Bass Guitar

⭐️Based in Los Angeles | Performer & Songwriter 🧞‍♀️Our studio philosophy: Passion…Practice…Progress...Professionalism!

🎼 Music flows through me like blood in my veins. Whether it be jazz, rock, metal, or more, I enjoy, perform, and write in a multitude of genres.

I have been ambitious in writing and performing my whole life. In my early years, I studied classical piano in the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM). Through those RCM studies, I entered my compositions in national and state songwriting contests and won Second Place in Canada Music Week as well as Third Place in the Composers Today program hosted by the Music Teachers' Association of California. I attended university for music, immersing my life in my music passion. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies (Vancouver Island University) and went on to achieve my Master’s of Fine Arts in Music (California Institute of the Arts).

I love teaching all ages for vocals, guitar, piano, and bass.

Mage is the greatest piano teacher she is kind and she take time to teach my little boy really enjoy‘s learning from her.
Mage music is the best.

Mage is fantastic! I didn’t think the on line piano teaching would be that effective but with the right instructor it is great. I would highly recommend Mage.

Love Linda! She is great with our daughter, very patient and makes it fun to learn. Our daughter picked up on her 1st lesson well and is looking forward to seeing teacher Linda again.

As an adult first time music student, I really appreciate Linda's calm supportive teaching techniques.

Awesome teacher - even for an old dude that doesn't have a clue !
And good person too !!!

We Had a great first lesson and look forward to more improvement with lindas help, Charlie @ Out Of Order

We've been through quite a few teachers and Linda has a great balance of working through fundamentals but yet still allowing our children to explore their own creative instincts.  She's the best!!!

great humor, professional, makes learning fun and helps you progress quickly and properly

Linda is currently teaching my young daughter guitar & voice. Linda has a unique style of being able to connect with her students because of her passion for what she loves to do & it shows in the progress of her students. She is patient & finds ways to communicate what she is teaching & makes it easy for students . I’ve seen great progress in my daughter from starting off slow now she has a momentum that is pretty awesome to see & it stems from Linda’s passion & ability as a great teacher !

As an older student who has always wanted to play guitar, but didn't know where to start, discovering Linda has made that transition very seamless, and welcoming. Linda has great patience for students of all ages, and can relate to our different learning styles, all the while presenting material in a way that is easy to understand, and with clear goals in the curriculum to help me stay on track.  Linda has an amazing ability to teach, and can demonstrate the necessary fine motor skills I am continually learning.  I look forward to my lessons every week!
