Hi there.

My name is Ryan Galik and I am a musician.

I compose, teach, and perform.

Feel free to read on below to see what I’ve done and what I’m up to.

 

THEORY / COMPOSITION

I’m currently working towards a PhD in music theory at the Eastman School of Music. Before that, I earned two master’s degrees in music theory and composition from Michigan State University.

My portfolio of works is here. If you’re interested in purchasing scores, click here.

If, for some strange reason, you’d like to learn about my music theory research, you can check out my CV.

TEACHING

From 2018 to 2021, I was a full-time elementary music teacher just outside of Princeton, New Jersey. Now, my primary teaching occurs as a Teaching Assistant of music theory courses at Eastman.

I teach private lessons! I have a studio of students who I offer lessons in piano, saxophone, clarinet, composition, and music theory to. If you’re interested, feel free to check out my flyer here, or just contact me here.

“ON DECK”

The On Deck tab is something of a music blog, except it’s full of anxieties, unanswerable questions, and dizzying streams of consciousness about whatever' comes to mind.
