About Ricky

Hi, my name is Ricky Gagliardi. I am 24 years old based in Hollywood, and just moved here from Spokane Washington, where I attended Whitworth University. There I received my degree in Jazz Performance, and am now attending UCLA to receive my master's in Film Scoring. I have been playing the saxophone for 16 years, and also specialize in Piano, Flute, and Clarinet. I am always eager to learn more about the arts, as well as teach the future musicians of this world! I can do online or in person lessons.

My lessons are designed to elevate your playing by blending professional insights with personalized attention.

Here’s why studying with me will take your playing to the next level:

All Levels Welcome: Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, my lessons are designed for all ages and abilities. Together, we’ll create a path to success based on your musical interests and aspirations.
