Welcome to 

The Rhythm Tree

Do you have a loved one who lights up when they hear music?

Are you looking for something that will increase their quality of life and help them learn, grow and express themselves?

My name is Ryan Judd and I help improve the lives and abilities of individuals with special needs by creating a musical, fun and motivating atmosphere for them to thrive in.

The Rhythm Tree

I have a master's degree in psychology and music therapy from one of the top contemplative education schools in the country. I am a board-certified music therapist and have been specializing in helping people with special needs for more than 20 years. The results I've achieved from integrating music and therapy are powerful and my work has even been featured on ABC World News Tonight and other national news outlets.

My mission is to elevate individuals with special needs to new heights developmentally, emotionally and expressively.

Award-Winning Products for the Special Needs Community

My passion extends beyond the face-to-face work that I do and I have created a product line of DVDs, CDs and video courses to help those in the special needs community.

Music To Help Reduce Stress, Anxiety and Insomnia

I also compose and produce instrumental guitar music to help reduce anxiety, stress and insomnia. Many people find this music to be perfect for meditation, relaxation, sleep, yoga and massage. My unique background as a music therapist and an accomplished fingerstyle guitarist has given me the tools to help people through the power of music.
