"As a music teacher it is my responsibility to take full advantage of the power of music learning to enrich the developing mind."
– Ryan Parker
Piano
Beginning Lessons
The piano was Ryan’s first instrument when he was only two years old and he still uses it today in his teaching, composing, and even occasionally as a performance vehicle. He began, as many young children have, with the Suzuki method, and continued his studies as a child and adolescent with Allen Barker.
Resuming his keyboard studies in college and graduate school, Ryan has worked with Francis Brancaleone at Manhattanville College and Alexie Lewis at Brooklyn College.
