My name is Eric Sebula, I have been playing guitar for over 20 years. Would you to like to learn how to play your favorite songs, or have you ever thought of writing and recording your own music...... just don’t know where to begin. As a teenager I learned by ear and took lessons from a local shred guitarist. From there I went on to pursue a Bachelors degree in Music while being classically trained by a member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. I’ve written and recorded three albums, played countless shows and still continue to write new music. I cater the lessons to the individual student and my only rule is that we have fun along the way...

I have been teaching in and around Pittsburgh for around 13 years now. Have taught guitar, banjo, and ukulele to everyone from kindergarteners to Hollywood movie stars. I try to teach not just how to read and music theory, but appreciation and love of music as well. I also try to cater to what the individual student is looking for. I have always loved music since as long as I can remember and have loved the guitar since I was about 7 years old. I love seeing the look in someone’s eyes when they finally achieve something they’ve worked hard for....
