My name is Ryan T, and I am a guitarist and vocalist with a degree in Music Education major from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. I have been teaching guitar, music theory, and songwriting lessons to students of all ages for the past seven years.

I am excited to draw on my experience as an educator and as a band leader to teach students the tools and techniques necessary to make the music they love.

I work with all of my students to foster their creativity, confidence, and curiosity, as I believe these are the qualities that are essential for a skilled musician. Music is a powerful language that is common to all people. I am a musician because it allows me to express myself artistically, to relate my experience to others, and because it moves me!

Students who take lessons with me will have the opportunity to learn acoustic and electric guitar technique, music theory, music notation, ear training, songwriting techniques, recording techniques, and how to work with...

I've been a full time professional musician for 13+ years and have toured all over the world performing with music icons like Chacka Khan, Beyonce, and many more. I have a lot of experience with many different styles of music and I love sharing this gift with anyone who's interested. My teaching philosophy is simple: Get students playing music! It's much easier to understand the nuts and bolts of music when put into the context of the music you like.

As a composer, conductor and experienced choral singer, Sean G demonstrates great versatility as a musician.

Sean also sang for two and a half years with the choirs at St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle under Dr. Mel Butler and Brian Fairbanks before moving to the east coast for further study.

I have been working with students of all ages for the past six years as a private and group lesson instructor, bandleader and clinician. At a summer camp in New York I would regularly have kids from other sections sitting in on my classes because of the creative and exciting learning environment that I create.

As a graduate of Berklee College of Music I have experienced every genre and teaching method. As a result I can shape my curriculum to the student's personal interests and preferred learning style. During lessons I take a solid foundation of music theory and technical practice and place it in context to modern musical examples, allowing students to understand the material on their own terms. I am patient, animated and I love what I do!

I am one of those individuals for whom teaching is just something that I have to do. I started giving music lessons sometime in the 80’s and have loved working with all levels of skill and experience. My students say that I am patient, adaptive and encouraging, committed to making music fun.

I have a Masters of Music from New England Conservatory in Jazz Piano and am comfortable and fluent in a number of musical styles, including pop, rock, gospel, traditional hymnody, jazz, and R&B. Although I love and study classical music, it is not something I teach at this point.

In addition to private lessons and performing, I do music transcription, workshops, and all forms of vocal and instrumental arranging. Having served as a church musician for more than 30 years, I currently co-lead the worship team at Life Church in Boston with my wife. I recently signed on as the keyboard player for Tall Enough, a Boston-based alternative rock band. I often find myself involved in city-wide...

I have taught piano and voice most of my adult life. Early on I learned the need to adapt my teaching style to the uniqueness of each student, especially those whose perceptions differ widely from the general populace. I love what I do, helping each student discover and nurture their abilities, no matter what age the student may be.

The Holistic Piano method is especially effective with my Autism-spectrum students, a segment of the population I find particularly rewarding to teach.

The following is a quote from ex-student Karena Krull, author of "Drama Made Easy", and "Rummy Roots."

“Her greatest strength is her ability to find the right direction for each individual. This ability to adapt to the student's needs lends to individual success for student and avoids their frustration. If her current method or communication isn't creating success for a student she will quickly change to another till she finds the right words or method to enable the student to succeed...

When I was ten years old I heard Led Zeppelin I for the first time and knew instantly that I wanted to be a musician. I went on to pick up the guitar and drums and have yet to put them down. Through many different platforms (bands, jazz ensembles, University, radio, solo play, teaching) I have always found a way to make music part of my everyday life. Since my senior year of high school I have taught folks of all ages and helped them achieve their unique and individual goals. With a relevant, relationship-based curriculum, I wish to help you fulfill your ambition and learn how to have the most fun you've ever had.
