[Ruth van Baak Griffioen: Excerpts from W&M evaluations ]

Mus W15/25/35/45 (Recorder Lessons)

"This is by far my favorite course at the college. I learned so much from Professor Griffioen. I wish I had realized it was offered my 2 years here. But I plan on taking Recorder for my last 3 semesters."

"Patience is a great quality she has."

"Another wonderful semester studying with Ruth. Not only is she an excellent recorder teacher, but each lesson involves a history lesson to go with the music we are playing! One of my favorite courses at the College."

"Course is great. Prof. Griffioen has a good, well-organized idea of what the progression through the recorder repertoire should be. Plenty of on-hand music to choose from for juries, etc."
