Two book reviews in two months! Woohoo. I have been reading a little bit almost every day the last two months.

I just want to say congrats and thank you to all the groups I was involved with this past winter.

This is the time to reflect and give thanks for the year that was.

I want to talk about something today that I don't think we talk about enough in the marching arts, and percussion education in general....

Welcome to the Ryan Reed Music Book Club, where I will post a short review of each book I read this year.

Last week, I did my #10yearchallenge in a blog format. This week I wanted to make a list of things I would tell my younger self

The other thing I think of when I hear/say "The Road Here," is the 10 year challenge I keep seeing all over my social media.
