Join My Waitlist

Hi, my name is Olivia Ryder and I am a private piano teacher. I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2020 and have been teaching for 5 years. I am relocating to Sacramento this May. I grew up in the Bay Area, where my love for music began listening to artists like Joe Zawinul, Bill Evans, and Carole King. After years of classical training I joined my high school jazz band to help expand my knowledge of other genres. Furthering this, I attended Berklee College of Music in 2016 to deepen my skills, sharpen my ear training, and to learn more about jazz harmony and classical theory. Teaching has been my absolute joy since graduating. I currently have 40 students in the Bay Area with a waitlist of over 50. While I will be parting ways with my Bay Area students, I am relocating to Sacramento and am excited for new students to join my studio. My teaching philosophy centers around helping students find their own passion for music. I strive to create a comfortable environment for students to have space to make mistakes and explore new genres. I incorporate ear training and music analysis into ever lesson as I believe it is vital to be a well rounded musician. Spots fill up quickly, so join the waitlist now to be first in line when I begin accepting students this Summer. I am looking for students who are motivated and excited to explore music. I hope you join my studio!
