Description

Beginning piano with junior instructors is a program that allows BAMS to offer beginner lessons at a discount, while giving qualified high schoolers valuable teaching experience.

If there are no available trial lesson times or if you have a question about trial lessons, please contact us.

The trial lesson is an opportunity for student and teacher to meet one another to determine if they are compatible with one another, without any long-term commitment. Parents are welcome to accompany children. If a longer lesson length is desired, that can be arranged after the initial 30-minute session.

Bio

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.
