About Aven
Hi, I'm Aven Ryan. I'm excited to bring my skills as a guitarist, singer and songwriter to engage my students in the joy of making music! During my lessons I engage students with productive, skill-based exercises that lead to steady, meaningful progress.
Whether you're brand new or refining your skills, I can help you build healthy practice habits and develop your artistry. With a catalog of my own original songs 15+ and several curated cover set lists, I bring real-world experience into each lesson. My goal is to help students stay engaged, expressive, and excited about their musical journey!

I tailor every lesson to meet each student’s individual goals, whether it's your first entrance into the world of music or you've been at it for 40 years. I can help you refine your songwriting, composition/arrangement skills and even your performance ability.
Teaching Methodology:
Strong focus on building a foundation in rhythm, chord knowledge, and ear training. For songwriting, I help students develop lyrical ideas, structure songs effectively, and explore melody writing using both intuition and theory. I emphasize collaborative learning, making lessons interactive and inspiring.
A Typical Lesson:
A standard 60-minute session might include:
A quick warm-up (chords, scales, rhythm)
Reviewing previous material or songs
Exploring new techniques or songwriting tools
Creative time—improvisation, writing, or arranging
Feedback and Q&A
Lessons are goal-oriented but always leave room for creativity and exploration.
What Sets Me Apart:
As a student myself, currently enrolled at Vancouver Community College for music and songwriting, I am actively engaged in the music scene. I bring fresh relevant insight. As well as being able to provide students with cutting edge techniques, and a supportive, peer-like environment for learning. I know what it's like to be a student, and I aim to make music feel accessible and exciting, not intimidating.
Who the Lessons Are For:
All levels—beginners who want to strum first chords, songwriters developing their sound, and intermediate players seeking to expand their skill set. Whether you're a elementary, high school student, adult learner, or aspiring music major, I’ll meet you where you are and help you achieve your goals.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Aven has been a great friend of mine for many years. He’s kind, respectful, and a natural teacher. Back in high school, I heard him playing a song I really liked and told him how much I wished I could play guitar. He encouraged me to try, assured me it was easier than I thought, and within an hour, he had taught me how to play my first song. That moment really showed me how patient and supportive he is—qualities that make him an excellent teacher.
