Introduction: 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.

Simply stated, Eric is awesome. He plays guitar like an angel and teaches with passion and patience. His lessons are specifically tailored to each students’ needs and interests. For instance, one of his lesson for my 8 year old son may encompass technique, music theory and history, songs, proper posture, etc. Therefore, each is unique and most valuable. Eric is amiable, open to communication, and punctual.

Highly professional and knowledgeable music teacher. His passion for guitar shows throughout the lesson and proves inspirational. He has a great personality that makes learning guitar more exciting. I would advise any student to hire him as their instructor. The lessons are worth every penny you pay.

Eric is a great guitar teacher, he takes time to explain each lesson and I never feel rushed. He also will write down the music and add notes so you can refer to when you practice alone. I'm already on my 8th guitar lesson with Eric and I can say without a doubt that Eric has taking me from knowing nothing to playing guitar at a beginner level and getting better with every lesson.

Eric is a bad ass teacher!, he has you playing music the first lesson, His passion of the guitar is amazingly inspiring, he doesn't have that annoying arrogance that a lot of instructors have. He puts you at total ease witch helps you relax and in turn absorb the lesson better. Don't let the price put you off you get your moneys worth and more HIGHLY Recommend!

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!
