Linda Dillon Garcia currently studies piano performance at the University of Maryland, College Park. Her contributions to the community include tutoring children at LASOS and spending time with elderly residents at Amazing Grace Assisted Living facility in Bel Air.
Linda has honed her skills at the keyboard through over 13 years of study, performing solo, chamber music, and accompanying at area recitals. She has organized a CAS (creative, activity, and service) project to encourage young musicians to volunteer to play music at local nursing homes. Setting dates, confirming venues, planning and printing programs, recruiting and accompanying performers has been a chaotic joy! In addition to these performances, she has developed her teaching strategies by working as a swim instructor at Kids First Swim School.
Linda is eager to pass along her love and knowledge of music to young beginners. After completing her degree in music, she hopes to go to law school so that she can become a lawyer and serve the Spanish-speaking community in the United States.
