About me
Mr. Ryan Bisson started playing the trombone in his fourth grade band, and has played ever since. He has played in many bands and orchestras throughout New England in his 10+ years as a professional trombonist. He also had a CD of trombone music release in 2024 called "Awakening". You can find it on any streaming service. His favorite instrument to teach to new students is the flute, which always poses a challenge, but is incredibly rewarding. If Mr. Bisson is not playing his trombone, you can find him out in nature practicing his rock climbing, or at home with his amazing wife Mrs. Bisson and beautiful dog Pearl.
