“I never thought I would find a voice teacher of Ruth's caliber in my area. She could easily be earning at least twice as much as she charges elsewhere. She was able to communicate to me what I needed to know to allow me to bring out the best qualities of my voice. So much so that I surprised myself on many occasions.

“I have been a voice student of Ruth Ratliff's for several years now, and she always tries to find ways to help me understand what she's teaching. Voice is a tricky art, and technique explanations that work for some students may not work for others. She knows this and goes out of her way to help each student grasp the concepts she's teaching. She is constantly working to improve her own vocal education as well. Her patience, support and confidence in me helped me overcome personal shyness and fear to audition for a musical at a local theatre, and I performed for the first time last year. Thanks, Ruth! I couldn't have done it without you!"

"Jim taught piano to both of my sons, both have developed a love of music that will last a lifetime. His teaching uses his magical musical four P's: patience, practice, performance, and patience. Both boys play regularly, jam with bands & have fun!"

"Ruth has been coaching my 12 year old son for several months now, constantly holding his interest and inspiring improvement. I highly recommend her as a talented and effective voice teacher."

“If you are serious about developing your voice than you need to be studying with Ruth. I finally understood how to place my voice after studying with her for only a few months. Something I wasn't able to do with other teachers in four years. She's patient, caring and will work with you to get you to understand that techniques involved with good, clear voice production. I highly recommend her to anyone. She's worth every penny and so much more. You'll have no regrets.”

“Jim was an excellent piano teacher; however, I ran out of time and chose to focus on voice lessons from Ruth.  Jim was always very patient and observant.  He encouraged me to play music I enjoyed.  I had taken lessons from other people, and he was the first to teach me scales and actually explain the chords and different keys, rather than just have me go through the book and learn a piece.  I made alot of progress as his student.  I would HIGHLY recommend Jim as an instructor for adults or children!”

“Jim & Ruth are Awesome!! They provide quality entertainment for our clients are have been with us for years!! Great people who have a passion for what they do.” Rich, Infinity Entertainment

“We happened upon Jemini Studio by accident and decided to take a chance with voice lessons for our 14 year old. Ruth is great, so encouraging and knowledgable. Our daughter's true singing voice has emerged. This is one accident we do not regret.”

“It was definitely a leap of faith to begin singing at a later age but I'm glad I tried. It's been fun. Ruth has gotten me to relax, trust my voice and open up.”

“Ruth is so very down-to-earth. She makes it seem that anyone can sing beautifully. They are both very giving people and love what they do. I drive an hour and half to go the lessons! They are DEFINITELY my favorite local business!”

“Jim & Ruth are a love story and their music and lives together reflect that! They are not only blessed w/ talent but always eager to lend a helping hand and support their community! I admire them greatly.”

“Ruth and Jim truly love what they do and love bringing out the best in their students. The joy and dedication they have for their work is reflected in everything they do.”

“Ruth and Jim are wonderful people!! They spread sunshine throughout their community. A breath of fresh air when you need it most. Keep making beautiful music!!!”
