Ruth's piano lessons are the best. She is very patient with my daughter and my daughter is always excited about class. I have seen nothing but positive results.

As an adult beginner piano student, I had no musical experience before I signed up for lessons with Ruth. I liked working with Ruth for many reasons, some of them being her patience and kindness, her thoroughness in making sure I played a song correctly before we moved on to the next one, including learning technique, and she always made sure we spent the full 45 minutes together if we had to start late. I moved out of state otherwise I would have continued lessons with Ruth; I will miss her very much!

My daughter is incredibly shy and finally got the confidence to take lessons with Ruth this past year. She had been teaching herself on a keyboard for about 2 years but was too nervous to take lessons and have the "pressure" of someone watching her play. We just completed 1 year of lessons with Ruth and I am amazed at the growth in my daughter's skills but also her confidence in herself. She played her first recital (via zoom because COVID-19) in December and the fact that she performed on screen for family and strangers was an accomplishment itself. But her piano skills blew me away. To see that Ruth could teach her SO much with just one lesson a week in 12 months is incredible. I'm incredibly proud of my daughter and very thankful we found Ruth. And to top it off, Ruth is very affordable :)

Thanks Ruth for being such a wonderful piano teacher! My son takes lessons every week and never wants to skip the learning time with her. As the parents, the happiest thing is watching the kid moving forward because he has made a lot of progress since he started taking lessons with Ruth one year ago. Ruth is very nice, patient, detailed, and has very good methods combined with various materials and recitals for kids. After each lesson, kid always brings home a notebook with very detailed and helpful notes about his learning and practicing. My son not just improved his playing skill, but also learned a lot about reading, theories, performance skills... He never felt the least bit frustrated because Ruth always made learning the piano feel so natural and fun! Just as she mentioned HAPPY PIANO! We really appreciate Ruth’s hard work!

Ruth is exactly what we were looking for in a piano instructor for our son. She really listened to what is important to us, makes it fun for him to learn, and he is having a blast learning! She is such a nice person, too! Very happy with our decision to hire Ruth!
