Experienced tutor in Violin in West Orange, Ruth offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Ruth Brons is one extraordinary teacher. She has deeply impacted the lives and well-being of both my daughters. My daughters have two very, very different personalities. For the past ten-plus years I have watched Ruth work with each girl with great success. She knows just what to do to bring out the best in her students — no matter their mood of the moment — sad, hyped, happy, frustrated, tired — even teen attitude. Ruth knows how to roll that into the lesson for maximum effect. Their lesson time with Ruth is a very engaged island of pleasurable learning. For Ruth it’s all about the joy of music, the community it brings with it and acquiring a life long skill that will continue to give the student that joy and community. Ruth brought each of my daughters to a very confident level of mastery of their instrument — and that means that today, they can sit down with a group of very competent musicians and gamely take on a challenging new piece. Neither one of my daughters wishes to major in music in college, though I know many of Ruth’s students have. Now, with one daughter off to college and another soon to follow, both — thanks to Ruth — make music a huge part of their lives — it’s where they find their friends and share good healthy time communing with them.
