Linda is fabulous with kids and capturing their imagination to enjoy piano and music. Linda's natural creativity and personality is infectious for a curious kid and helps keep them engaged as they put in the hard work necessary to progress in piano. She is technically excellent without making the kids notice it. Couldn't be more positive about the experience especially if you want your child to develop a long term love of the creative arts.

Linda is an excellent piano teacher. Our 6 year old has been taking lessons with her for about 6 months, and has developed a love of piano and real skill at playing in that short time. Linda is patient and encouraging, using her many years as an elementary school teacher to know how to tap into a child’s learning style and talents. We are excited to continue to work with Linda and for our daughter to become a skilled musician under her guidance.

I chose Linda to be my teacher after a few emails back and forth realizing quickly that she was knowledgeable, experienced, and has a passion for music and teaching. I was both excited and nervous to take lessons after a 30 year break. She has been wonderful kind, patient and also fun teacher. She listens to what I’m interested in learning and puts together pieces that are interesting and also each one is directed at teaching me different techniques. After a few months now it is starting to come together. I’m very grateful that she took me on as a student not knowing if I could even read music - to our surprise I could still read notes and that gave a chance to start playing right away. If you fortunate to be within her beautiful teaching environment you will find an amazing teacher and the possibility to bring beautiful music into your world.

Ms. Linda is an excellent teacher and works very well with our 7-year-old daughter for her weekly piano lessons. The teaching style is patient, fun, and very informative. Our daughter looks forward to her lessons and really enjoys her time each week.

Not only her long experience as a music teacher but also her deep love and knowledge on music has given a lot of positive influence on my daughter who has been taking her lessons for nearly 2 years. She is very good at teaching piano with nice sense of humor which is why my daughter is always looking forward to taking her lessons. I believe all of the above enabled my daughter to improve her piano techniques and expression.

My four-year-old daughter and I have been taking lessons with Linda for about six months now. Linda is a true professional who knows how to work with children, how to engage their interest and how to adapt lessons to each person's personality and learning style. I am very impressed with my own progress that I have made during this time! Piano lessons are the highlight of our week for both my daughter and me. Linda is patient, professional, funny, and I am proud and happy to have her as our piano teacher. ♥

My five-year old son has been taking lessons with Ms. Linda for half a year, and she is an amazing teacher and an incredible person - warm, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. Having just turned 5, I wasn't sure if my son would be ready for piano, but Ms. Linda's approach is fun and encourages learning - he excited about music and looks forward to his lesson each week! Her experience as a school teacher brings out the best in the student, and I greatly appreciate her helping to instill a love for music and to support learning in general for my son. She goes beyond all expectations of a piano teacher!

Last summer my nine year old great niece came for a visit after being assured that she could continue her piano lessons while here. She worked with Ms Linda for several months and her progress really showed. They hit it off immediately, and young Jodie couldn't wait to get to her lesson every week. When she returned home, her teacher was surprised and delighted at the progress she had made.
I was particularly impressed with Ms Linda's willingness and ability to explain things in a way that a young person could understand without talking down to them in any way. Her warmth and humor helped smooth the way through any nervousness or fear that seeing "too many notes" can sometimes bring on in a youngster. A pleasant and successful experience for all involved.

Ms. Sturdy was an excellent instructor for our daughter for many years. Her background is as a schoolteacher and it really shows. She encouraged and brought out the best in my daughter and quickly got her to read music and play complicated pieces beautifully! We would still be with her today if we didn't have to move across the state. I highly recommend Ms. Sturdy as a piano teacher who gets results quickly and is a nurturing and inspiring instructor.

I absolutely loved working with Ms. Sturdy! I took lessons from her for a little over 4 years, and I would never have stopped taking lessons with her if I hadn’t moved an hour away :( . When I first started to pursue piano, I took lessons with a few other teachers, but I could never understand the lessons they tried to teach me or learn how to read notes. They had me using sheet music with all the notes labeled and all of the keys on the piano labeled, so I could play little pieces but I didn’t actually know how to play piano the right way. I had gotten to a point of frustration that made me want to give up on piano almost, but eventually I had started learning from Ms. Sturdy and everything turned around. She taught me in a way that I could clearly understand, and within a year I was performing duet pieces at least 2 pages long with her for my family and some of the first grade classes at the school I was attending! I have come so far since I begun playing thanks to Ms. Sturdy. Not only was Ms. Sturdy an amazing piano teacher as well as amazing pianist, she was also a great friend. I would look forward to my lessons every week because the conversations we would have brought me much joy, we could talk forever and never run out of things to talk about. If your thinking about starting to play piano I 100% recommend reaching out to Ms. Sturdy, she’s the best teacher out there!

Linda was so kind to my 1st grader. She was patient and instructive at the same time. Her teaching background was obvious as she could relate very well with Jeremy. Highly recommend.
