I am a private lesson music teacher. I have taught private lessons since 2008. I was also a middle school band director for 28+ years. I love working with students to help them become better musicians!
If you wish to see if Ruth has music lessons at a time that works for you, click the "See Availability" button.
Students (Parents for younger students) will need to register for a free MusicTeacherNotes account. If you are a current student of mine at Ruth Petersen Music Lessons and haven't registered your MusicTeacherNotes account, please click the orange button below. You will use the studio code (489U6) to connect your family account to my teacher account.
MusicTeacherNotes is free for students. They have an upgradable option available, called the Gold Plan, but upgrading is not required. I can manage our music lessons whether you use their free account or their Gold account.
MusicTeacherNotes helps music teachers manage their students and helps students learn music faster. By empowering parents and students to get much more out of private music lessons, learning music becomes a better experience for everyone.
