Triona Ryan
VOCAL COACH
Triona grew up in rural West Kerry, in a small village called Ballyferriter, just 8 miles west of Dingle. Growing up there meant being immersed in music from a young age. She began to play the fiddle at 7 years of age and was playing at music sessions with well-established musicians from the age of 14.
She has enjoyed working with a wide range of students from total beginner to established artists and really enjoys watching the progression of each one of her students. Triona is delighted to be part of the team here at SUSO and is looking forward to working with you.
Triona also discovered her passion for singing and all things vocal at a young age, and that passion grew and developed as the years went by. She had her voice trained by Eimear Crehan and found her interest in how the voice worked grew even further. In 2015 she joined SUSO Gospel choir and has been an active member since, singing lead at many concerts and sharing the stage with artists such as Mary Coughlan and The Riptide Movement. Through the Gospel Choir her love for harmonies was grown and nourished and in 2016 she co-founded Vocal Harmony Group Firefly, with whom she performed at many gigs, festivals and charity events. It was around this time that Triona decided to pursue a career in Vocal Coaching, and was delighted to be offered a place with Modern Vocal Training College in May 2020. Triona successfully graduated from MVT in January 2021 and aspires to continue her training with them to further her knowledge and expertise in the future.
