Klein Cook Studio
Violin and Viola Lessons

Classically trained, American violinist Ruth Klein Cook comfortably embraces styles from classical, to jazz to pop to folk.  Seamlessly moving between musical genres and ensembles, you can find Ruth playing solo, chamber music, or a symphony orchestra.

Ruth graduated from West Chester University of Pennsylvania (BS in Music Education), and the University of Oklahoma (MM Performance), and is a past president of Australian Strings Association (WA Chapter).  She received a Chamber Music America Rural Residency Grant with the Whitestone Violin/Viola Duo, founded the Red River String Quartet, Damnation Cellar and sFourzando Chamber Players, and currently performs regularly with the Perth Symphony and Fremantle Chamber Orchestras, and Australian Baroque.

Committed to mentoring young players so they may find their own, unique voice, Ruth tutors privately and at the Hale School, coaches chamber music with the WA Chamber Music Program (WAYACHAMP), and is a sought after festival adjudicator.  She strongly believes that the young people today need to have opportunities in all genres of music.
