There is not enough space to write about how great Ryan is as a teacher and person. Taking lessons from Ryan has been a truly amazing experience. He has such great patience, a wonderful teaching style, and is so easy to communicate with. If anyone has ever even thought about trying something new or learning to play bass, this is your guy. Not only is he a great teacher, he is a gifted musician and is passionate about what he does. The little things do matter to him. Jacob

Ryan is an amazing bass guitar teacher. My daughter had only played flute when at the end of the school year her teacher said she could be in Jazz Band if she would play bass guitar. I called another instructor who said it wasn't possible. Ryan helped us with every step of getting her set up with equipment. He is a very patient, supportive, and fun instructor. Thanks to Ryan, my daughter started the school year very prepared for Jazz Band and is excited to keep taking lessons and get to be the best bass guitar player she can be!

Ryan is doing a great job teaching me bass guitar! It is so refreshing to have someone who is a BASS PLAYER, not just another guitar player. I truly believe his instructions, especially in the fundamentals of bass guitar music is helping me progress much faster than I otherwise would have. As i'm an older student (retired school teacher) his personalized approach is really useful. I have some previous music experience, but because it has been MANY years since I played the tuba, his patience is much appreciated. If you want to learn to play the bass, Ryan is the man!

Ryan has been such a blessing to our son. He really tries hard to make the lesson fun and challenging at the same time. Ryan never seems to get upset even when he knows my son hasn't practiced as much as he should have. My son says the best thing about Ryan is his attitude.

My, My. Ryan is quite a character, all in a good way! I have a passion for music but am not that good and to be honest, music is difficult to master. Ryan makes it easy to understand and he really works with you to try and help you really understand what it's all about. I definitely recommend this guy. Ryan is great. I have taken lessons on various instruments and with various people, Ryan is by far the best that I have ever had the experience of knowing. He isn't in a rush to get his job done. He works on an individual needs. He really does help you understand music, he's patient, and very kind. He will not judge you, make fun of you. He will always try to make the most of the time with you. He's very encouraging. You need to see him for all of your bass needs! -Mary
