Hi everyone! I'm a highly qualified and professional piano teacher with a degree in Piano Performance from SDSU and a roster of close to 30 students. I've been teaching for close to 6 years and am happy to be able to host annual recitals, masterclasses, chamber music events, and so on. Despite my professional playing ability, I pride myself in being extremely personable, fun, and funny to be around! I'm a young teacher (at a modest 24 years old), which lets me really connect with my students. It would be an understatement to say that my many students love their lessons with me! Check out some of my reviews here: https://takelessons.com/profile/ryan-cr#Reviews Here's what you can expect from me if you decide to work with me: 1) I'm always Professional, Punctual, and Polite. 2) University level piano lessons at a fraction of the cost. 3) Traditional and Modern teaching methodologies. ---------- Here are a few of my many qualifications and accomplishments as a pianist: 1) Bachelors Degree in Piano Performance from SDSU 2) Vocal / Instrumental Accompanist at SDSU 3) Chamber Musician 4) International Competition Experience - Semper Music Festival 2016. 5) Taught Class Piano at SDSU (University level group-piano lessons for music majors) I'd love to help you work towards musical excellence! I hope to hear from you soon! I look forward to our first lesson! -Ryan

Ryan is a wonderful piano teacher to our son (just turned 8). Our son wasn’t making much progress at the group sessions at our local music academy. Individual lessons have been very effective. Ryan is great with kids and finds a good balance between work and play. He gives the right amount of homework (doable without burnout). He has great energy and patience and keeps things fun with our son. We plan to start our younger son (just turned 6) with Ryan soon as well.
