Since 2003, Ryan has been active as a composer, arranger, instructor, adjudicator, and clinician with several musical organizations. In his capacity as composer/arranger, Williams works with the directors and other staff members to decide on the music to be used and how it should be structured for the performance at hand. His repeated work with directors/programs and the success of the performers is a testament to the quality of work and the success of the performers.

One of the frequently asked questions among Directors of small Marching Bands is "What can I do to elevate the level of performance for my small Marching Band?" The first answer is always "Use custom arranged music!" The custom arranged shows that Ryan has provided have set my students up for success. He writes to my individual students strength and weaknesses and provides us with quality music that is both challenging and achievable. 
We have been working with Ryan for three years. This year our Marching Band of 13 winds 6 percussion and 9 guard earned our schools first rating of Superior. In addition we were this years Group 1A Champions in the Tournament of Bands Region II. We had been experience varied degrees of success prior to working with Ryan but something was missing. The pride of ownership my students take with a show that has been arranged just for them has made a huge difference. No matter how carefully you shop for "stock" shows nothing can compare with custom arranged music. If you are a Director of any size band asking "What can I do?" get in touch with Ryan.

Ryan is well educated, well organized, and an exceptional musician/composer. In my 14 years as a Music Educator, he’s been my “go-to guy” for the Marching Arts due to his extensive knowledge of the idiom. While his original works and arrangements have brought home numerous gold medals to the various programs I teach, the real benefit is the growth that my students experience from learning and performing his demanding but achievable music. Ryan’s arranging challenges me as a director and an educator, but more importantly his writing sets my students up for success each year. He has been a fantastic addition to our design team here at Middletown High School and I’m thrilled to not only call him a colleague, but my friend.

Through his arrangements, Ryan brought to life the spirit and intent of our musical show design.   He's very easy to work with and is able to tailor arrangements to our student's abilities.    Ryan also approaches writing music for the marching arts as a collaboration between all of the parties involved.  We've consistently gotten reviews from adjudicators and other bands about the integration of our musical books.

We had a fantastic end of our season! We received high visual and high guard and came extremely close to high music. We absolutely loved the book this year and look forward to working with you for next year! Thank you so much for your help this year! It was by far our best season in the [Competitive] Circuit and we really finished the season on a positive note! ​

We got to work with Ryan for the first time the past season; he has done a great job adjusting to the unique requirements of a European Drum Corps. Ryan adds great value to the design process and is not afraid to go the extra mile when it comes to the overall concept.
We also got to work with him personally for over a month. Both members and staff were able to benefit from his wide range of knowledge in both teaching and musical background.

I have been working with Ryan for several years now in both the concert hall and the marching arts.  His product is always first-rate and enjoyable for both the audience and the performer.  He is wonderful with the students and cares about the programs that he works with.  Ryan is the whole package.
