I have been working as a freelance musician and private instructor in Chicago for fifteen years. During this time I have been hired to perform Jazz, Rock, R/B, and world music. As an instructor I have maintained a studio of five to twenty students on a weekly basis. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Northern Colorado in Percussion Performance, and a Master of Music degree from De Paul University in Jazz Studies.

I feel there is a great deal of talent in the youth of today. And that it is my job to provide a knowledge and understanding of performing arts and to help my students to develop, refine and heighten their talents. I love to teach performance techniques in voice, music, dance, and other fine arts activities. It is my goal to share my passion for performing arts with others so that they might become excited about their potential and future. I hope to empower others with the knowledge of using there instrument properly and efficiently so that they may utilize their talents to their fullest potential.

Hello, my name is Eric! In 2009 I completed my masters degree in vocal performance at DePaul University.
As an emerging professional artist I have had a plethora of experience on stage, singing with full orchestras, as well as diction training in Italian, French, German, and English. I love assisting all students with practical audition and performance preparation. I primarily sing classical music, however I believe the techniques learned from doing so enhance every genre of voice and have no problem teaching children, or helping musical theater, jazz, blues or pop singers.
When I first began my path in music, I started as an education major. I love children and absolutely enjoy instilling the love for music by singing traditional children's tunes that are supplemented with history lessons, basic music theory, drawing, and reading of children's literature.

Hello, I feel that there has never been a time in my life that I haven't been singing. From the early years at church and school, to college and then on to my career as a vocalist.

I graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, TN with a Bachelors in Music - Vocal Performance with minors in Music Business and Music Education.

I began my career singing for song writers in Nashville, working for music labels, singing in the studio as a studio singer, and singing back up for a few country and pop artists.

Through the years I have been hired to work for Cruise Ships, theme parks, resorts, touring companies, musical theaters, ballet theaters, as an actor (stage, tv, and film), as a musical director, as a vocal captain, and as a vocal teacher.

I am originally from South Bend, Indiana so my personality sort of fits the stereotype of my other Hoosiers, we are all pretty laid back, down to earth, and very patient. I love where I am from and love the people...
