Teaching Background

Ryan currently offers lessons to musicians and artists of all ages. Teaching is an integral part of her work as an artist, and she believes in creating a space for students to express their distinct voice through individual lesson plans and custom projects based on the student’s goals.

Ryan has taught courses in trumpet and composition catering to middle school and high school age students at the Summer Music Clinic at the University of Wisconsin-Madison since 2025. Throughout their career they have maintained private students of all ages from true beginners to advanced high school and adult students.

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe that each student deserves lessons tailored to their identity and goals. All students grow and express creativity differently. It is my job as a teacher to create a space where students feel supported in their own journey. Lessons include establishing strong artistic fundamentals, teaching standard practices, and empowering students to take on creative projects. As a teacher I identify a student’s current level and find various ways to make my knowledge accessible to them.

Lessons are available in person or online via Zoom.
