a word from ryan
Hello everyone,
My name is Ryan and this is supposed to be fun. I want you to look forward to your lesson, so rest assured that if you are having a bad week or didn't get to practice, we will do whatever it takes to get you back on track. Music lessons with me are supposed to make you feel better about yourself, not worse.
No one ever wakes up one day and regrets that they can play guitar. Being able to sit at a piano and make everyone sing along is the best feeling. Everyone has the same goal - become your favorite musician. If you ever had doubts about your musical ability, just know that human’s evolved to sing. We learned it from the birds who figured it out first, and look how cool their lives are! It is as natural as breathing and as satisfying as eating. I’m not a doctor, but I prescribe at least 20 minutes of music day.
Where do i start?
The best day to plant a tree was yesterday. Let’s get this train going. I hired a fancy website person to make this as easy as possible. Packages are $200 for four lessons. They, on average, last an hour. I will never go less than an hour if you feel up to it.
