I love sharing the gift of music with my students. It's my goal to make each lesson enjoyable and to motivate my students. Since I was a first grade teacher, I understand the importance of helping my students have a solid foundation to build on. There is never a "one size fits all" approach to my teaching. I have found that around 45 minutes is an ideal length for most lessons, and I try to work with each student as long as he/she is focused and absorbing the new material presented.

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!
I love to find out why my students want to learn Piano? What drives them to succeed? What types of music they prefer. I try to cater my lessons to fit my student's desires.
