Sacramento Strings

My daughter loves taking lessons with Erik. Although we only intended to go for 2-3 months to brush up on skills, we are on 8 months now with no intentions of cutting back. The improvements she has made and enjoyment she receives from his instruction is worth the 30 minute drive it takes us to get to his studio in Roseville.

My son has been taking violin lessons from Erik for seven months now, and we are so impressed with his teaching. He is knowledgeable, patient, and an excellent communicator. He is serious about what needs to be learned, and he has a fun sense of humor to go along with it ~ great qualities in any teacher! We appreciate his flexibility when we had to change times when the school year began. Fees are reasonable. And, wait until you hear him play.he's amazing!

I've been taking lessons with Erik for more than 6 months now. Being an adult learner is hard and Erik has been very patient and understanding. He lays out my lessons that fit me and he goes at my pace. I'm very happy with him as my violin instructor.

I have been working with Erik for the last 2 months. He is a wonderful Violin teacher. He is very patient and has a natural feeling for teaching violin. I am a teacher myself and I would recommend him to any of my students and friends. He gives you time to think things through and to make sure you feel comfortable with each note. Erik looks at my way of learning and tailors my lessons to my style. He is an excellent violin teacher.

If you are looking to refine your skills, or begin playing your first violin, Erik is definitely the teacher for you. Whatever your experience level, Erik will help you further your skills and talent to higher levels. I bought my first violin summer of 2015 and had no one or any source to help me get started and playing properly; you could imagine that self teaching is nearly an impossibility, especially as an adult learning to play.

I originally found Erik to help me with my stubborn collapsing bridge lol, but then he also gave me an intro lesson that helped me understand the very basic dynamic of bowing, something that the book I had purchased was not helping me with and it had little to no details and corrections compared to what he was giving me, all in 30 minutes to get me started and familiar with my instrument to begin practicing.

Since then, I have been going Erik for lessons to help me become a better violinist. Erik is patient and will help you at a pace that is suitable for you. Even if you were to become static momentarily, he will help you get past barriers to confidently move forward and continuing refining your skill. He is also flexible with time and can accommodate for most schedules.

I have a pretty busy schedule with work, school, and everything in between; I'm at home able to practice at night most days. I'm able to fit 30 minutes in one day to see Erik and receive notes on what I can work on in the nights. Erik is your go-to! He is an excellent teacher with much experience under is belt and a good friend. He won't ever make you feel like playing and learning is a chore. What ever challenges you both may face, you will always conquer them and every day, you will always be better.

I began taking violin lessons with Erik in December 2016 after about 15 year hiatus of actively playing. I started when I was younger but never had the privilege of having a private instructor back then. If I could've, I would've wished it was him! He is amazingly talented, knowledgeable, professional, attentive and intuitive as well. I make the same mistakes repeatedly but he has yet to run out of patience with me.

He definitely tailors his lessons to the needs and abilities of the student and doesn't put more on them than they can handle. He is a great teacher that loves what he does and that goes out of his way for his students. I don't believe I could've found a better teacher!

Eric is the best! I was on the verge of quitting violin after investing 5 years into it because I just couldn't find a teacher to show me how to improve my tone and vibrato. I'm an adult who plays in a small band and my years of effort were being dashed to the ground until I met Erik! His techniques are priceless - - they are helping me correct a bunch of bad habits I've acquired - - and the quality of my playing has improved a lot in just a short time! Erik's the real deal!

This place is great. I was initially nervous about being an adult with no music experience, but Erik was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. I've been going for about a month now and have already learned multiple songs and have been learning how to read music. Learning how to play violin has been a great experience for me. I would recommend coming here for lessons, to anyone.

Erik is a great teacher. I only started playing viola a few months ago and with an unpredictable work schedule, I was happy to find someone who was available on Sunday. Erik has an easygoing and encouraging approach to teaching. He focuses on both technical skills and musicality, even at the beginner level, and can explain difficult concepts in a clear way.

I leave each lesson feeling both challenged and motivated, with a good idea of what to work on for the week. It has been a pleasure working with Erik and I highly recommend him as a teacher.

Erik has been teaching my daughter violin lesson for almost two years now and she has progressed tremendously. He is very knowledgeable of violin techniques and very patient in getting his point across. I like that he tries different ways to tackle a piece especially if my daughter is having a hard time getting the right rhythm and tune. He is also very flexible schedule wise and willing to accommodate you even on short notice. He's a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend him to anyone.

Erik, Just wanted to thank you for your instruction so far. I'm glad to have an instructor that works hard to accommodate my needs and prevent things like bad habits before I learn them. You've been a great teacher so far and I look forward to many more lessons with you.
