About Ryan B.
Close
I've been teaching banjo for 4 years helping students develop a love for the instrument and learn more about music along the way. My specialty is Scruggs style picking, but I'm also comfortable teaching clawhammer, reno, or melodic styles and enjoy working on hybrid and progressive styles, too. Within the first few lessons you'll have a solid base of picking and chord changes and even a few simple songs under your belt. Moving on from there I will craft lessons to move you toward a "goal song," making sure to cater your progress to your needs while keeping a focus on good technique. I enjoy working with students of all ages and experiences and I can't wait to meet you!
About Ryan
As a teacher Ryan's goals are fairly simple. First and foremost he wants to make his lessons comfortable, interesting and fun. A close second is to build a strong foundation on the basics, so as we learn more advanced techniques we have a solid base of technique to build upon. And third, an understanding of the theory and history behind the music is a great way to engage in the music beyond just the rote learning of technique.
After a brief foray in physics, Ryan settle into a degree in music at the Univer
Currently Ryan is a co-lead singer, songwriter and stringed instrument player for the local band Distant Brothers, a folk rock band based out of Chicago. They play venues throughout the Midwest, with some of the notable venues being House of Blues, Metro and Cubby Bear in Chicago. Another highlight of his time with the band has been a collaboration with Oistrakh Symphony Orchestra, where he not only was able to play in collaboration with the orchestra, but joined in the arranging and conceptualization of some of the pieces played.

I am UNIQUE! I have been giving private music lessons since 1980. I teach 3-finger Scruggs style and 3-finger Melodic banjo, and Clawhammer or frailing style. I teach alternate tunnings to give your banjo playing a more unique sound. I can teach you to play any style of music from Bluegrass to Blues to Jazz to Classical. I can write tab for you. I can teach you to transcribe sheet music into banjo tab. I am patient. I have a Masters degree in Education. You are afraid you can't learn to play music because of your age? I have taught students between the ages of 7-83. You are afraid your arthritis or some injury will prevent you from being a good banjo player? I have 2 plates and 9 screws in my right wrist and arthritis in my fingers and I can still play FAST. I can teach you banjo as a form of physical therapy.
