About Me
Ruth has been a Piano Teacher for more than 20 year. She is also a Certified and Licensed Musikgarten Instructor. She has always had a love of music, primarily focused on the piano. She began piano study at the age of 7 and started teaching private piano lessons in 1987 after obtaining her Licentiate Diploma from Trinity College of London. She started as a teaching assistant for a few years and then started teaching in her own studio. She enjoys teaching piano lessons for students of all ages (both children and adult).
She was very active in the Piano Teacher’s Community and was appointed a Clinician for Rhythm MP to conduct the Young Pianist Music Camps in Malaysia. She’s also a church’s pianist and plays an important role in encouraging young budding musicians to achieve their goals.
Ruth found out about Musikgarten, an early childhood music program from the USA in 2001 and since then has attended workshops and trainings of Musikgarten in order to further her understandings of the Musikgarten programs. She was appointed Music Circle (a Music and Movement Program for Preschools) Teacher Trainer from 2003 through 2006. She has taught all levels of Musikgarten Programs and enjoys teaching students of all ages.
She aims to develop a strong musical foundation in all her students (both piano students and Musikgarten students) in a fun and loving environment.

Ruth has been my children's piano teacher for the 3 years when we were in LA. My 15 year old daughter, connected with her immediately. responding to her warmth and her enthusiastic, supportive approach. Ruth would expose her to various music that she really likes. As for my 8 year old daughter, she likes Ruth as her piano teacher as Ruth is very patient and would use different ways to teach her the musical concepts. My children had progress greatly in their piano lessons under Ruth's guidance. Not only that, they gained self-confidence. Ruth's passion for music and teaching is evident. I highly recommend her as a piano teacher.
