Community SubscriberI am a music teacher in the Redwood Heights neighborhood of Oakland giving private music lessons to kids and adults of all ages on guitar, piano, bass, trumpet, drums, ukulele, slide guitar & Hawaiian lap steel guitar, music theory and songwriting. ALL styles of music! Happy to do house calls. 30+ years of experience.
Eric Lenchner, “Professor Sludge,” gives guitar and drum lessons to my teen with ADHD and psychiatric issues—he’s great with them, very patient and kind. I know he has other students with autism, Down Syndrome, and dyslexia. His lessons are online or he makes house calls to the Berkeley/Oakland area. His number is 415-239-5390.
I can recommend Eric Lenchner who gives private trumpet lessons as “Professor Sludge.” He also teaches guitar, bass, piano and drums. He taught our kids for years and many of their school friends, and has coached many kids’ rock bands. He can be reached at eric [at] professorsludge.com.
I can recommend Eric Lenchner, who teaches as "Professor Sludge." He taught my two kids and many others that we know, as well as adults we know.

Guitar lessons for a 12 year old boy
Oct 2010
I would like to recommend Eric Linchner for guitar lessons. My 9 year-old son has been taking lessons from him for about 6 months and has learned so much. We are thrilled that he has learned so quickly and enjoys it so much. Eric has been teaching for 12 years and lives in Oakland. He also goes by Professor Sludge eric [at] professorsludge.com (eric[at]professorsludge[dot]com) Angela
Guitar Lessons for 6 yr old boy?
Aug 2010
My son is taking private lessons from Eric Lenchner in Oakland. He came highly recommended to us. My son is loving the lessons and continues to be inspired to practice and play at home. Eric teaches all ages in guitar, bass, and drums, and all styles but he specializes in rock 'n' roll. He's been a music teacher for a decade and a professioal musician before that. Here is his online brochure: http://www.professorsludge.com/
Here is a link to a SF Chronicle article about his teaching: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/06/10/DDGGG72TPN1.DTL=professor+sludge=001=1000
