About
Fully vaccinated. My name is Eric Gracia, and I am an award-winning concert guitarist and teacher. I DO NOT ONLY TEACH CLASSICAL GUITAR, BUT I TEACH ALL STYLES OF MUSIC. I WILL ALSO TEACH YOU ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT YOU OWN FOR FREE, INCLUDED IN MY LESSONS. I UNDERSTAND THAT LEARNING A MUSIC INSTRUMENT REQUIRES A SET OF GIVEN TECHNIQUES AND THE WILLINGNESS TO LEARN THEM. I teach in Houston Texas and all the surrounding areas and have played on National Public Radio(NPR), as well as for presidents and mayors of many cities. I have been assistant director of the annual Classical Minds Guitar Festival and Competition held at the University of Houston, as well the assistant director of the Greater Houston Guitar Guild. I have studied with over 80 masters of guitar from around the world, most of which have doctoral degrees. My first instructor was the second person in the world to get a doctoral degree in guitar education and performance. I consider my lessons as masterclasses, in which I cover everything, from technique to music theory to repertoire, posture, stage presence, guitar repairs, and all musical styles. I have taught over 500 students in Houston since 2004. My students have gone on to win international competitions and talent shows and have been accepted in highly accredited universities. I am a guitar teacher for the student who wants to get to the highest level of the craft. I also offer a monthly meeting for all my students free of charge to perform the pieces they are working on and be critiqued by myself and my peers. It is a great chance to meet people working on perfection just like you. I teach all ages starting at 3 years old onward. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. References are available upon request. The gratification of seeing a student who has never played the instrument before, being able to achieve a goal within less than an hour.

Prior to meeting he studied in depth, music that I mentioned would be goals to learn to play. Eric spent extra time on our first lesson to determine my strength and many weaknesses. He stressed fundamentals that over time will lead to me becoming a more relaxed, comfortable and balanced player. He gave me a structured, written practice routine including tabs to keep me going until we meet again in one week. His knowledge of the instrument is phenomenal. He is committed both as a player and teacher as evidenced by his passion and energy. I look forward to working with him.

Eric was fantastic. He took the time to meet with us and transcribe a song at our request. Anyone looking for a classical guitarist for a wedding ceremony or any other event would be extremely lucky to land Eric. Thanks Eric!!

Eric uses good approach to teaching my 10 years old son. The lessons seam more like a fun hang out and he picks up the lesson faster then when he did a traditional lessons. I have never seen my son being excited about his lessons before we started with Eric.

Excellent teacher! Eric is patient beyond belief and will go completely out of his way to make sure that I am really absorbing the material and am fulfilled by what I've learned in each lesson. As a musician, he is extremely talented, but furthermore he has learned the art of teaching in a way where he can easily relate to you on your level and at the right pace for your learning needs. He truly tailors each lesson to the individual. What makes Eric stand out amongst others is that you can tell he truly CARES about you learning and loving to play music. I would highly recommend him to all!
