Music and bass have given me so much joy and a sense of purpose, I have 30 + years of experience playing in original and cover bands that covers most genres and I want to give back to the community of low end loving players ranging from beginners to intermediate! There is something so satisfying to work with someone and watch the light bulbs go off and to see them grow in ways they never thought possible!

David says, "Awesome instructor who knows his stuff It was clear from my very first meeting with Eric that he had a real passion for music and a mastery of the art of guitar. His lessons are fun, he's been quite dependable, personable, and knowledgeable, and I can't wait to learn more! He has a laid back attitude which really helps his teaching. More often than once he's gone over into his own time to make sure I get a lot out of each lesson." Read more

Don is a fun, engaging teacher who took the time to understand what I really wanted to accomplish as an adult student. I learned a lot and am very happy with my music progress.

Eric is a wonderful guitar teacher. He has been my son's guitar teacher for 2-years. I admire the honesty and patience that he has with my son, in addition to keeping lessons fun. I admire how he stresses the basics, yet encourages my son to practice familiar songs to keep it fun for him. My favorite part is when I hear Eric and my son do a "jam" session. Not sure if that is the right word, but it sounds so cool when they play together. I highly recommend Eric as a guitar teacher.
