Private Drum Lessons in Bee Cave, Lakeway, and West Austin

“Ryan is an amazing teacher! He relates so well with our son and makes his lessons interactive and dynamic. He’s professional, punctual, and always provides updates about what the lesson was about. ”
My teaching style is song-oriented and revolves around teaching drums through music. I teach drum-specific techniques, music theory, and reading through the lens of specific songs chosen by either myself or the student. Students typically learn a new song every 4-6 weeks, keeping lessons fresh and fun!

“Ryan is an excellent educator. My wife and I (both musicians, but not drummers) signed our son up for lessons at a local studio, but we weren’t happy with the quality of educators that we found there. Luckily we had Ryan recommend to us and we couldn’t be happier. Our son has never been so excited to practice and has improved leaps and bounds in the few months that he’s been taking lessons with Ryan.”
