Hello! If you are looking for a patient, friendly voice and/or piano teacher, then you have found the right instructor. I love helping people of all ages and abilities learn new skills. I recently completed my Master of Music in Vocal Performance (with a concentration in musical theatre) and an Advanced Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy (which involves anatomy and physiology related to teaching singing) at New York University. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree in Voice from The Ohio State University School of Music, and I am also a classically trained pianist. I have worked off-Broadway, have sung with various regional theatres and opera companies, have traveled the world performing on cruise ships, and I have performed the National Anthem many times in front of thousands of people. I love teaching musical theatre, pop, and classical voice, as well as piano. I also have experience as a professional section leader in New York City church choirs, and I have experience music directing regional theatre, as well as accompanying classical and musical theatre performers. If you need help learning better vocal technique, piano skills, music theory, need to do ear training, or just want to have some fun singing while learning healthy and proper technique along the way, please contact me today and let's get started!

Approved Subjects

Ear Training

Ear Training

I have extensive training as a pianist and vocalist, including college coursework in ear training and sight singing. I have had successful experience in teaching ear training and intervals to students, and have used both solfege and number systems for sight singing and ear training purposes. I have even helped people who cannot sing on key learn to match pitch. It's often not the ear, but breath and vocal coordination that needs development!
General Music

General Music

I have a Master of Music from New York University and a bachelor of music degree from the Ohio State University, and have studied classical piano for 8+ years. I have experience teaching beginner and intermediate piano and voice lessons to people of many different ages, as well as accompanying on piano at contests, and accompanying choirs and directing musicals (including professional regional theatre music direction). I have a solid foundation in music theory and ear training ability, which would make me a great teacher for anyone with general music tutoring needs.
Music Theory

Music Theory

I have a Master of Music from New York University and a Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance from Ohio State University School of Music. I have had coursework in voice, piano, music theory, ear training, sight singing, conducting, and music history. I have had additional performance experience in NYC theatre, regional theaters, with cruise ships, and opera companies.
Piano

Piano

I have a Master of Music from New York University and a bachelor of music degree from the Ohio State University, and have studied classical piano for 8+ years. I have experience teaching beginning piano lessons, as well as accompanying on piano at contests, and accompanying choirs and directing musicals (including professional regional theatre music direction).

Voice (Music)

I completed my Master of Music in Voice with an Advanced Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy at New York University, hold a bachelor of music degree from the Ohio State University (in voice performance, including vocal pedagogy courses), and I have experience teaching voice lessons, as well as accompanying on piano at contests, and accompanying choirs and directing musicals (including professional regional theatre music direction). I have also performed off-Broadway, sang on cruise ships, and worked extensively as a pro section leader in New York City church choirs.

Outstanding Tutor

My son auditioned and got into his high school chorale this year. This was the first time in a choir so he was very nervous and he wanted to find a tutor to teach him how to sing appropriately. Eric is a very patient and effective tutor--the lessons are challenging and enjoyable. Even after a few lessons, I've noticed a tremendous difference in my son's singing ability.

Supportive, encouraging, patient and effective

Eric will encourage you and build you up with warm and caring atmosphere, step-by-step exercises and scientifically backed explanations to demystify vocal anatomy. Some beginners like me would tense up and Eric notices these tiny emotion, body language changes and will help you relax and get your head back on track again. Eric also gave feedback after each exercise to help me understand what I did great and what to focus on to improve. After one lesson with Eric, I have already endless good things to say about him and the way he teaches. Not only he teaches well, but what a great human being.

Fun and professional

My son is thoroughly enjoying his lessons with Eric. He’s very encouraging and makes the sessions fun. My interactions working with Eric on scheduling and payment have been nothing less than highly professional and very pleasant. Strongly recommend Eric as a tutor.

Insightful and Caring Tutor

Eric is quite insightful and knowledgeable about his work. He really helped me with helpful hints in maintaining healthy vocal cords and a stronger voice. He even suggested I meet with a specialist. He shows it’s not a job for Eric, he actually cares. And I appreciate that type of work ethic.

Pearl, 1 lesson with Eric

Knowledgable and great communicator

Eric is super knowledgable on the science of how the voice works and I find that his techniques are very helpful in accessing better technique and range. I have only just started working with him, but am already surprised at how open my voice feels when I'm working with him. He is patient and encouraging and just has a really nice demeanor as a teacher. I highly recommend him!

Wonderful singing coach

Eric has been fantastic working with our 7 and 10 year old sons. He is patient, keeps it engaging for them, and chooses pieces that keep their interest level high. I also love how he incorporates music theory and reading into the sessions. He has a wonderful way with children.

KNOWS HIS STUFF

What a great lesson! He's the kind of vocal coach you want, everything he is teaching is scientifically backed and will help you find the right path for your voice to take. Will be seeing him again!
