My name is Ryan Dowell and Range of Sounds is my attempt to help more people enjoy music.

Sounds pretty simple, right?

Well, it’s a whole lot more than that. There have been countless studies showing that when people engage in creative activity their mental health improves.

This seems to be especially true of music whether that’s listening to music or making it.

But getting into music can be intimidating. There’s a ton of jargon, even more slang and not to mention the skill it takes to perform well. Our mission at Range of Sounds is to simplify the entire process by making music easier to understand and easier to appreciate.

Whether that’s an article on the best gear, a step-by-step guide to making a specific genre of music, or just answering questions we think it all helps people enjoy music.
