I teach bassoon, piano and music theory, plus having studied singing as a second study at the Guildhall of Music and Drama, I teach both Classical and Musical Theatre singing.

I am also an examiner for ABRSM.

“My daughter started piano lessons with Ruth at the start of Year 2 and over the past three years Ruth has helped her to cultivate a real love of the instrument. Ruth’s style is warm and encouraging, but also very thorough. They have fun together playing pieces that L*** enjoys. Ruth has also supported L*** to start taking exams and to play at some school recitals, both of which L*** was able to accomplish with confidence as she was so well prepared.”

“ Ruth has excelled in conveying her infectious passion for music and for the bassoon to our daughter. She is always upbeat and cheerful, creating a supportive and engaging environment for our daughter to grow as a musician. She deeply cares about her students and manages to balance enjoyment for music with improvement of technical skills. She also communicates impeccably and proactively with parents, creating a true partnership. Ruth clearly has a genuine passion for both music and teaching- a true gem!'“

“ The highlight of our daughter’s week is her piano lessons with Ruth. Ruth has a way of making the lessons fun, engaging and age appropriate, which makes the learning stick. She is also really flexible and responsive and easy to deal with. We would highly recommend her!”
