About Ruby
With eight years of teaching experience and a Bachelor’s degree in music, I am dedicated to helping students discover and develop their guitar skills. My teaching style blends technical precision with creativity, creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel motivated to progress. I believe every guitarist has their own unique sound, and I tailor lessons to bring out each individual’s strengths. My background covers a wide range of guitar styles, from fingerstyle and acoustic to electric and contemporary genres. I emphasize the importance of solid fundamentals such as finger positioning and chord transitions while integrating music theory to deepen understanding. Encouraging improvisation and personal expression is a key part of my approach, helping students connect more deeply with their instrument. I also focus on building performance confidence by incorporating rhythm training and ensemble playing techniques. Preparing students for live performances or recordings is a rewarding part of my work, and I strive to make each lesson engaging and relevant to their musical goals. Regular feedback and personalized practice plans help maintain steady progress and enthusiasm. Teaching guitar is more than a profession for me—it’s a passion. I love seeing students grow in skill and confidence, whether they’re beginners or advanced players. Helping others find joy and fulfillment through music is the heart of what I do, and I’m committed to supporting every student’s musical journey.
