Hi, there! My name is Eric Rinehart and I can't wait to meet you! I am licensed in the Simply Music Piano Method and I am so excited because this program is quite literally the best thing I have seen in music education. I've been teaching private lessons since 2015 and have loved helping my students experience the joy of music, improve their performance skills, and learn to play their favorite songs early on in their lessons. Simply Music guarantees you will learn 30-50 songs in your first year of lessons! Isn't that incredible? I went to UCSB and earned a degree in Chemistry/Biochemistry in 2015. I'm a passionate, nurturing, and warm teacher excited to bring the FUN and joy of music making!! I look forward to helping you reach your goals! **** Ignite the joy of music. Build performance skills. Develop discipline and persistence. **** ***Qualifications*** - Licensed Simply Music Educator. - 15 years of playing experience. -2 years of teaching experience. -2 time record-holding World Champion Euphonium player with the Concord Blue Devils. -Born to 5th generation piano family. ***My Mission*** To give my students a life long love to music with full creative expression. ***Bio*** I began lessons with mom at the age of 8 and was hooked by music. After my fifteen years of playing and study of music, I continue to learn and evolve as a pianist and educator. When I am not playing the piano my other hobbies include going to learning about marketing and business, staying healthy, and watching something that will make me laugh. It is my dream to grow my strong communal piano academy of highly motivated students that pursue excellence in music.

Eric tutored me throughout the 2016-2017 school year in AP Chemistry. Throughout the year I played competitive volleyball and Eric was always very flexible with scheduling and making sure he could fit me in- even if it was last minute. I could tell that Eric generally cared about how well I understood each piece of material. No matter how long it took for me to understand he never gave up on me; if one explanation didn't make sense to me, then he would reinterpret it another way. Even during times throughout the school year when I was just so over chemistry, he pushed me and he kept me on track. The impact that Eric had on me was incredible and I highly recommend his services. Without Eric's help, I know that I would not have been able to receive an A in this class or be able to manage all of my activities. I learned more about the subject of chemistry then I ever wanted too.... AND I ended up passing the AP exam! Thank YOU Eric!

Eric recently played our baby grand piano during a Christmas party, and he was a delightful addition to the festive atmosphere. He played for about 5 hours and skillfully performed a repertoire of holiday classics and a perfect mix of standard classics which added to the holiday flair. We look forward to asking Eric to entertain our guests at a future festive party!
