From Rehearsal to the Stage
Teaching rock bands at PopShop and introducing high school students to live sound—two ways Ryan connects learning with a real performance.

Live sound with Pocahontas County High School
Ryan taught a two-day introduction to audio and live sound for a Pocahontas County High School class during Dom Flemons’s October 2023 visit to the Opera House. Students then put those lessons to work, helping run sound for a Flemons performance.
