In Carlton Woods, I was looking to try different music styles, and Ryan ’s piano lessons were perfect. Playing Broadway, pop, and soft rock made me actually look forward to practicing each day.

Starting piano as a teen with no experience felt intimidating at first but learning with Ryan in East Rockford has been a great experience. he teaches on a digital piano and uses lots of visual aids that make it easier to understand rhythms and remember notes. Thanks to his clear and encouraging approach I am now making progress on my very first complete pop song arrangement.

Renee demonstrated her progress by playing "Ode to Joy" after practicing the scales. The importance of discipline in their musical practice was a key topic, alongside the necessity of accurate fingering when tackling scales with sharps and flats.

During a recent piano lesson, Ryan guided Renee through exercises on scales and the hymn 'Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee.' Renee focused on practicing scales in G major, C major, D major, and F minor, and also worked on enhancing the smoothness of her playing for the hymn, specifically with each hand independently.
