Ruth Morrow is the current Bolin Distinguished Chair of Piano at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas, where she teaches all things piano plus world music. She holds degrees from Indiana University, Eastman School of Music, and Whitman College in piano performance, pedagogy, musicology, and philosophy, and teaches at the Indiana University Piano Academy each summer.
Dr. Morrow remains in demand as recitalist, collaborative pianist, and lecturer on topics from ragtime to movement to advocating for social justice and human rights issues through the piano. As avid a student as a teacher, Dr. Morrow consistently looks for avenues of personal and musical growth; to this end she is a Feldenkrais® Method Certified Instructor and pursues research in labyrinths and silence. She enjoys digging deeply into music’s nuances, running, and her polydactyl cats, and is currently working on a recording of solo piano music illuminating human rights issues.
