Super excited to announce new guest, Eric Wirsing, to The Story!Eric began his musical journey with piano at the age of five. Shortly after beginning piano, he also studied violin and drums. But at the age of 12 when Eric received his first electric guitar, he realized his true passion and path in his musical life and has not put it down since. In the 30+ years since striking those first notes, he has been deeply involved in music.Eric's obsession for the guitar led him to Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA in 1999. After leaving Berklee with his future wife Julie Schreiber, they moved to Harrisburg, PA where Eric performed in the Julie Schreiber Band; sharing the stage with such acts as, Halestorm, Lowen & Navarro, the Badlees and many more. While in Central PA, Eric taught guitar and bass professionally for 20+ years.

In 2008, Howe hired Eric to transcribe and design the official guitar tab book for his most well-known album, Introspection.After teaching professionally for a few years, in 2011, Eric opened the doors to The Perfect 5th Musical Arts Center in Mechanicsburg where he was dedicated to bringing the best quality music education to the region.

We're doing a special series on the podcast this summer called Studio Snapshots. Rather than the in-depth, process-oriented interviews you're used to hearing, these rapid-fire interviews give us a glimpse in a guest's studio at a moment in time.  They're part reflection, part anticipation of the future, and fully a celebration of where these teachers are today. Today I'm talking to Ken Thompson, owner of Musical Arts Center of San Antonio. A full transcript and resources from this episode can be found at MusicStudioStartup.com/snapshot001.

Later this week, the IU Opera and Ballet Theater returns to the Musical Arts Center present The Magic Flute, an opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart set to a German libretto by Emanuel Schikanader. In this episode of the IU Classical Connections Podcast, we decided to collaborate with 3 IU music scholars who are well-versed in the art and the lore of the Magic Flute: Doctoral Music Theory student Mitia d'acol, Doctoral Musicology student Miguel Arrango-Calle, and of course, our very own IU Classical Connections Vice President and Doctoral Musicology Student Mingfei Li, who will be giving the pre-opera lectures for The Magic Flute this month.

Ken is on a mission to save classical music. His story is a testament to how long-term focus on one mission can have incredible results. About 20 years ago he opened the Musical Arts Center of San Antonio, a music school which, at the time of this recording, had 1,125 students and 39 teachers. In this episode, Ken talks about how his school came to be so large and how figuring out a viable financial model for his business was critical to being able to provide sustainable careers for his teachers.
