About Linda

Linda Jane's life has been a fun, rewarding, and exciting journey into music and medicine. As a young girl she completed her grade 10 in Royal Conservatory piano. Throughout young adulthood she continued to explore her love of music with voice and instrument accompaniment in recording studios, stage performances, choirs, ensemble, orchestra as 2nd violinist, piano instruction and group music appreciation.

Linda is an auxillary member of the Registered Teachers Association of B.C.

In accordance with the requirements of prescribed by the Royal Conservatory of Music, Linda has successfully completed the certificate program requirements for Elementary Pedagogy (Gold Medal), and Intermediate Pedagogy towards the ARCT Diploma in Piano Pedagogy. She is currently working on her Advanced Pedagogy, and ARCT Performers.

Linda's professional career as a registered nurse spanned 30 years. From the early years as a young nurse she realized that her natural manner of implementing fun and laughter into her work had a wonderful, often healing, influence on her patients as well as other staff. During the busy years of balancing a demanding vocation and raising two sons, she always found time to explore her passion for music.

In 2005, Linda made a decision to retire from medicine and merge her two interests of health and music. She believes the bridge is a natural one.

I loved nursing, it educated me in the art of observation, nurturing and recognizing the needs of others. These are also very necessary requirements for a music teacher. My passion has always been music. It is a way for me to care for people that enriches their lives. Laughter and fun have always been present in everything I do. Combine that with music and you have a perfect environment for creative and unique musical experiences....Linda

She is a dynamic, sensitive and caring teacher. Can learning music be fun? Would that make a difference to your child? In Linda's experience, it can make ALL the difference.

Linda continues her studies in music, and as a student herself, can relate directly to the needs of other students.
