Linda Herring Piano Studio
About
I have been offering private piano lessons to students age 4 through adult in northwest Houston area since 1991. I have a bachelor degree and a master degree in piano performance and pedagogy. I also taught private piano lessons at Lone Star College, Tomball for 9 years.
I am a member of National Music Teachers Asscoiation, Texas Music Teachers Association, Cypress Creek Music Teachers Association, and the National Piano Guild of Piano Teachers. My students regular attend studio recitals, Texas State Theory Test, and piano competitions.
Best part of my job is being able to work with my students for a long time. A lot of my students go through grade school taking piano lessons with me. Often I teach students for 10-14 years before they graduate from high school. I get to see my students grow up physically and musically into a accomplished pianist.
My goal in teaching piano is to make piano fun, yet challenging. I believe in instilling a lifetime enjoyment of music.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
For new students who have no piano lessons before, I want to start them on a good foundation in music reading, rhythm, and details to make the music come to live. In addition to learning from method books, I always let students pick a piece of their choice (with guidence). They will perfect this piece before moving on to another piece of their choice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor and a master degree in piano performance and pedagogy. I have been teaching piano to students age 4 through adult for 30 years. I know the teaching pieces and classical repertoire, which enable me to help students pick pieces they will love to practice to increase their skill level.

I think if you have a question, just ask the teacher. We are there to guide you. Asking questions is part of learning.
