achieved a  phenomenal  level  of  deep  and  profound  artistic  expression.  I  am  bowled  over   by  its  beauty…its  soft  richness….and  emotional  feeling.  I  took  the  first two  cd's  in  the  series  to  Bali  on  holidays  recently  along  with  another  10  cd's  …..the  other  10  will  have  to  wait a  little  while  longer  ……this  music  reflects  an  inner  core  that  is  very  much  ' my music '  and  soul."    - Barry Agnew, Australind, Australia


"Thank you for your ongoing gift, as your music has brought innumerable moments of peace to so many, which I have witnessed countless times in using your music as a companion to my massage practice of the last 15 years.  I wrote a soft and easy song-like poem back in July while listening to some of the rich and tender moments in your music, and it came out like this:

You walk on stones that crest the water
dancing light
across the water

And I am feeling into you
as you must have felt
and moved through
what God wishes we would do
is
Love

It’s in the
Music & the Magic
you produce

It’s in the
Heart
and in the
Soul
you put to use

that Heals
that Heals
that Heals
You

'Peter’s Peace’

Always Love,
  -  m. Claire"
