Learn from Great Saxophone Teachers

I am a professional musician and multi-instrumentalist residing in Brooklyn, New York. I am primarily a saxophonist, but also double proficiently on trumpet and drums, and guitar. I have performed professionally for 13 years in NYC and internationally with a host of world class musicians.

Hello! I'm Ryan W. Tedder, originally from Tulsa, OK, and now based in Chicago, IL, where I've lived for over a decade. My musical journey began at a young age, inspired by my uncle, a Grammy-winning classical bassoonist. He gifted me a clarinet, sparking my lifelong passion for music.

I have played saxophone and piano since I was a child, so I can relate to most music students—practically all of them! I graduated from the Amadeo Roldán Conservatory in Havana, Cuba, and continued my music studies at Barry University, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in music, and at University of Miami, where I earned a master’s degree in instrumental performance.
