Online Guitar and Bass Lessons with a Juilliard Graduate, and Experienced Teacher. Whether it is taking students from their first lesson to their first performance, or taking the proficient player to the next level, I enjoy showing students how to play the songs they want while building a strong foundation that allows for continued growth. My performance and composing experience has given me the tools to teach technique, performance and writing skills. A graduate of The Juilliard School, experienced composer, producer, performer and experienced teacher, I help students develop sustainable technique, improve musicianship, and learn performance skills that lead to greater confidence and self-expression.
I am passionate about teaching students to play and master their instruments while focusing on what inspires and motivates them about music. I start by exploring the student’s goals and the music they enjoy, and then make a plan that allows them to gain the skills they need while still having fun, all the while progressing at a steady pace. I use my music education, teaching expertise, and skills across multiple instruments to provide an enhanced experience tailored to each student’s individual needs.
Whether it is taking students from their first lesson to their first performance, or taking the proficient player to the next level, I enjoy showing students how to play the songs they want while building a strong foundation that allows for continued growth.

I have gone from not knowing anything to playing in a band. Ryland's knowledge and patience in teaching is absolutely great. The practice sessions are always fun and encouraging.

Ryland has taught two of my kids piano both in-person and online. Both formats have worked out great. He is a patient, communicative teacher and knows how to work with students with different learning styles. My kids love their lessons and continue to learn a lot with him. Highly recommended if you're looking for music lessons.
