It’s been 2+ years and counting since I started piano lessons with Ryan and his ability to keep each lesson engaging despite only online is unparalleled. I came to Ryan as an adult student desiring to re-learn piano simply as a pandemic hobby to utilize time, but through his teachings and passion, it has inspired me to pursue piano further. His patience and ability to break down concepts in an understandable way makes him one of the best instructors I’ve had to this day.

Additionally his knowledge in music is terrifyingly vast. He’s able to cater lessons to musical interests, history, and theory on the spot. Beyond highly recommending him as an instructor, I would use him on your trivia team.

I highly recommend Ryan of Notes and Numbers for math tutoring. I am a teacher myself and can speak to his skill in teaching as well as his knowledge of the subject matter.

He recently tutored me in a calculus class I needed to pass in a hurry. He was very patient and continually checked in to make sure I understood the overall concepts behind the problems.

I really enjoy your energy and the way you’re able to simplify things for a beginner like me– and your tech set up is unmatched which really makes the virtual aspect much less of a barrier 🙂

My favorite thing about August learning piano is the opportunity it provides for him to emote. He complains about having to practice (as you’d probably expect for a 10-year-old), but when he finally sits down at the piano, it usually relaxes him. Sometimes he’ll pound at the keys in frustration or if he’s tired, and I like to see that too.

Piano is providing him a great way to get his feelings out. I didn’t expect these emotional/mental health benefits of learning music, and I’m very happy for it.

Still so grateful for the help that Ryan provided for me. He was very flexible and worked around my schedule, he helped me feel confident when I was presented with a complicated equation, and was able to help me understand concepts in a way that they were retained.

I will feel way more comfortable moving forward when faced with math, and most likely will seek out help from Notes and Numbers again while I am attending school.

My reintroduction into the seemingly unending and infinitely fruitful journey of piano by your hands is by far the most profitable event of my recent life. The growth I’ve experienced is invaluable. It’s given greater meaning to my life and relationships. I can never be thankful enough.
