About Me
Linda’s Story
It all began with a family road-trip to a musical in Bardstown, KY. I saw the young singer on the stage and I knew I needed to be like her… to sing like the best of them and to perform on the stage. I hid my talents for so long behind a shy exterior, so I developed a persona for the stage to feel comfortable and confident. After years of my mother and father’s love and encouragement, I set off to Virginia to pursue my dreams and have been teaching and performing here since.
Maybe you have these feelings yourself or maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Whatever your story is, I’m here to get to know you and to work with your individual voice and talent.
