Linda taught music in public and private schools for more than 30 years. She also provided music and imagery sessions for individuals and groups of children and adolescents in a variety of settings, including public and private schools, after school programs, hospitals, and residential treatment centers.
She was inspired to write stories to address the needs of the children. Linda’s body of original work includes more than 150 stories for children, several teaching manuals, and Orff music curriculums (rhymes, songs, and dramas.)
All of Linda’s stories are written to inspire children to find self-awareness and healing in their lives.
Sessions
for Individuals and Groups
From the Adawehi Institute in Columbus, NC, Linda currently gives Music and Imagery sessions for individuals and groups. She teaches a variety of music classes and piano lessons at her studio in Tryon, NC as well as remote private lessons via zoom. Orff Music and drumming classes are also available.
Linda created an innovative process for working with children by combining her original stories with music and imagery. This process has proven effective in various settings and is the motivation for her recent publication, Stories, Music and Imagery: A Doorway to a Child’s Self-Esteem, ISBN ;978-1-59571-201-1. This book is a guide for teachers and adults who work with children ages 8-12.
