Private Guitar tutoring lessons West Jordan, UT.

I teach all styles of guitar. I've been teaching guitar for over fifty years. I studied classical guitar from the great Brazilian guitarist Seko Sesoko. I've played classical guitar in Theater and for private weddings and formal dinners. I've played rock and pop guitar with small combos, variety bands, and wedding bands. I've Played jazz guitar in combos and big bands. I have a strong background in applied guitar theory for chord and scale studies. I teach all styles including the blues. You will love my lessons. We have a lot of fun learning together. My studio is very professional and private.

Ryan's goal is to help students be able to grow a deeper passion for music and attain the skills needed to express themselves musicially.

Lessons are designed to help students not only learn to play the songs they love, but learn how those songs were built and how they can pull the songs apart and create something of their own.

I tailor my lessons to meet student goals. I help students learn basic chords and strumming patterns, learn to sing while playing, understand how to read notes, tabs and chord charts, understand power chords and basic music theory, play popular songs of the past or present, learn basic scales and improvisation skills, and even write their own songs! You can search my music on Spotify or iTunes for a sample of my style. My album is called "Songs from Pablo's Attic."

I can play any song just by listening to it once or twice. Three times if it is really difficult. I can do this with guitar, drums, bass, piano, or harmonica. I am intermediate at trumpet, violin, mandolin, and ukulele as well and have 6+ years of teaching music experience.

With all my lessons you should expect to learn a lot about yourself. I approach each student differently depending on your learning style. I hope to make learning fun but that doesn't mean I'm not going to challenge you every week to get better.

I love working with beginners because I get take away the fear that they might have in learning guitar and build their enthusiasm and excitement to learn with my fun, up beat, and often humorous teaching style. We make sure to cover the foundations essentials to learn to play music but also understand the make up of the music we play. I structure my lessons around teaching using popular standards but also to encorporate popular song of the day that my students typically like. Because that is why we want to play!! We want to play what we like!!

Lessons crafted to meet student's individual needs. Being Suzuki certified and classically trained, but also coming from a background in rock, blues, and jazz allows me to teach in a way that combines the best of both worlds. Learn theory, technique, and sight reading, along with improvisation.
