We loved Ms Ruby since day one! She’s an amazing teacher. She is very patient and enthusiastic and her passion for teaching music inspires her younger students. She made my daughter fall in love with music!
My daughter started with Ms. Ruby in JMC1 will be completing JMC4 this year. When she started, my daughter was so shy. She refused to go up to the front of the room with the rest of the students to sing. Ms. Ruby was patient and created such a safe atmosphere in the class that before the end of the year, my daughter was performing both in front of the class as well as in the year-end concert. In addition to being warm and friendly, Ms. Ruby is very professional, talented, and skilled as she will provide additional enrichment activities for the students that make learning music all the more fun. Thank you Ms. Ruby for providing my daughter with such an excellent foundation and experience. It has been a wonderful four years. Please know that you’re appreciated!
