Mr. Ryan Wisniewski, Private Vocal Instructor
Ryan Wisniewski hails from Oceanside, CA and comes from a non-musical family; despite this, music has remained a big fixture in his life. It wasn’t until his sixth grade choir class that he started singing, but it was this exposure that began to pave the way towards a lifelong obsession! Finding his call as a singer, he attended University of Nevada, Las Vegas after graduating high school to study vocal performance and choral music education. He has been a proud member of the Barbershop Harmony Society since 2011 and an active performer with many of its top groups from California, including the Westminster Chorus, Masters of Harmony, and The Newfangled Four.
Although no stranger to the performing circuit, Ryan finds most of his joy as an active coach and clinician, and has had the pleasure of getting to travel across the country coaching ensembles and hosting clinics and workshops in an effort to share his fascination and love of the voice. He is a Certified Singing Judge within the Barbershop Harmony Society, as well as a graduate of the New York Vocal Coaching Voice Teacher program, studying with the likes of esteemed vocal pedagogue Mr. Justin Stoney. Outside of his experience in the barbershop, choral, and a capella worlds, he also has experience with and enjoys singing classical, jazz, southern gospel, and rock. He is eternally grateful for the opportunities that have blessed his singing journey thus far, and he wants nothing more than to give back and help others find their joy in singing the same way he has!
