Portrait of Ruth Ellery smiling in a teaching room

Music On the timetable at Meridian

Ruth Ellery

Former orchestral pianist; has prepared 300+ students for graded exams. Her groups are small, steady and — students insist — funny.

Ruth played piano professionally for fifteen years, including a decade with a regional orchestra, before swapping the concert hall for the teaching room. She has prepared more than 300 students for graded piano exams.

Her groups are capped at twelve and run on a steady rhythm: scales, sight-reading, then the piece itself. Students describe her lessons as calm and funny in equal measure — the exam results suggest both help.

On the record

Her Grade 3 groups have held a 100% pass rate, with most students at merit or above, for four years.
