What do lessons cost?

$100 an hour at the single-lesson rate: $50 for 30 minutes, $75 for 45, $100 for 60. Monthly students pay 10% less and Full Year students 15% less. If the first lesson isn't a fit, you don't pay for it.

Where are lessons?

At Ryan's private studio on the east side of Rochester, about fifteen minutes from downtown, in your home anywhere in Monroe County (in-home adds $15 per lesson), or online at the same price as in-studio. He'll send the studio address when you schedule.

What ages and levels do you teach?

Drums from age 4 and piano from age 5, adults included. Complete beginner through advanced for drums, beginner through intermediate for piano, and foundations through jazz theory. For drums, a practice pad and a pair of sticks is enough to start. For piano, a basic keyboard is fine.
