All about Ryan's classes...

  • With his curriculum and teaching approach Ryan's aims to introduce melodic, harmonic and rhythmic ideas in a fun and imaginative way while instilling a fundamental understanding of how music works through a variety of movement activities, instrumental explorations and a healthy dose of fun group sing-a-longs! 


  • Lessons explore an array of musical concepts such as dynamics, tempo, pitch, and timbre through engaging activities and musical games. Classes also have a strong focus on melodic recognition and solfege intervallic training through weekly Do-Re-Mi vocal exercises and studies.


  • Shakers, rhythm sticks and other percussive instruments are brought in regularly for the children to explore and develop a strong sense of rhythm. 


  • As a multi-instrumentalist Ryan also loves bring in and feature many of his instruments whether it be guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin or harmonica. 


  • Classes feature songs spanning a wide range of musical genres including all the favorite children’s songs plus some Beatles, Motown, Rolling Stones, and other pop tunes mixed in for good measure! Learning about musical genres from around the world and highlighting how universal and connective music can be between people of all backgrounds is a key concept of Ryan's music classes.


  • New elements and songs are always being added to the lessons and each session is curated to match the unique group of children in the room. Ryan loves to discover the children's favorite songs, follow their curiosity and be reflective in his teaching approach.


  • Classes run 20 to 30 minutes in length with a general requirement of at least three classes per weekly or bi-weekly visit with a preferable semester long commitment. Alternate arrangements can also be made and there is certainly flexibility in finding what works best for your center :)

All in all, Ryan feels incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to share his love of music with young and growing minds every day. Studies show introducing music at a young age helps to develop language, social skills, emotional health, motor skills, memory, mathematics skills and overall academic achievement. Moreover, music and art teach people how to express themselves, how to communicate to the world in a universal language, and perhaps even more important, how to listen to others. Music, at its core, is a community based art form and it is meant to bring people together. So let’s get jammin' together now!
