Ruth Molins read Music and English Literature at Cardiff University and studied flute with Susan Buckland. She has played in masterclasses with Anna Noakes, Jonathan Snowden and Michael Cox; in an orchestral flute workshop with Alison Mitchell; and recently has developed her flute playing further with Susie Hodder-Williams.

Ruth performed as a soloist with the Exeter Symphony Orchestra in 2012 (Rutter, Suite Antique) and again in 2015 (Mozart, Concerto in C for Flute and Harp).

Ruth teaches flute and piano privately and within three schools and for the last 4 years she has tutored on the ‘Blue Sky Chamber Music’ summer course. Every day, through her teaching, practice and performance, Ruth searches for the best ways to develop and share her love of music and of the flute.
