As a beginner - adult student (age39) Linda Pearl Allen is the best. She is such a pleasure to work with! She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely patient. She starts by creating lessons based on your induvial weakness/interest, and then advance from there. Working full time I love that her schedule is very flexible also. Over the years I've tried to teach myself thru self taught books and videos, and would often get distracted and overwhelmed. Having that person to person interaction with Linda helps me stay focus and makes learning the piano simple and fun. I've always had a passion to learn the piano/keyboards and it's nice to see it actually evolving Thanks to Linda!

I love learning from Pam because she is extremely knowledgeable and patient. She has over 40 years of experience of playing the piano. She is able to break things down to help me grasp the technique I need to play the piano. She is very encouraging and yet challenges me to push myself to move forward in my current playing level. I also love how she gives me today bits of history on the music we are practicing at the time. I have met many music teachers and she is by far one of the best.
