Who I Am
I am Linda Anthony with 50 years of experience in teaching piano lessons in the north, north west Houston area.
I have had a passion for teaching piano lessons since the 7th grade. Many of my students have been with me 10-13 years and some have gone on to major and minor in music on the university level.
What I Do
I work with Children and Adults: Beginners through Advanced and Teachers
Types of Lessons:
Private Lessons allow students to perform music they enjoy while developing skills in performance, phrasing, technique, memorization, sight-reading, transposition, theory, and original composition.
Group Lessons focus on ear training, harmonization, music theory, music history, and improvisation. Students have fun playing games and doing activities that reinforce the musical concepts.

Step 1: The Interview
Students are interviewed before lessons are scheduled for appropriate placement in repertoire for the private lesson and, if in K-12, for appropriate placement in a group lesson. The Interview is $30.
Step 2: Registration
Students sign a Studio Agreement and Registration Form listing the registration fee, tuition, holidays, make-up policy, and home practice schedule. Students can enroll anytime during the year.
Why take Piano lessons
Why Take Piano Lessons K-12?
This list of reasons was compiled by students in one of the group lessons: Robert A., Cheryl B., Carolyn D., Erin F., Tara M., Angela P., and Amy R.
- It is fun.
- It looks good on college applications because colleges want students who are well-rounded. (Medical schools readily accept musician major applicants because of their discipline level and dexterity level.)
Why Take Piano Lessons as an Adult?
- Piano lessons provide emotional release in a stress filled world.
- Research is conclusive: Piano lessons help keep the mind sharp and active to combat both physical and mental aging.
- Playing by ear limits you to playing only what you have heard. Learn how to sight- read so that your repertoire expands.
