Eric began playing guitar at age 13.  By the time he was 15 he was playing in an agency-based Top 40 cover band at High School dances.  Throughout his college career, he continued playing guitar and bass for a variety of cover bands in the Lehigh Valley and greater Philadelphia area. He is currently performing as vocalist/guitarist/keys with The Toga Party Band, guitarist in a Journey Productions fashion show, guitarist/vocalist for a solo acoustic show, and as an unaccompanied jazz/classical guitarist.

Highlights of Eric’s musical education include four years of private study with Greg Howe, a well known session/performing guitarist whose clients have included Michael Jackson, Enrique Iglesias, and ‘N Sync.  In addition Eric has studied seven years with Frank Michael Flandorffer, Director of Classical Guitar Studies at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Because of Eric’s diverse musical background, he is comfortable teaching many different genres; from classic and current styles of blues, rock, and heavy metal to jazz and traditional classical fingerstyle study.

Eric enjoys teaching guitar, bass guitar, and beginning piano to all ages and currently works as a substitute teacher for the music departments at Easton Area High School and Easton Area Middle School.
