Meet Erik, a Guitar Coach in San Diego, California.

I am a seasoned musician with experience in the studio and on tour. I have been in multiple bands that have been nominated in various competitions. You can hear one of my bands on Spotify under Thea The Band. I have a Bachelors in Music with an emphasis on Guitar Performance from San Francisco State University. The mentors I had there helped me to see music on a whole new level. I have been teaching for almost two decades. I started teaching at my local recreation center in The San Francisco Bay Area at the age of 16. The local newspaper ended up writing an article about my guitar program that I was teaching there and the impact it had on my students. I created and ran a ukulele summer camp program with one of the local private schools. I curtail my lessons to fit each one of my students. People learn differently and what might work for one person may not work for another. I am passionate about teaching and I deeply care about each one of my students. Part of my lessons is to help students analyze their goals for music, whether it's playing music around the campfire or becoming a professional musician. I keep my lessons fun, informative, and challenging. I have worked with all levels and ages, with children as young as five years old. I have been told from students who have had multiple teachers that I am one of the best for helping beginners jump over those initial hurdles.
