About Ryan

Ryan is an experienced multi-instrumentalist and music teacher with over 15 years of experience, both online and in person. He studied at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), where he earned an MFA in Music Composition. At CalArts, Ryan explored experimental approaches to performance, pushing the boundaries of how instruments are "meant" to be played. His studies ranged from prepared piano (where everyday objects are placed in between the piano strings), to composing pieces with cent deviations (a technique that explores pitches between the notes of the standard Western tuning system).

Today, Ryan continues to share his passion for music through private lessons. He converted his home into a private teaching studio, where he works with students of all ages. He loves sharing his passion for music with his students while helping them discover their own voice and develop a deeper understanding of what makes music meaningful. To him, interpreting a piece of music goes beyond reading the sheet music in front of you.

Ryan’s performance credits include appearances at venues such as Walt Disney Concert Hall, NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts, and the Grammy Awards. He also records freelance work for composers and music libraries, such as Sonoton.

About the lesson

Ryan incorporates the Suzuki Method but also draws on a variety of apps, books, and resources to cover areas not emphasized in the series (such as the book "Position Pieces" by Rick Mooney). To enrich the learning experience, Ryan also accompanies his students on guitar or piano, creating duet and ensemble opportunities that make lessons more engaging, musical, and rewarding.

Ryan was fantastic! I was looking for a teacher who could help me play more in tune, and one of the first things he suggested was playing duets together. He chose a duet that was perfect for my skill level (I’ve only been playing for about a year) and gave me a variety of exercises to improve my bow technique, form, and overall control. I can’t recommend him enough.
