About Ruby
I am a piano tutor with 6 years of experience teaching historical piano styles. I hold a BM in Sacred Music, specializing in piano and organ. My academic training gives me a deep understanding of technique, theory, and historical context. I also perform ragtime, stride, and early jazz piano. I teach both school-aged students and adult learners. Lessons focus on technique, musicality, and historical awareness. Improvisation is central to studying ragtime and jazz. Students develop phrasing, articulation, and rhythmic precision. Beginners gain confidence exploring repertoire. Advanced learners refine stylistic interpretation and improvisation. Lessons balance structured exercises with creative exploration. I encourage curiosity about music history. Musical expression is always emphasized. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s goals. Lessons are structured, engaging, and inspiring. Students explore both written and improvised music. Technical skill supports expressive playing. Historical piano styles become accessible and fun. Lessons nurture skill, independence, and confidence. Creativity and technique develop together. Students gain a strong foundation and expressive voice. Piano playing becomes both rewarding and exciting. Each lesson supports long-term musical growth.
