About Ruby

With eight years of teaching experience and a Bachelor’s degree in music, I am dedicated to helping students discover and develop their guitar skills. My teaching style blends technical precision with creativity, creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel motivated to progress. I believe every guitarist has their own unique sound, and I tailor lessons to bring out each individual’s strengths. My background covers a wide range of guitar styles, from fingerstyle and acoustic to electric and contemporary genres. I emphasize the importance of solid fundamentals such as finger positioning and chord transitions while integrating music theory to deepen understanding. Encouraging improvisation and personal expression is a key part of my approach, helping students connect more deeply with their instrument. I also focus on building performance confidence by incorporating rhythm training and ensemble playing techniques. Preparing students for live performances or recordings is a rewarding part of my work, and I strive to make each lesson engaging and relevant to their musical goals. Regular feedback and personalized practice plans help maintain steady progress and enthusiasm. Teaching guitar is more than a profession for me—it’s a passion. I love seeing students grow in skill and confidence, whether they’re beginners or advanced players. Helping others find joy and fulfillment through music is the heart of what I do, and I’m committed to supporting every student’s musical journey.

About the lesson

Lessons start by establishing solid fundamentals, focusing on proper hand positioning and finger techniques to build accuracy and comfort. Students learn essential chord shapes and transitions, laying the groundwork for playing a wide range of songs. Music theory is integrated early on to help learners understand the structure behind what they play.

As students progress, lessons include fingerstyle and strumming patterns to develop versatility and musical expression. Emphasis is placed on rhythm and timing, ensuring that players can perform smoothly with other musicians or backing tracks. Students also explore improvisation techniques to foster creativity and personal style.

Each lesson is customized to the student’s goals, whether learning popular songs, preparing for performances, or deepening their theoretical knowledge. Practice assignments and regular feedback keep students motivated and on track. The teaching approach balances technical skill-building with fun and engaging material to maintain enthusiasm.

Lessons cater to beginners through advanced players, offering a comprehensive pathway for continuous growth. Whether the aim is casual playing or professional development, the curriculum is designed to nurture confidence, skill, and a lasting love for the guitar.
