Reviews
These reviews reflect the kind of impact I aim to make with every program, team, or business I support.
"Ryan came in for vertical alignment reinforcement within our band and orchestra programs. He is a great
presenter and highly personable. Having been to state contest himself and done so through strong vertical teaming, his message reinforced our already present philosophies and gave us external input and suggestions for increased success in those areas."

"Mr. Agard came to our district to work with all of our band programs (16 schools in 4 days!) During his visit to my campus, he made a tremendous impact on our students and staff. His engaging personality allows him to instantly connect to the kids. He brings a wealth of knowledge, and has many techniques that will bring rapid positive changes to an ensemble. If you are looking for a great clinician, you owe it to yourself to consider having Mr. Agard visit your campus. We look forward to having him back in the
future!"

"I hired Ryan Agard as a clinician/consultant for our 6A Marching Band in Texas. Ryan did detailed prep work on our show before he even showed up. He came in the door with a plan of what was needed to be addressed and how to get us to the next level. His expertise is higher than anyone who has worked with our marching band. I highly recommend hiring Ryan to work with your program!"

"From the rehearsal that was observed, I felt that the information was very direct and is exactly what the students needed to hear. The students were very responsive and got great info. From the directors view, I got the most out of our meeting that we had with all the assistants and how we can improve as a whole."

"It's rare to meet someone who embodies passion for music the way Ryan Agard does. His ability to stay humble in life while being great is to be admired and appreciated. His students will tell you he's a "Go for the Gold" kind of Director and truly that's how he has modeled his life. He inspires you with his dedication to bettering the world of music while proving that hard work and consistency is what makes dreams a reality."

"Having known Ryan for almost 30 years, he is an absolute class act. His knowledge and skill set while working with young musicians is one of the best around. Ryan has proven time and time again that he
knows what it takes to take a band program to an elite level. His information is sound and proven to work. You can't go wrong with having him work with your program!"

"Ryan is one of the most captivating clinicians to work with my band. He’s engaging with students of all levels and gives them feedback that not only improves their performance but also helps them take
ownership of their ensemble experience. He’s detailed and goes above and beyond in helping directors improve their pedagogy and how they motivate students. I’m very glad that he’s working with our staff!"
