Information About Ruby - Acton teacher

Personal Description:

Hi my name is Ruby. I am a professional trumpet player currently undertaking my Masters at The Royal College of Music. I have been playing the trumpet since primary school when I first picked it up in a class workshop. Playing the trumpet has enabled me to participate in numerous ensembles and performance opportunities worldwide. I have worked alongside many professors during my musical career including renowned musicians Matthias Höfs and Gustav Melander. I will be continuing my passion for music with a Master of Music postgraduate commencing later this year.

Tutoring Experience:

For the past four years I have been teaching around London helping my students achieve their aspirations and goals. I believe in passing on my own enthusiasm and passion to others through music and am a firm advocate of music being fun. I am interested in a variety of music from orchestral to contemporary and aim to find unique repertoire, when possible and ideas to optimise lesson productivity. I teach both individual and group lessons; my diligence coupled with my dedication for music promises engaging and fun lessons.

Tutoring Approach:

Teaching different students means different methodologies. I aim to assess and get to know the student/students I am working with initially to see in which way their learning is best suited to the information I am divulging. As a backup I always take my own trumpets to a lesson for the purposes of demonstration. For beginners the focus is primarily on fun and basic technique; letting the student enjoy what they are doing is integral to me as a teacher. Only at a later stage will I begin to introduce finer technique and musicality.
