About Ryan
Teaching has been an incredible experience for me and one that comes with deep satisfaction to be able see people progress and sometimes in such a short time achieve decent playing ability and an understanding of their instrument. I have noticed that students also learn how to teach themselves after so many lessons when they pick up on our methods. Like being able to to break down and structure rhythms, into songs. It does not feel like a job to me, more a passion one that never fails to excite or bring enjoyment as my students learn.
About the lesson

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I teach all ages at all levels, and I have been teaching for three years at the Art Station music school.
The lesson will be customised to your level and direction in which you want to take. Active counting is used when learning new rhythms. You will learn how to improvise rudiments into drum fills, then add those into structured rhythms. Depending on your progression we may also incorporate drum tap, and drum notation.
I have 25 years playing experience. I have played at international music festivals, toured with a Big band, Currently in a jazz quartet, I gigged with a groove metal cover band for 6 years. I have and still gig classic rock, funk, blues, pop, disco. I actively practise and like to play often, Funk fusion with swing, jazz rock, metal ,gospel. drum and bass, Disco and trap.
Overall my lessons are fun and my students have a good laugh while learning.

I've had drumming lessons with Ryan for a couple of years now, and really enjoy them. He finds a good balance between learning all the basic skills while also learning actual songs I've listened to all my life, adjusting the drum part if needed. He's very encouraging with getting me to take up new challenges (a more challenging song or drill), but also very accommodating of my pace, breaking things down to more manageable parts if needed, which makes it very easy to learn. There have been plenty of drum parts I wasn't confident with when I first heard them, but somehow he finds out what steps I need to get there. Definitely recommend him!
