Eric playing guitar

Eric has been interested in playing guitar for a long time. Riza started teaching him, when he was five years old. Hi is sitting in the kitchen on the step up to the breakfast room with Riza behind checking that he is playing correctly. And a year later, at thee age of six, he is performing at his school (St John’s School in Sidmouth).

He has continued to study in school and got a little extra tuition. In March 2020 he did his grade one exam for guitar with a merit. But now in the lockdown period he is getting lessons on Zoom from his tutor, Mr. Dave Bowen.
