Eric's Piano School Teaching Philosophy:
Our teaching philosophy is centered around three core missions: making the lesson experience fun, teaching students to play musically, and helping kids fall in love with music.
In our lessons, we balance structure and discipline with creativity and playfulness to ensure that our students are making progress while also having fun. Our ultimate goal is to inspire and guide our students to reach their full musical potential and to develop a lifelong passion for music.
Our teaching philosophy is centered around three core missions: making the lesson experience fun, teaching students to play musically, and helping kids fall in love with music.
- Making the Lesson Experience Fun: We believe that learning should be enjoyable and that the most effective way to retain information is through having fun while learning. During lessons, we aim to create a positive and engaging atmosphere where students can feel at ease and be motivated to practice and improve their skills.
- Teach Students to Play Musically: We believe that playing an instrument is not just about hitting the right notes, but about playing with expression, dynamics, and rhythm. We strive to teach students the art of music-making and help them develop their own unique voice and style.
- Have Kids Fall in Love With Music: We aim to instill a love for music in our students by introducing them to a variety of musical styles and genres and encouraging them to find their own musical interests. We believe that a love for music can last a lifetime and will bring joy and fulfillment to students' lives.

About Eric's Piano School
|
At Eric's Piano School, we believe in the transformative power of music. That's why, in August 2017, I opened our doors in Costa Mesa, CA with the mission of sharing my passion for the piano with as many students as possible. With a team of talented teachers, we've since welcomed over 75 students into our musical family, and every day, I feel so grateful to be a part of their musical journeys.
At Eric's Piano School, we understand that every student is unique, and that's why our teachers are trained to adapt their teaching styles to fit each child's personality. We believe that learning the piano should be a fun and rewarding experience, and our teachers are dedicated to making sure that's exactly what happens in every lesson. With our guidance, most students are able to learn 35-50 songs in just their first year! At Eric's Piano School, we believe in offering a comprehensive musical education, and that's why we teach a variety of styles, from classical to jazz, blues, pop, rock, and even Disney. If it's got a melody, we'll find a way to make an arrangement for the piano! Our goal is to ignite a love of music in every student, and to help them discover the joy of playing the piano. And, because we understand the demands of modern life, we prioritize making lessons convenient for busy parents, filled with laughter for kids, and use technology to enhance the learning experience. With our focus on fun, compassion, and authority, we're confident that your child will leave every lesson with a smile on their face and a deeper love for the piano. |

My Credentials:
|
|
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 practicing 4-5 hours every day, studying with some of the greatest pianists and music educators including Josh Wright DMA, Sam Grodin DMA, Jonny May, Kyle Landry.
At present, I am happily teaching piano and serving the Orange County community with a fantastic community of fellow teachers and my piano families to share the excitement of personal growth through musical mastery.
