Eric Philo is the owner of Bach to Rock/Wyckoff.  He opened his first Bach to Rock music school in Nanuet, New York, in 2017. The Nanuet school was recently awarded the New York State Senate Empire Award.  Nominated by the community, Empire Award recipients are recognized for their contribution to the growth and betterment of their community and New York State.  Eric is a former financial professional, and also an active amateur musician who plays and composes music. After leaving the corporate world, he became a Bach to Rock franchisee because he wanted to help kids forge new connections and enhance their lives through music. “I’ve seen how music enriches our students’ lives. It’s been exciting and rewarding to see them learning, laughing, and relating through music. Playing music opens so many avenues for kids to interact,” said Philo.  “I am thrilled to be opening our second school in the Wyckoff community to present that opportunity to kids here.”

Bach to Rock Wyckoffoffers programs for students of all ages including: individual and group lessons in piano, voice, guitar, drums and more; early childhood instruction, featuring “Rock City” for preschoolers and “Rock and Roll” for toddlers; beginning piano “Kids n Keys” for children in grades K-2; and summer camps and birthday parties. Plus, students can get involved in a glee club or rock band

“We are excited that Eric Philo is opening his second Bach to Rock school in Wyckoff. He has boundless energy and a strong commitment to helping students pursue music education,” said Brian Gross, president of Bach to Rock.  “I’m confident families in the community will benefit from his leadership and passion.”
