About Eric

I love teaching Guitar!

There is nothing more rewarding than watching students progress, step by step from beginners in guitar/music to achieving mastery.

I started playing the guitar at age 12. My older brother was taking lessons, and when I saw him play, I was hooked. After performing in a talent show, my school asked me to teach a guitar class. I was in 7th grade. It was tough being I barely knew how to play myself. Surprisingly, all my students learned to play, and I learned to teach. I've been teaching ever since.

I recieved my undergraduate degree in guitar performance from the University of Miami, Fl. and my Masters in guitar performance from the University of Denver, in Co. where I was a (TA)Teachers assistant.

I've taught as am adjunct professor at Florida International University for 8 years. Mater High school for 6 years. Also private lessons throughout my playing/teaching career.

I am extremely fortunate to have studied with some of the best guitar teachers, I have a clear understanding of guitar technique and musical mastery. How to proceed from point A to point B. Many guitar students have wholes in their playing and understanding.

I can help.

I am also a certified Music teacher in the state of Florida from K-12

.

I enjoy seeing growth in the students playing. It’s a simple process, once understood.

7th grade, after performing in a talent show, my school offered me a small non- paying position to teach other students that were interested in guitar.

About the lesson

I ask a lot of questions. Can you play anything now? What Type of music are you interested in?

After I understand the students wishes/needs, we begin.

Getting the fingers moving. right hand, left hand.

reading notes, counting, music theory, singing. etc.

all ages from 5 to 75 all types and backgrounds.

Look for a teacher that you have a good rapport with and you trust. Ask questions when you do not understand. Respect what the teacher advises you to do and do it.

I would then suggest that I teach them.

One of my high school students was struggling with counting and playing in the 5th position. We slowed it down quite a bit, and they were able to do it.

Eric Swanson is a Master guitarist and instructor with incredible patience and focus. Classical guitar has many parts that seem complex at first, but Mr. Swanson breaks down these elements in a way that the student can digest.

Eric Swanson is also very intuitive as to what the student's strengths and weaknesses are, and makes it a point to work on issues with a laser-like focus - until the issues are corrected. In all, any guitarist will improve ten fold under Mr. Swanson's instruction.

I feel very fortunate to have such an immensely talented Master instructor close to home.
