Hobbies
I love working with people of all ages and being in a constant state of growth. My personal interests that I'm most passionate about are songwriting, music history, and creative writing, though my skills span far beyond that scope. For more information, see my website at rileyannsound.com I currently teach part-time teaching private music lessons and gig as a working musician. However, I'm still passionate about teaching in any capacity, and I'd love to work together!
