She has over 10 years experience of teaching flute and piano, and has also previously taught at St. Michaels Primary, Newtown Primary and Walter Daw Primary.

Some quotes from students, parents and fellow professionals:
'My piano teacher is nice, and good. She teaches me well and made me good at the piano. She has made me like playing the piano.' Bemi, aged 9
'She is a really brilliant music teacher and she explains it well. I am glad to have her as my piano teacher!' Daisy, aged 8
'I just wanted to let you know that my daughter, who has just started to learn the piano with you at Broadclyst Primary School, is thoroughly enjoying her lessons (though I know its early days!).' A parent
'Your relationship with the pupils is clearly very warm and nurturing, and demonstrated a gentle put very clear and precise use of instruction and guidance of tasks and techniques. Good occasional use of humour to engage but also to defuse anxiety.' External lesson evaluation feedback
'Ruth has been my piano teacher for two years. In this time she has helped me reconnect with my love of playing the piano, which I had not regularly played for fifteen years. Ruth is a very patient, creative, thoughtful, organized and encouraging teacher. With her help, I passed my grade 5 theory exam and my grade 6 practical exam with merit. Ruth researched composers which related to my own interests as well as broadening my knowledge and tastes. She carefully plans lessons to make the most of our time. Ruth is also a real joy to work with and I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful teacher.' Elizabeth
