“My 2 daughters, ages 14 and 16, have been taking piano lesson from Linda since they were 5. Now in high school, both still express that they want to continue taking lessons and are determined to complete the HS piano program. I have to give all credits to Linda, because she kept the lessons fun and engaged, pushed them when they needed to be, and gave them room to breathe they worked hard. My kids were not natural born talents, but Linda kept them interested since day 1 so they practiced hard and advanced quickly.
I highly recommend Linda to teach any level of student at any age, whether they be completely musically inexperienced or have extensive knowledge already; there is always more to learn, and Linda can teach it.
If you want to contact me for any question, please ask Linda for my number. I would be happy to talk to you.” – Thanh

“I am an adult student that has taken piano lessons from Linda Herring for over 20 years. Linda has always been patient, kind and encouraging. She has a very strong background in music and piano and it shows in her teaching. Linda has helped me progress at my pace, read music and appreciate different composers.
I have also seen Linda work with children of all ages including my own daughter. She has a very unique way of working with students and calmness that brings out the best with each person.” --Gary

“I took piano lessons from Ms. Linda for 13 years, ending when I left for college. I always looked forward to the lessons. Ms. Linda is a patience, but firm teacher. She paced her lessons to meet my needs and individualize them with the music that appeal to me. Although I was her student from kindergarten through my senior year of high school, I felt comfortable that the lessons were appropriate to both my age and my skill level. Ms. Linda is a excellent teacher and I highly recommend her.” – Lian

“Linda has taught four of my children whose ages range from 11 to 18 years old. She's very patient and friendly when teaching my children. She has chosen songs that my children enjoy and look forward to playing. She gives them challenging pieces, but also supports them when they are frustrated. Linda personalizes the lessons to the level of each of my children who never complain about her. They participate and do well in many events such as piano recitals, theory tests, and piano competitions.” -- Kathy

"I had the good fortune to take piano lessons from Linda Herring for two years. I was a non-traditional (older) college student, but she was very gentle, patient and kind in dealing with me. More importantly, however, is that she brought out the best in my piano skills. She thoroughly prepared me for playing in front of a college “jury” of music professors on four separate occasions, as part of my grade.
Linda Herring was able to change me from a pianist into an artist, and that was no small feat. I highly recommend her as a piano instructor." --Kathy R.
