About the Teacher - Eric Mendoza

Hello everyone!

My name is Eric Mendoza and I’m excited to be back at St. Giles as the Music Teacher.

I hold a bachelors degree in Music performance and Education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Go ILLINI!). I still perform frequently in the United States and abroad (Mexico, Switzerland, Spain, Czech Republic, Poland, to mention a few). My focus is in Opera, Art songs, Musical theatre and the Spanish Repertoire. I love singing and my passion is to share this musical talent with everyone. I also tend to perform often in the Chicago area-land, to check any of my upcoming performances you can visit my website at www.EricJoseMendoza.Wixsites.com/Home

Aside from performing I enjoy teaching: In a group setting, giving masterclasses, private lessons, etc. This is my second year teaching at St. Giles School and I am glad to be part of a wonderful community and have incredible colleagues. I look forward in making fantastic music and making this year an awesome musical experience for all of my students.

Contact me at emendoza@stgilesschool.org if you have any questions or concerns.

“Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.” Psalm 150:3-6
