Ruth has taught violin for over 30 years. She has taught over 2000 private students as well as a violin class at an elementary school for four years.

Throughout my years of teaching, my students have won top positions in school and all state orchestras, won scholarships, numerous awards and gone on to professional careers.

My goal is to help each student enjoy music lessons, progress in their instrument and achieve their individual goals. I provide the beginning music to include traditional, suzuki, etudes and warm up exercises.

For the younger students, I provide Music Mind Games in all the lessons for added fun and enjoyment.

When it comes to violin I use both book and audio. I want to help my students learn to not only read the music but to also hear and feel it. I have been teaching this way for the last few years and found that my students have a deeper understanding of the music by learning the see with their ears. Each student is tasked with coming up with goals that they want to reach, goals their parents would like for them to reach and from there a personalized path for learning is created and followed.

I love teaching foremost because of the connection between student and teacher; I have been really blessed to have some wonderful mentors throughout my life, and I value being able to mentor others. I am here as a teacher to see you for your unique set of strengths, interests, and goals.
