Fred
Singing Lessons
She’s a great teacher. She’ll teach you everything about singing, how to build up your voice with many different types of exercises. I’ve just started but I’ve learned a lot so far. More...

Singing Lessons
She covers everything and is willing to engage with students with questions and answers. She cares. This is new to me and she moves quickly. I’m so glad to be able to review the the video again to practice. More...
What do you love most about your job?
I love it when students are able to achieve their singing (and songwriting) goals and the joy it brings them to share that with others. I enjoy the incredibly supportive and fun community I've been able to develop in my classes and open-mics. It's very motivating for everyone. I equally enjoy the chance to work 1:1 with students.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started my career as an independent singer/songwriter. I sold over 100,000 records myself at over 150 shows a year. I learned early on that though running your own business may come with a lot of extra responsibility, it also offers reliability. You are never really your own boss. Ultimately the client (student) is your boss. At the same time, its' your show - you create the work environment that you are most joyful in.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a deep knowledge that I am extremely good at communicating. I have been teaching for over 25 years. I have taught every age and every level, from 5-85, from beginner to award winning professionals. I am a very experienced and I am also, I would say, a very caring and thoughtful person. I will keep you motivated and make sure you are having fun, while putting the time in to reach your goals. I have strategies for practice and follow through. Please see my website for client list. www.ruthgerson.com
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I have been teaching online for twelve years (since I moved from NYC to CA). We can work on Zoom, FaceTime or GoogleMeet.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We can work on online. For in-person students, I am vaccinated and boosted and will share my vaccination card. I have hospital grade filters in the studio and I keep us 12 feet apart. I am also comfortable wearing a mask during lessons, if you prefer (you can wear a mask, if you want to, but I do not require it.)

"Ruth is the best vocal coach I have ever worked with. She has helped me improve my singing, and learn to take care of my voice. The Singingbelt helped me understand quickly how to use my diaphragm and support my voice. Ruth's coaching was essential preparing for American Idol and college auditions - I love working with her!"
- Remi Wolf
"Ruth is an exceptional singer with a powerful and expressive voice. She is insightful and intelligent and has a great gift for sharing her knowledge of the voice, and songwriting with her students. The Singingbelt is ingenious. I have seen Ruth work with a singer for an hour and get the results we needed in the studio immediately."
-Rick Chertoff (five-time Grammy-nominated producer:Cyndi Lauper, Joan Osborne, Sophie B. Hawkins)
