Shay Ryan (she/her) brings more than 35 years of joyful professional singing experience to Kiddos and Kin. Her performance career has taken her from cruise ship stages to Off-Broadway, and she was signed to a major recording label early in her career. An Early Childhood Music Specialist, Shay is a certified member of the Early Childhood Music and Movement Association (ECMMA) and is licensed to teach all levels of the Kindermusik® curriculum. She is also the co-writer and emcee of Mini Maestros, the interactive symphonic concert series created in partnership with the Symphony Tacoma Orchestra. Shay is the founder and director of Kiddos and Kin, a Kindermusik Top Program studio that has received the Kindermusik International Top Program Maestro Award for ten consecutive years, placing it among the top 5% of studios worldwide—and within the top 1% globally for the past four years. Earlier in her career, Shay worked as an Autism Spectrum Disorder specialist and behavioral therapist through Rutgers University. While that work was grounded in the prevailing science of the time, she increasingly felt drawn toward approaches that centered connection, relationship, and whole-child development. That path ultimately led her back to music. Today, Shay is passionate about creating inclusive musical spaces where children of all abilities can explore, communicate, and grow through joyful music-making. Inspired by the transformative experience of music with her first child, she founded Kiddos and Kin to share the power of music and connection with families throughout the Tacoma community.
