About me

Hello! My name is Mr. Ryan Slezak and I am very excited to continue my teaching journey with the Wooster City Schools teaching team. I began teaching in Wooster during the 2015-2016 school year.  I am currently teaching K-4 music at Cornerstone Elementary and Melrose Elementary. Before coming to Wooster, I spent two years teaching elementary music at North Ridgeville City Schools. I grew up outside the Akron area and graduated from The University of Akron with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Music Education. I am married to my wonderful wife Paula, who is a 4th grade teacher, also in Wooster. We live together with our three cats - Gandalf, Luna, and Thomas. Hobbies of mine include juggling, balloon twisting, archery, scuba diving, hiking, and or course… Music! I am greatly looking forward to being able to share the joy of music with you and your children!
