Hello, my name is Pete. I have been playing guitar for about 35 years now and I am well versed in music theory and playing techniques such as chord and chord progressions, stumming, scales, alternate picking, down picking, hammer-on, Pull-off, finger, tapping and more! I went to College of Dupage for music theory and piano and I will teach you theory as well to help you understand what notes you are playing on the guitar and how they are connected on the fretboard, it's like connecting the dots! I can help you learn your favorite songs too, just let me know what song you are interested in ahead of our lesson.

He is really understanding and pushes you as a musician to play difficult classical pieces, but his fun demeanor makes practice not feel like a "chore". He is overall just a great guy and really easy to talk to. "Put 'er in D" :)" Read more

Steven W. says, "Eric is an absolutely outstanding piano teacher! I’m a percussionist looking to continue music throughout college, and decided to take piano lessons while in high school. This decision was very beneficial, as Eric has taught me a tremendous amount about musicianship, theory, improvisation, transposition, blues, sight-reading, ear training, and so much more. Week after week Eric has challenged me with new material and helped me develop a deeper passion and appreciation for music. From day one, Eric spent a lot of time focusing on music theory. The time and care he devoted to teaching me about this area really enhanced my understanding of the topic and helped prepare me for an advanced placement music theory class. Eric also spent a lot of time teaching me about proper technique including posture, finger position, pedaling, and much more. He helped me understand the importance of this early on, and rather than focusing on just one period/genre of music throughout my lessons, Eric taught me about several and their origins/history. Some private lessons teachers are not very engaging; however, Eric has always been very enthusiastic and really took the time to get to know me as an individual. Not to mention he also has a fantastic sense of humor! I would not be the musician I am today without Eric, and I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to take lessons with him. Steven W.

  • What books should I get, and do you know where I could find used ones?
  • How many different blues guitar techniques can you teach?
  • If I'm struggling with learning, can you change the way you teach me?
  • What should I bring to class, and how long is each lesson?

Eric is a phenomenal piano teacher. Each lesson focused on making my son a well-rounded musician by splitting time between teaching technique, theory, ear training, and more. Eric challenges his students while motivating them to do their best. He keeps his students engaged throughout the lesson and gives his students a say in what they are going to learn. He has a great sense of humor making the lessons fun. Eric is very flexible with scheduling and easy to work with. I highly recommend Eric. Peggy W.

Matt is a phenomenal guitar teacher! He has the formal education and the passion necessary to be a truly effective instructor. After every lesson, he e-mails me a summary of what I need to work on. He makes learning guitar fun but also holds me accountable. And he teaches all ages. Lessons with Matt are the highlight of my week!
