Eric's Piano School Teaching Philosophy:
Eric's Piano School provides a roadmap for student's to take responsibility for their own learning at the pace they need.
Our students get all the tools to learn and rehearse their music during their piano lesson. They leave lessons nearly memorizing their music which makes them feel inspired to play at home. That means no more frustrations and arguments about practice at home!

About Eric's Piano School
I started Eric's Piano School in August 2017 based in Costa Mesa, CA. I proudly share my passion for piano with 40+ students. My mission is to make learning the piano a fun and rewarding experience - there has been nothing more meaningful in my life then mastery of the piano and myself!
I can adapt my teaching style to any child's personality. Most students have the ability to learn 35-50 songs in their first year!
I make lessons convenient for the parents, filled with laughter for the kids, and use modern technology to offer a piano lesson experience that gets kids engaged with music and playing the piano. I have also hired other teachers to align with my goal of making piano lessons a meaningful part of a child's life.
Every new piano family is offered a free trial lesson to ensure that we are a great fit together!

Eric's Bio:
|
Music has always been interwoven into my life. I was born and raised in the Napa Valley to a 5th generation piano family. 10 minute piano sessions would be sprinkled in between my races on Mario-Kart. Throughout middle school and high school, I continued to be involved with music of all varieties; trumpet in bands, saxophone in the jazz ensemble, and euphonium with the World Champion Concord Blue Devils. In college I pursued a Biochemistry degree, and loved expanding my scientific mind, but finally discovered my true passion in piano. It BECAME my thing which is when I decided I would devote my life to music and education.

|
With roundabout fashion, I returned to the Napa Valley after college graduation in June 2015 to get serious about my piano career.
At present, I am happily teaching piano and growing a fantastic community of fellow teachers to share the magic of music because I believe great art can change the world. |

Jessica Gordon:

After graduating from the University of California, Irvine with a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and Social Behavior, I decided to pursue a career in conjunction with my passions and work towards getting a Master’s degree in music. My passion for music has translated into an aptitude for learning and integrating concepts and ideas related to music as demonstrated by my success in musicianship, music theory, performance, and composition classes at Saddleback College. Previous work at the UCI Early Childhood Education Center have helped me to develop strong communication skills with both parents and children. I am excited to combine my experiences to help every child learn!

Upon completion of her undergrad, Tori attended the Steinhart School of Culture, Education and Human Development at New York University, for the graduate program Composition for Film and Visual Media.
At NYU, she became a working professional within the music and film industry. As a concert composer, Tori’s music has been performed by the New York University Symphony and members of the Prague Symphony Orchestra. She was also one of five composers invited to participate in a Choral Arts residency at the Banff Center for Arts in February 2019, working to premiere a set of choral compositions with the choir-in-residence Pro Coro Canada. As a film composer, her work has been featured internationally at the Cannes Film Festival and at the Fusion International Film Festival. |
When not composing or performing music, you will find Tori teaching vocal and piano performance, music theory, songwriting, and composition. Tori truly believes that everyone can sing and learn to play music! As a teacher, Tori believes that it is very important for every musician to have a strong music theory background. Further, she believes that it is important for all of her students to enjoy and love the music that they’re practicing and learning. She encourages her students to bring and choose music that they want to learn and/or begin writing their own original material. Tori strives to constantly challenge her students, while still keeping lessons fun and engaging!
