About Cristian C.
5.0
(1)
HELLO! My name is Cristian and I have a rather unusual history and background. I was originally a metal head who turned to piano playing because a lot of classical music sounded like my favorite band's guitar sections. After teaching myself from age 14 for 3 years, I was playing at a level that most teachers would agree was around the 8 year mark (including my first piano teacher at age 17). I took it as sign that I should pursue this piano thing.
After completing the music courses at a local community college, I got encouraged to begin teaching piano as a way to make a living. That turned out to be the best thing I had ever done for myself...I ended up loving teaching and watching my students grow as accomplished pianist. I have taught well over 150 students, some of which have been with me all these years. One thing I pride myself in is being the type of teacher who REALLY wants to see the student succeed and to see that spark in the student's eyes when they play amazing/beautiful music for the first time and they feel the excitement I had when I used to play as a teenager. That alone is my favorite part about teaching. It brings me the most joy and it is why I look forward to helping the student find their way each and every day; no matter the obstacle.

Experience
Church Pianist/Piano Teacher
Feb, 2011 - Mar, 2018Sacred Heart Catholic Church
I played along with the hymns that the church sang, but mainly taught lessons there to help fund the church on a few projects. They allowed me to teach there to make my living but also to help the church.
Piano Studio Owner
Feb, 2018 - Aug, 2020Piano Lessons
After many years of teaching at my hometown's church, I was able to find space to share with another business to teach my lessons. Due to the pandemic I have shifted to online only until further notice.
