Online Lessons
Ryan was one of the pioneers in online lessons offering online content to his students beginning in 2001. In 2003, Ryan started Djembelesson.org, opening the world of quality online instruction to anyone - anywhere! While very successful, Ryan was unable to keep the site going while living in Guinea and temporarily took it down. Now back in the the U.S. and with the embergence of better streaming technology, Djembelesson is set to make a comeback in 2008.
