Ryan is experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about music. He is able to take high level ideas in music theory and break them down in a way that is intuitive for even a beginner to understand. Highly recommend.

Ryan is a wonderful teacher! He has an amazing way of breaking down difficult concepts and his metaphors/philosophies for songwriting have led to many Eureka moments.

I have completed many lessons with Ryan. He is an outstanding musician and teacher and more than qualified to teach any level of music, from the most basic fundamentals to complex jazz theory. If you want to become a well-rounded and accomplished musician Ryan will help you get there.
