About Ryan

I have been playing drums for 16 years and teaching privately for 6 years. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree with a General Major and Music Technology & Production Minor from MacEwan University, as well as a diploma in Drum Set Performance. Aside from teaching, I lead a Jazz trio called Travel Delays. I play a variety of genres but my interests currently lie within the realms of Funk, Jazz, Neo-Soul, RnB, and Hip-Hop.

Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced player looking for a fresh perspective I’ve got you covered. Regardless of your age or skill level, I will work with you to identify your goals and together we will come up with a plan that gets you where you want to be as effectively as possible. My teaching style is fairly relaxed and my main priority is that my students are engaged and having fun. I aim to create a learning environment where there is no such thing as a stupid question and where you can become comfortable with unfamiliar concepts.
