Note From Ryan Aceituno - Founder

The moment you discover your gift, there is no time to waste. This is how I have felt ever since I came into contact with music. I've been surrounded by musical instruments ever since I was 2 years old, and ever since then I have received every opportunity to succeed and nurture my musical talents. Carrying so many generous experiences with me, I have now graduated from Stetson University with a degree in Music and Psychology, and I have worked in almost every aspect of the music, from performing in multiple venues, experimenting with audio recording, to teaching a variety of music classes. I eventually realized that my true passion for music lies in extending my knowledge to others. I currently mentor dozens of young future artists, manage an online music store, and am currently establishing the Ryan Ace Music Foundation in the Central Florida area. I hope that one day I will be able to nurture and give the joy of music to everyone in a generous way.

Meet Leonardo Flores. He embarked on his musical journey at the age of ten, as a self-taught guitar player. In Honduran high school days, he conquered competitive music circuits nationally and abroad. Guiding the strings as lead guitarist, he toured Honduras with bands, spotlighted by "Honduras Canta." The Armonia music academy saw Leo metamorphose into a music mentor, launching his teaching vocation. Honduras resonated with his private tutelage. He continued his studies in jazz harmony with the renowned teacher Jake Estner. Furthermore, Leonardo honed his skills in music production and advanced composition techniques through mentorship under Javier Reyes, a prominent figure in the acclaimed band Animals as Leaders.

These studies propelled him into session work as a music producer and composer within Honduras. Leo's contributions encompass significant roles as a lead guitarist in multiple Honduran bands. His teaching approach is distinguished by his incorporation of diverse cultural techniques, methods, and perspectives into music education.
