BETHESDA, Md., Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bach to Rock, America's music school for students of all ages, today is releasing its newest franchisee profile, spotlighting Eric Philo, the owner of two Bach to Rock music schools in Nanuet, New York and Wyckoff, New Jersey. Eric's story from a career in investments to music school owner is one that he hopes will inspire others to pursue their dreams of entrepreneurship and follow their love of music. Eric is a self-taught musician and has his master's degree in business administration. In 2017, he combined his two passions into a united venture – Bach to Rock music school ownership.

Philo discovered Bach to Rock at a trade show in New York City in 2015. He was intrigued by the business model and strategic plan, which differentiated Bach to Rock from competitors and was supported with an aggressive marketing approach. "Bach to Rock struck me as an ideal investment opportunity which would combine my love of music with my business background, so I decided to get in on the ground floor of a growing franchise." Today, as the owner of two schools, Nanuet which opened in 2017 and Wyckoff in 2022, Philo has found the experience to be rewarding and fulfilling. "I believe Bach to Rock has the power to influence students' lives in many ways, like building confidence, learning a new skill, and helping make new friends. I hope my experience can inspire other potential franchisees to consider becoming a Bach to Rock school owner. It was an excellent choice for me, has enriched my life and it was a sound investment."

"Eric Philo was one of our first franchisees. He is dedicated, has an excellent rapport with his teams and has experienced great success in his schools' communities. Eric is a role model for potential new franchisees to emulate," said Brian Gross, President of Bach to Rock.
