    It's been fun and great taking lessons with Ryan. He explains clearly how to sing better and helps me get there. As a voice coach, he is patient, doesn't lower expectations. He is detailed, such that from his instructions, I'm learning better breath and muscle control that enables singing with sufficient energy. Thank you, Ryan.

    Ryan is a fantastic teacher! Even though I've only taken a few lessons with him, I can't help but recommend him enough. He took the time to understand my strengths and challenges, tailoring lessons to suit my learning style. As a complete beginner, this made a world of difference and helped build my confidence. He broke down complex concepts into understandable bits, making them accessible for someone just starting. The progress I've made has been noticeable even after just a few lessons, and he consistently acknowledged and celebrated them. Beyond the technical aspects, he brought joy and enthusiasm to every session. His passion for music and teaching created an enjoyable and supportive learning environment. I found myself eagerly anticipating each lesson, excited to learn and improve as a singer!
