Peter Segal was born in 1949 in Philadelphia and graduated from Temple University with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration in 1971. He earned both a Master’s in Music History and a Doctorate of Musical Arts from Temple and received diplomas from the Accademia Chigiana and Conservatorio Antonio Vivaldi (Italy) and University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). As Director of Guitar Studies at Temple University from 1973 to 1993, Segal mentored over 200 graduate and undergraduate students in preparation for careers in the musical arts. Segal was also taught at the University of the Arts from 1973 to 1991. Segal was a member of the Philadelphia Classical Guitar Society since its foundation in 1967 and served as its President, Treasurer and Director of Programming.
