Eric's Piano School

What a stellar piano teacher Eric is!! Eric connected with our kiddo and brought the joy of music to each lesson with his creative, fun style that is so refreshing from the rigid ways of my bygone days. Because I could not be present for lessons, Eric took the initiative to summarize the lesson and give guidance for the week. I appreciated Eric always being open to dialogue with the shared goal of providing a wonderful, supportive environment. Thank you, Eric!!

Went in to this with high hopes for our 8 year old son, let's call him Sky. He's been taking drum lessons since he was 4, so learning music and taking instruction are not new. The first two lessons were great. After that, it became too much about quizzing him, instead of playing and falling in love with it. The teacher would ask him questions and he would sit there quiet, trying to guess the answers.. Lessons no longer became fun or even productive. Sky's teacher was a 19 year old quiet college student. She was very sweet but I think Sky would benefited from an older more experienced teacher. We ended up being charged for I think 11 weeks worth, but we only used at most 6 lessons. Eric wouldn't compromise with us and seemed to only care about the money. I think Eric's school is for people who just want very straightforward instruction, with quizzes and standard guidelines/benchmarks. For a more personably expressive learning experience on the other hand.. School Of Rock is a better fit for us. Boooooo Eric. YaaaaaaY SchoolOfRock!

During Covid, we needed a way to provide our daughter, Katy, quality piano lessons. But at the time, very few instructors were online. We felt blessed to have found Erics Piano School as Eric himself was already transitioned to online lessons. We were instantly plugged in with essentially private in-home teaching. While this was super convenient with our busy work schedules, we got more than we expected. Erics style is encouraging and fun. He is also quite skilled. He hosts recitals 2-3 times per year to allow those who want to showcase what they have learned. And he teaches at all skill levels. In fact, I was so impressed, that even I became a student of Erics myself to help correct old habits and to learn a few new ones. (Who says you cant teach an old dog new tricks?) All in all, as parents, my wife and I are thrilled that Katy has taken to piano and we are super pleased with her growth over these past 18 months- despite the rolled eyes every time we remind her to practice. We highly endorse Eric and his school. Charlie and Becky Winn

Eric has been teaching my two children (ages 7 and 8) for the past three years. He is a very kind yet effective teacher. They enjoy seeing him each week and he keeps the lessons fun and engaging (with various piano based games at the end of lessons). The piano recitals are the icing on the cake as my children really look forward to them. This is a huge motivator for them to practice. The recitals are very fun and always include goodie bags and one time even piano medals. It is also very inspiring to see some of Erics other students who are older and very talented as well as Eric himself perform, who plays the piano so beautifully. Even when not thrilled about practicing at times my kids confidence has really grown after mastering difficult songs. Eric also has them chose some of their music (sometimes even compiling it himself when the original is too advanced) so that they are motivated to play popular music for friends and therefore motivated to practice. We recommend Eric to all friends and family and feel so lucky to have him as our childrens piano teacher and as a positive role model in their lives.

Ive been studying with Eric for over 7 years, and he manages to make every lesson worth it! I have been able to learn so much on my piano journey and look forward to many more years taking lessons with him. Would definitely recommend him to beginners and advanced players looking to take lessons.
