Learn How To Play The Guitar with Ryan Boldery

Meet Andrianna….

Andrianna has been playing guitar with Ryan at Boldery Music Academy since March 2022! She is typically shy by nature but we have loved watching her grow as a musician! We’ve talked her into participating in a few workshops and even though she will reluctantly do it, she’s really enjoyed them so far!

Here at Boldery Music Academy, we are creating musicians for life.

Let’s throw out the old way of learning music and let’s create something more, something beautiful!

“once a musician, always a musician”

At Boldery Music Academy we teach music differently! We want to enrich our students lives by not only providing weekly music lessons but by also giving the opportunity to learn different aspects of being a musician.

Ryan Boldery

Owner | Guitar Coach

Hello! I am so excited that you are interested in guitar lessons, either for yourself or someone you love! Let me tell you a little bit about me and hopefully we see you soon and get to know you!

I am professional guitarist based out of the Cincinnati area. I have a Bachelor of Music performance from Northern Kentucky University and have an extensive performance history that has taken me all over the country. I am is well versed in many different styles of music from jazz to modern pop music. While maintaining a strict daily schedule, I serve as the lead guitarist for one of Cincinnati’s most successful wedding/event bands, “The Touchables.”

I have dedicated my life to this passion and hope to bring that passion to my students. I originally began the “Walton School of Music” in 2014 through a local community church; teaching to mainly Walton students. As my classes grew, I took on a new path within my own brand, Boldery Music Academy. I strive to teach my students practice, discipline and success within their own journey.

Why Take Guitar Lessons at Boldery Music Academy?

Easy.. We’re more than just a lesson only school!

Not every child learns the same. With that being said we offer lessons in both a group setting and private settings!

Our lesson plans are based on your personal goals and aspirations, making each lesson unique to you!

On top of learning your new instrument, you will have the opportunity to join other students during our community events, show off your skills with our various performance opportunities and become a part of our community.

Meet Cooper…

Group Classes

Our most popular program is our group lessons!

Younger kids who are in a traditional learning environment at school tend to gravitate toward our group learning experience. These classes have a way of forming amazing friendships among other musicians and keeping younger students more engaged week to week. The secret to the success of this program is how it combines music education with fun group-based activities that keeps the lessons fresh and exciting so your child will love coming to music class!


Perfect for musicians with a bit more experience or heavier aspirations.

We have found that private lessons are best suited for musicians who have prior experience and wanting to refine their skills or if they have something specific, they are working toward. Learning an instrument is hard work, there are no short cuts. Thats why at BMA we believe that organization and planning are the differences that set us apart in our private lesson experience.

Private Classes
