    About Linda I.

    Bio I have sung in church and school choirs from the age of four, and have studied classical music as well as popular styles of music. I sang professionally in the Chicago area with The Jimmy Angel Trio, Gentle Wind, and The George Hansen Trio, and currently teach private lessons. Services I never want a student to feel "stuck" in one style. I think you should sing anything you choose! I help students become soloists, get ready for auditions for musicals or college, prepare students for school based solo contests, church ministry, preparation for recording, as well as for those who have written their own music and want to sing it better. Everyone who tries, improves! That is a fact. I teach students from the age of 10 - adult and many have become lifelong friends. Please join me in a relaxed, nurturing lesson that will help to bring out your full potential. I love to watch the lovely results of people growing and developing into musicians. I sang professionally in bands in the Chicago area, until I began to have children. Then I taught lessons at home and sang more for church and community events. Now, I teach as well as sing professionally, and I have such joy in my life from music. Let me share that with you!
