Overview

I'm a conservatory trained musician with degrees in both piano and voice. I am highly experienced performer with over 1,400 gigs to my credit. I will add that touch of elegance and taste to your occasion! I love to perform a variety of musical styles, including Jazz Standards, Classic Showtunes, Pop/Country from the Decades, Light Classical and Christian. I can play on your piano or bring my own piano & gear. I really enjoy both playing and singing together and it adds nice variety of sound and increases song choice for you.
Kindly consider me for your party, business event, wedding or funeral needs. I'm honored to provide the joy of live music for you! Ruthy. (phone number hidden)

There Aren't Enough Stars!

Ruthy played our annual Christmas Day party for family and friends and made it incredibly special and fun.

By the second song, she knew people's first names. By the third song, she had people on their feet and singing along with her. By the end, she was conducting a 12 Days of Christmas Choir that included a group of 16 to 76 year olds. She was an absolute joy to have at our event and we felt like she had been coming for years.

She was extremely professional and was so easy to work before, during and after the event. She communicated with us regularly and in a timely way in the weeks leading up to Christmas. She gave us a chance to look through her very wide repertoire, request favorite songs, and also gave us some really good suggestions on genres and styles that went over really well.

We're so grateful that she joined us and look forward to working with her again (not just at Christmas!)

Thanks, Ruthy!

Xmas Singalong a great success

This was the first time I organized a xmas singalong and didn’t know what to expect. Ruthy was absolutely great - the initial communication was easy and to the point, providing feedback based on her experience, and a list of songs she suggested doing. I recommended
a few and she added them. She came early to my place, brought her keyboard and speaker, and set up quickly. She is a great entertainer who was leading our group through singing various Christmas songs. We were very engaged and everyone came specifically to listen to music and sing, so for some songs she split us in groups or assigned roles. She knows how to make a great atmosphere, knows how to follow singers and adjust the key, is a great singer and pianist, overall a great entertainer. The ending comment from my friends was that we should immediately book her for next year. All in all, I highly recommend Ruthy.

About

I have a degree in Piano Pedagogy with a minor in Jazz Piano and also a Voice Performance degree from Shenandoah Conservatory of Music. I joined a dance band, "Spectrum" while in college and I am with them still with them today. I've logged over 1,200 performances with them and that gave me a solid foundation in variety music. I love playing and singing jazz standards and I can do a variety of other modern styles. In fact, I really like playing piano and singing together. It lets me do more song styles and add in many more song choices. Plus it gives the listener more variety.
My background in music is very solid. I've performed extensively, directed, taught and composed music.

Additional booking notes

My requirements are minimal. I am self-contained if needed and do not take up alot of room.
