Baton Rouge Conservatory

Music Lessons for
Adults and Children

Online and In Person

When I was growing up I didn’t have continuous private lessons.

And I sure didn’t know the best way to practice!

Had my folks and I realized the importance of basic set-up and good practice techniques, my musical path would have been a lot smoother.

I wouldn’t have cheated myself by focusing on speed instead of accuracy and working inefficiently toward ever-changing goals.

Eventually I learned to channel my energy, budget my time, and increase my skill level. I learned that accuracy leads to speed and relaxation fosters expression.

Would you like a sneak peek into this process?

My teacher's patience and skill in communicating her knowledge to others is unparalleled by any other music teacher I have ever had. She is talented not only in playing but also in teaching her craft, which is not always the case with a musician of her high caliber. I will take lessons with her forever.

At Baton Rouge Conservatory you will learn to play or sing with ease and expression. 

You will master your chosen instrument while connecting with your teacher and the community.

Without a doubt, reaching out to the Baton Rouge Conservatory was one of the best decisions for Ella's learning journey. After an initial assessment, our teacher communicated a clear lesson plan that identified weekly goals for both me and my daughter. Most importantly, her patience, flexibility and use of both individual and group lessons have significantly increased my daughter’s confidence in her ability to learn and progress.

Experiences

Choose the best fit.

Sure, you could wait until your child is older. You could try to teach yourself. Or you could choose to believe you don’t have what it takes.

But you’d be wasting time, feeling inadequate, and maybe even hurting yourself if you practice something the wrong way.

Instead…

Start your journey on the path to mastery. 

Ruth was incredibly patient and started from the basics in order to help me with vibrato. Rather than shrugging it off as a problem that I had to handle alone, she worked with me every lesson to develop a beautiful vibrato that was easy for me to use and sustain.

She is a dedicated teacher who is there for her students both as people and as musicians. It was always a pleasure going to lessons with her and working on new and fun pieces. She is a kind and compassionate instructor who strives to guide her students to reach their potential.

Ruth is extremely caring and always made me feel welcome at lessons; I always enjoyed working with her. Even if I had not practiced as much as I should have or was not putting in my best effort, she still guided me with kindness and assisted me with anything I needed.

I could not thank Ruth enough for what she did for me and for all of her guidance and patience when teaching me. Her teaching method was so helpful in not only solving my problem but also in allowing me to enjoy playing the violin more.
