Award-winning composer, educator, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Eric Goetz prides himself on his diverse background and flexibility as a composer. Eric started playing piano and composing at a very early age. Eric went on to receive a B.A. in Music (focusing on Piano Performance) from Western Washington University, where he studied classical piano with Jeffery Gilliam and jazz with Chuck Israels (Bill Evans Trio). After graduating, Eric moved to Seattle and studied film composition with Emmy-winning composer Hummie Mann, and accordion with jazz great Ken Olendorf.
For the last seven years, Eric has split his time between film-scoring (several feature films and numerous award-winning short films), teaching piano and music theory, and playing in the critically-acclaimed kids music band, The Board of Education. Eric serves on the board of the Seattle Composers Alliance, an organization made up of professional composers and students, who's mission includes expanding Seattle's reputation as a center for musical creativity, educational outreach, and knowledge exchange among composers.
