Her immediate grasp of complex and advanced music, her inherent technique, and her incredible ability to quickly and accurately memorize lengthy musical scores, soon endeared Linda to even her most senior instructors. After advancing quickly through the Roger Williams program, Linda then studied under Julliard trained Richard Kohfeld of Santa Monica and won numerous piano awards and accolades as a young pianist.
It was not long before Linda, still a teenager, auditioned for the Liberace show in Las Vegas and was immediately selected to tour with him in 1986. Mr. Showmanship was so taken with Linda''s natural talent and incredible entertaining capability, he subsequently invited her to perform at his last record breaking Radio City Music Hall engagement in New York City.

Today, one of the most popular and memorable parts of Linda''s concerts is her ''Top Ten Medley'' segment.

Linda is available for concerts worldwide. Her newest show, The American Piano Show, is an entertaining and educational tribute to American''s greatest composers.
