RYAN S

First picking up the guitar in 1998, I developed a love for all genres of music throughout the course of my career. Starting with rock, punk, and metal, I was eventually drawn to bluegrass, jazz, and more progressive music as well. I have now been teaching professionally for over 10 years specializing in songwriting and music theory.

Each lesson is catered to the individual’s interest. It is important to build a foundation of strong rhythm and proper technique. Beginning with basic fundamentals and consistent practice habits, we will work our way up to the music you love breaking down the theory behind it all along the way. 

My goal as a teacher is to help you to get the absolute most out of your instrument. Be that on guitar, bass, mandolin, or ukulele, you will find your voice and develop a musical personality of your own.

I offer lessons to all ages and skill sets. Whether this is day one learning single string songs or the established musician looking for new perspective and advanced techniques. Each week will be fun and challenging. I look forward to all of my lessons as each student nears their personal goal.
