Hi, I'm Ryan! From day to day, I do everything from composing, to teaching students, to building electronic instruments at my studio in Southern Oregon. I specialize in extended-range guitars, as well as producing music for soundtracks. Throughout the years I've had the pleasure of writing and performing classical, jazz, rock, funk, metal, R&B, hip-hop, and many things in between. My academic background lies in the intersection of mathematics and music - I have given talks on music cognition, the physics of sound, and methods of overtone-based analysis at events like the Southern Oregon Arts and Research Conference and the Ronald E.

My methods tend to vary based on the student's particular needs. For young students, I would say up to the age of 12, I like to use the Beginning Mel Bay books, because they have a nice, even approach that introduces fundamentals. For students older than 12, the Berklee books "A Modern Method for Guitar" are my go to. Also at this age, I introduce the concept of transcription. After about 16 or so, if the student shows that they are passionate and have the attention span to stick with something that isn't easy at first glance, I graduate them to Mick Goodrick's "The Advancing Guitarist." At this point, they should have some grasp of ear training and transcription, so they will be picking solos and tunes they are challenged by and are excited to learn. Read More

I am a dedicated musician and teacher beginning my fifth year in Portland. My background is multi-disciplinary: on top of my musical coursework I hold degrees in poetry and language. I am a songwriter as well as an instrumentalist and composer. I believe creativity and originality are very valuable parts of musical expression that sometimes get overlooked! I have more than three years experience playing in local bands, and I am well-versed in the Portland music scene (though I continue to add to my knowledge!) Read More
