MORE ABOUT ERIK SLÄTTBERG:

”One of the greatest things to experience is to be a part of another humans growth. Music is a great tool for growth – not just for the musical practice in itself, but also for your growth as a human being”

If I would describe myself with just a few words I would say that i’m creative, organized, detail oriented, and that I like humans. I was born at the west coast of Sweden in 1989, near the city of Gothenburg. I started playing guitar at the age of thirteen, but realized a few years later that piano was a better fit for my taste. The ability to control the harmonies, to fill out, and to have an instrument that was so closely related to composition felt very intriguing, which made piano an easy choice. After many hours of playing and ten years of musical education I now live in Örebro, where I work as musician and piano teacher.

The thing I like the most with this work – both as as musician and as a teacher – is to contribute to another persons journey as they grow. That in return, makes me grow and get better at what I do.

As a person I have always been intrigued by finding new insights, and new perspectives to look upon things. To constantly challenge, grow and refine the things i’ve learned. After many years of experimenting – both in my musical practice and on a personal level, i’m now as a result of that, also offering coaching, consultation and video courses dedicated to specific musical areas.

Music is part of all most areas in my life. Sometimes it is beautiful, sometimes funny, introspective, groovy, harsh, soft, pleasant, dark, cozy or in any other way interesting. I see music a language. A language where I can share and communicate things that might not always be possible to express in word. That in itself makes music a very interesting form of expression. In how many areas except art are we given to chance to express something else than what goes on in our thoughts and in the intellectual parts of the being?

It doesn’t always matter so much what I play. If I like it, it is good. I have experience in a lot of different styles, but my own compositions usually becomes some kind of mixture between jazz, pop and classical music.
