About
As a local musician in the Northern Virginia area I think there is no better way to get better than by performing and passing my skills on to the next musician! Formally trained in classical, jazz, pop, rock and funk genres, I look forward to playing at your event, working with you to hone your sound, or training your technique, musical literacy, and performance skills on the saxophone and piano.

Eric did an amazing job entertaining my dad for his 92nd birthday at a local rehab facility! We decided to invite all of the residents to enjoy the fun and wow did they have a blast! Eric’s music connected everyone in the room and the happiness that they expressed was amazing to see! His talent coupled with his song choices transported the folks to another place in time and their joy was written all over their faces! I highly recommend Eric!

Eric was absolutely incredible. We booked Eric for my sons 2 year old birthday. He came prepared and was so much better than even expected. He played jazz music before and after for the adults and it was beautiful. The kids also had a blast singing and dancing a long to all of the kids songs! He even helped make children’s instruments for everyone to enjoy. I will absolutely be booking him again. He was professional, punctual and had great communication.

I started working with Eric about a month ago. I have been very happy with my progress and he has been great at helping me get through learning blocks whenever I get stuck on a certain lesson. Great at communicating and explaining new concepts in way that is easy to grasp and easy to remember.

Eric has been a great teacher. He took the time to understand my goals and worked with me to build a plan. He’s been great helping me to understand what to focus on and takes the time to make sure I understand the best path forward. Very excited to continue learning more from Eric.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Sustained and consistent practice is the best way to improve at your instrument - I offer discounts for committing to work together on a long-term basis. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on long-term commitment discounts.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I set up an initial session as a goal-setting exercise to gauge the level of the student's ability and and then look to find times for recurring weekly lessons that work with our schedules.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have formal training in playing the saxophone and piano in both a solo and group performance setting. In addition to performances, I have experience as a recording musician and playing in various groups and acts in Austin, TX and Washington, DC.
