ABOUT ME

Hi there! My name is Eric, and I am a composer, performer, and educator based in the Los Angeles area. I am a classically-trained composer who professionally scores for games and films. I am a classically trained pianist/organist as well as vocalist who is versed in jazz, pop, and musical theatre styles. My immense teaching background includes: being the director of the Video Game Music Institute (www.vgminstitute.com), where I train aspiring composers how to compose video game music, teaching accredited pop music courses at San Francisco State University, local and international music schools, and my own private studio. Students have studied with me worldwide, ranging from beginners to professionals and music students from the finest music schools, such as Berklee College of Music and New York University. For more information, visit my site at www.ericyemusic.com/lessons.

MY TEACHING

A dedicated and prolific educator with years of experience teaching music at the college level, I offer private instruction in piano, voice, and music composition/ theory via Zoom. Working with students from beginners with no musical background to industry professionals, I love teaching students of all ages and levels, working equally well with children and adults. My lessons are progressive, structured, and fun, built upon personalized curriculums to to help them grow and develop musically. I provide a supportive and engaging approach towards learning the art and craft of music, inspiring my students with a lifelong love of music.

PIANO LESSONS

I offer piano lessons for students of all ages and levels, from classical to pop to jazz. I studied Piano Performance under distinguished professor Victoria Neve at San Francisco State University, performing two major solo piano recitals. Alongside developing solid piano technique and fostering musicianship, I prioritize the understanding of music theory, helping my students gain fluency in the language of music. For classical piano students, I incorporate the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) exam pieces into my teaching. By working through progressive study of scales, chords, and pieces, my students learn to develop healthy practice habits, leading to mastery of their repertoire. For students learning popular music, I select diverse music that builds a student's technical ability to perform their favorite songs confidently.

VOICE LESSONS

An experienced vocalist and songwriter who has performed classical, musical theatre, jazz, R&B, and pop genres, I have taught voice to students of all ages (children and adults). I give my students a well-rounded training in developing the fundamentals of singing. Students will understand how to improve breath control, practice fun technical exercises to strengthen their voice and expand their range, and improve their intonation and pitch memory. I assign level-appropriate songs to students that help develop their vocal technique and musicality, helping them learn how to get the notes right and improve rhythm. As a vocal coach, I also help students work on stylistic techniques and how to prepare for performances or auditions.

    My son hates reading music notes, he only plays the piano by listening and memorizing. But Eric is the best teacher for him. He tried to get him interested in reading through all kinds of music, from classical to game music. So my son will learn to compose.
    How wonderful! 👍👍

    As a classically trained singer used to singing with an operatic voice, I studied with Eric over summer to learn musical theatre vocal technique. Eric taught me how to sing with my chest voice through fun vocal exercises and by working on a beautiful song he wrote. Each week, I could sing higher and higher without switching to my head voice. I started off with less than an octave range and expanded my chest voice range to two octaves in just six weeks.
    Eric explained things very clearly and was incredibly supportive to me. He has also helped me so much with finding the low notes that I was sure I didn’t have. Eric and I worked on his original song called “Look At Me”. It was a great pick because it showed me how the same words and melodies can convey such different emotions. As a composer planning to write a musical for my master’s project, this song was crucial in helping me understand how to write for musical theatre.
    Through this song, I learned to add stylistic embellishments, such as vocal slides, which have become my favorite technique. I will now incorporate these slides in my music. Look At Me is such a wonderful song and very exciting to sing! And through Erics workshopping, I found my voice and learned how to truly connect with the meaning of the song. He helped me with honing my musical expression and bringing out my acting and storytelling into my performance.
    I highly recommend Eric as a vocal coach to anyone who wants to improve their vocal technique, learn how to sing, and prepare for performances.

    I was learning diatonic harmony (part writing and piano playing) in college and was struggling to grasp the complicated material but Eric made it super simple and explained it in a way that had not even been explained to me by my professors. He is not only a fantastic musician but he is a fantastic teacher. He really helped me and I finished the semester with an A because of him!

    My son Jamie has been taking piano classes with Eric for over 3 years. His music abilities have developed from not being able to play piano or read music notes to performing beautiful pieces by Mozart and Bach. Jamie loves and cherishes his piano classes. Eric has a personable style of teaching, balancing between encouraging and challenging students to excel. The lessons are structured to not waste a single minute: going over the homework, piano repertoire, scales, and music theory assignments. Im amazed at how Jamie is able to make such progress taking 30 minutes classes once a week. I believe its the result of not just Jamies abilities, but mainly of Erics teaching approach, which is warm, caring, supportive, but also holding strong expectations and pushing Jamie to work harder. Thank you so much for your devotion to teaching music!
