Online Lessons

Learning an instrument can be a great way to keep our brains active, release endorphins, reward ourselves and relieve stress and loneliness. We are lucky to live in an age where now this can be done from the comfort of your own living room, anywhere in the world!

Ruth is offering one FREE video call lesson to anyone who would like to give this a go and begin online lessons. You can find out more about which instruments and types of lessons Ruth teaches here.

How it works

  1. Firstly, send Ruth an email or give her a call to register your interest and we can discuss what you are looking for and agree on a suitable time for your first lesson.

  2. Download your preferred App for lessons (Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, Whatsapp). Ruth can send you fully detailed steps on how to do this - I promise it is very easy and takes no longer than 5 minutes!

  3. Find a suitable spot to place your device so that you and your instrument can be seen (on a music stand in front of you or at the end of a Keyboard for pianists works well). Make sure your device is plugged in or fully charged. At the agreed lesson time, Ruth will video call you. You are now ready to begin learning with her!

Lesson Content

Your lesson content will be tailored exactly to what you personally would like to gain from learning an instrument. Whether it’s starting an instrument from scratch, detailed advice on existing technique, an introduction to note reading, learning a couple of nice tunes or revisiting an instrument after some time away, Ruth will take time to talk to you about the best use of our lesson time in order to deliver the most practical and fulfilling sessions that she can for you or your child.

Follow Up

After every lesson Ruth will send you a free personally tailored follow up email containing notes on our lesson and a link to your own online folder containing demonstration videos or materials that will be useful for your weekly practise.

Cost

Your first 30 minute lesson with Ruth will be completely FREE! There is no subscription or obligation to carry on, but should you wish to continue with lessons, they will be priced at £18 per 30 minute lesson from then on. After the lesson, you can pay by bank transfer or via PayPal, whichever suits you best.
