Ruben Malán Piano Studio 4012 Forsythe Way, Tallahassee, FL 32309

"My experience with Dr. Ruben Malan is the reason why I have continued into the FSU College of Music pursuing a degree in Choral Music Education, all the while continuing my piano training. When it comes to instructors, few match the wealth of knowledge that Dr. Malan possesses. He is extremely well-read in many different approaches to technique, and his attention to subtle nuance in musicality and style is nothing short of inspiring. He has proven his phenomenal teaching ability with all ages and all skill levels, and more importantly than anything, has the student’s best interest at heart. He is not content to simply teach notes. He will train his students to be musicians, in every sense of the word; he, by exposing his students to true art can have a true impact on their development, not only as artists, but as human beings. He teaches empathy, musical sensitivity, and discipline, attention to detail, pride in doing a job to the best of your ability, and love of the instrument. I would not, by any means, be the same person without his instruction, and even today, I am still so extremely grateful for his presence in my life. Thanks Dr. Malan for being my coach, mentor, and true friend."

"My son has been learning piano with Dr. Malan for more than 3 years. Dr. Malan is a passionate and highly skilled piano teacher. He not only teaches the piano skills, but also how to understand and appreciate music. My son has improved a lot since he started learning piano with him. Every time before Music level exam, he always spends extra time with my son and make sure he can put his best and pass the test. He is also a very funny and energetic person. You will never get bored during his class. All in all, he is the best piano teacher and we are lucky to have him teach my son."

"I am an actress, singer and dancer living in Los Angeles. I took classes with Dr. Malan for about 5 years and my younger brother has been with him for 7 years. In my time with him Dr. Malan not only helped me grow as an artist but as a person. His passion for the arts is inspirational. His professionalism is impeccable. He helped me cultivate the artist inside of me and taught me the true power that lies within music and how we as artists have a gift of affecting others and making an impact on their lives. The piano is such a beautiful instrument that not only can make an impact mentally, but emotionally, and spiritually. Dr. Malan truly loves what he does and always strives to see his students improve. His piano technique is unmatchable and he works with all age ranges as well as all levels of experience. Dr. Malan will push you to where you need to go and will accept no less than your best! If you are looking for a quality and professionalism look no more. Dr. Malan embodies an instructor and a fellow artist that does not only teach but inspires others to explore art through music."

"Dr. Malan is a highly skilled, well-learned pianist. He is an excellent performer and top teacher. He is able to relate to kids and teach them the proper techniques in piano playing. He is passionate about teaching his students so they reach their highest potentials. I have seen his students mature into great pianists. They have won numerous top awards in either local, regional, and state competition. One example is my daughter. She has learned from Dr. Malan from a kindergardner to a great artist. If you are serious about learning the piano with someone who is a high achiever, Dr. Malan is the teacher for you. I have recommended him to many. He is also a great performer! He is the best!

"I have known Dr. Malán and his work as a musician and a piano teacher for over twenty years. Dr. Malan’s exceptional abilities as a pianist and as an educator, his dynamic energetic personality, his unique character, his knowledge and experience, makes a combination that is hardly surpassed and highly distinguishes him from the rest. From what I know and I already hear from many parents who have or did have children studying with him, I convincingly and openly can say echoing many of his customers, that Dr. Malán is the best piano teacher in town, and his piano studio is the top option to get a serious, competitive, and well rounded music and piano instruction in Tallahassee, period."
