14 Year old, Shriya, @shr.iy.a, also produced and wrote her latest song, "Strangers on Saturn." It just got a beautiful write up on Discovernu.com. They rave, "Shriya delivers a crystal clear, pitch perfect and breathtaking vocal performance!" I know everyone in our singer/songwriter class feels the same, Shriya! Congratulations!! https://www.discovernu.co/shriya-strangers-on-saturn/​

Shaun Williams, @shaunwilliamsofficial, a truly accomplished musician came into our songwriting group, not having yet written a song with lyrics. He uncovered an incredible gift. Shaun has been insanely prolific and has already released some jaw dropping work. Check out "Countdown" if you want to hear what I mean. Or better yet, come to LGCR on Friday and see him play. He will be opening up the show!

Classes continue to grow, so I've been able to add more class times to accomodate schedules. There's about 60 of us now across the country participating in "Vocal Technique and Performance," "Singing, Songwriting & Performance," and "Young Singers." It's a tight hybrid online and in-person community. Along with classes, we do shows, open-mics and more.

Student showcases coming in NYC Sept 28, and in the Bay Area Oct. 30 and Nov. 4.

If you would like to join the vocal technique group, it's easy to get started. You can subscribe here through PayPal. You will receive a welcome letter and can join in within 24hrs. View class schedule here. ​

If you are interested in the Singer/Songwriter class, it is by submission, so please email me or call me at 650-434-2876. If you are interested in the Young Singers class, you can also email/call/text.

“Ruth has given me my mojo back. I have been a blocked songwriter for decades, Then I met Ruth and enrolled in her songwriting class, and through it, I feel like I’m meeting a part of myself that I had long forgotten and stuffed in a corner — and it feels SO GOOD!“ -Joanne Weaver (student)
