About Eric
I have extensive experience as a guitarist, educator, and music producer, with a strong background in both classical and contemporary music. I hold a Master of Music in Classical Guitar Performance from Mannes School of Music, The New School, where I studied under renowned guitarist Michael Newman, as well as a Bachelor of Music from The College of New Jersey. My training includes composition, improvisation, music production, and scoring for film, giving me a well-rounded approach to teaching music. I have been teaching private guitar lessons since 2016, working with students of all ages and skill levels. My experience includes teaching at Bravo Music Academy (2021-2023) and Do Re Mi Music and Arts (2017-2018), where I provided individual instruction to children and teens, following structured curricula tailored to their abilities. I also served as a guitar instructor and counselor at the New York Summer Music Festival (2014), where I taught a group of 20 students, focusing on guitar performance and practice techniques. My teaching philosophy is to make music accessible, fun, and inspiring for young learners. I strive to foster creativity and confidence by incorporating favorite songs, interactive exercises, and age-appropriate music theory concepts. Whether a child is learning their first chords or refining their technique, I provide patient, encouraging guidance to help them reach their musical goals.
