Hello, I’m Eric.

A friendly face to help you find your feet, and your sound.

“I’ve been learning with Eric for a few months now and he’s been absolutely fab. With no previous bass experience the amount of progress and knowledge I have gained in such a short time has been invaluable. Would definitely recommend him!”
