Angela is an amazing piano teacher. Iโ€™ve had lessons with her for 2 years. As an adult learner, Angela demonstrates patience and pride in her work as a teacher. She is proud of her studentโ€™s accomplishments and provides feedback in each lesson. By my first lesson, Angela provided me with simple concepts of music and I was playing a tune. Now after two years of lessons, Angela still makes understanding music essentials and concepts important while helping you choose music pieces that will be challenging and putting to practice what sheโ€™s teaching. Angelaโ€™s years of piano experience, patience, and teaching style are some of the reasons I like working with her.

I had both of my children take weekly lessons from Angela for about nine years. Angela broke down piano lessons into logical segments that did not overwhelm my kids, yet had them improve from week to week. She had high expectations for their progress and had a firm understanding of their capabilities. She was able to capitalize on their natural talents, while identifying the areas where they would get stuck. She taught them the technical aspects of music, while recognizing that kids need extra encouragement to develop self-discipline and technique. Beyond the lessons, she understood my kids as people. I always told my friends and relatives that whenever I had an issue with either of my kids, my first phone call was to Angela to get her advice. In all honesty, Angela has spent dozens, if not hundreds, of hours on the phone with me over the past ten years helping me through whatever issue one of my kids was dealing with in their personal life. She was able to pick up the subtle nuances of their personalities during lessons and help me to apply it to their everyday lives. Angela has been a huge part of my kids upbringing both during and outside lessons, and I cannot recommend her enough!

My boys took lessons from Angela for about 11 years and we think shes a great teacher. My oldest become very proficient at playing. In addition to the massive recital she manages to pull together each year, she provides other opportunities and venues for her students to perform. She can work miracles!

I wish there were more than five stars with which I could rate Ms. Linhardt. She deserves all the stars in the sky! Having her as a teacher has enriched my life musically and spiritually. Although I started out on the violin when I was young, after listening to my brother and sisterโ€™s lessons with Ms. Linhardt, I quickly became interested in the piano as well and started my own lessons with her at the age of 12, through the age of 18. She was an expert at overcoming my weaknesses and nurturing my strengths. She also encouraged my personal musical creativity and appreciated all of my talents; never tried to put me in a box. With her guidance, I quickly developed into a skilled pianist and a better overall musician, which is why I reached out to her again as an adult. What an amazing person, mentor and teacher! I highly recommend Ms. Linhardt to all ages and skill levels of those interested in taking lessons. It is very hard to describe the positive influence she has had on my musical life. These were the best 45 minutes of my week as a child, and now again as an adult. She is truly the best!

Angela Linhardt is a professional pianist who also teaches private piano lessons. She is able to tailor lessons to each of her studentโ€™s capabilities, goals, and personalities. Our son started at age 8 years old and after 6 weeks of lessons was able to perform a duet with Ms. Linhardt at the Annapolis Mall Christmas Recital. Ms. Linhardt was able to keep our son interested in continuing piano lessons until he graduated high school, even though he had commitments with sports teams. Our son learned to read music and play the piano for personal enjoyment, he learned and gained confidence in presenting himself as a young man to an audience, he learned to dress appropriately for concerts, and how to interact with students and adults involved in a musical and artistic community. His positive experience with Ms. Linhardt in learning music and her influence on him as he develop into a young adult is one we as parents greatly appreciated.

Students responsibility  to attend lessons

Reschedule if given sufficient notice and only if student has a good reason for cancellation and does not make a habit of missing classes.

Am a year round Instructor. My present roster attends lessons on a yearly basis. I to f course make arrangements to reschedule when my students go on vacations.

It is a two way street, I don't want to penalize them for going on vacation and on the other hand want to insure that they progress so countenuity counts and I have to be responsible financially  and protect my time and income.

Tried it and liked it๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’˜

Made lots of lifetime friend s over the years my like to see students gratified by their progreds, enjoy music for hopefully a lifetime, and observe their confidence when they can do something bc well. Helps to get together w other students.

Two cellists doubled as pianists, a singer, 4 students at two pianois! Students very creative and tech savvy

Took pics with theit camera phones and read from them in questionable light. Hilarity ensued! Played this way for 45 minutes!

Also, Schuyler ward, played her prelude after Back entitled "going up the mountain" she also played 4 or 5 Christmas carols that she prepared. At 11 years told her she played her first "Holiday Gig!"

Her piece was in the Composers Corner" students compose , create a cover I input into notation software from a phone recording and bind it, make a color copy on their cover art and sell for $1.00 at student events. 25¢goes to SPCA and 75¢ to student therefore the student learns, explores their creativity and pays it forward. Schuyler sold 3 copies! Write the students a check๐Ÿ˜Ž

A fun time had by all. Lots of good comments from students and families.

Be prepared to work consistently and you will reap the benefits and ENJOY!!!
