Linda’s music involvement began with piano lessons from her mother at age five, and progressed to more serious study of piano and pipe organ. Her interest in singing and accompanying developed in junior high and high school where she had performances and competitions as a vocal soloist, a small ensemble singer, and as a chorus member both in school and in a children’s community chorus, and keyboard work accompanying her school choruses, local area and All-State festivals, and working as a church organist and choir director.  

With this background, she studied at Fredonia State University, where she won a competition to perform as a soloist with the college orchestra, accompanied the college choir, the men’s choir, many instrumental and vocal soloists and ensembles, and performed frequently as a piano soloist.  

Upon earning her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in music education with a piano concentration, she moved to Long Island, where she taught kindergarten through sixth grade classroom music for many years.

She continues to be active with church work and piano accompanying, singing with What Four, a vocal quartet. She has performed solo keyboard and small ensemble period music at both Old Bethpage Village Restoration and William Cullen Bryant’s homestead in Roslyn Harbor, and now appears in an entertaining two-person program of period music called “Musical Manners and Mores.”
