Artistic Director

Ranaan Meyer

Artistic Director of Honeywell Arts Academy, Ranaan Meyer, is a GRAMMY-winning, Emmy-winning, and Gold record double bassist and a founding member and performer with the string trio Time for Three.

​

During Meyer's final lesson with mentor Hal Robinson (also an Academy faculty mentor), he asked what he could do to pay back the incredible wisdom he had gained over the years. Robinson responded 'simply pay it forward.' 

​

This was a thought that Meyer carried with him as Eric Larson, Meyer, and Robinson came together to dream up an ideal double bass program. In 2008 this collective vision became a reality with the following principles​

​

  • Top-level musicians and individuals

  • Full scholarship for everyone who attends

  • A philosophy called  “sharing of knowledge” 

​

Meyer says, "The 'sharing of knowledge' philosophy creates a foundation that empowers everyone to learn from one another. Through research, we identified this is not always the educational foundation everyone has experienced."  This shared philosophy supports the vision of Honeywell Arts Academy to enrich the opportunity for artistic ambassadors to advance human connection.
