about lynda 

Passionate, Innovative Music Educator

Lynda is one of only 20 teachers in Australia to be awarded the Kawai “Break Out” Award for innovative excellence in music teaching. She holds multiple qualifications, including Music Teaching degrees from Trinity College London and Berklee College in the USA, and is a certified Mentor of Teachers for the Queensland Music Teachers Association.

Beyond her credentials, Lynda’s passion is giving everyone — including neurodiverse members of our community — the opportunity to enjoy learning music. Her work as a teacher and community leader has made her a well-respected figure in the local arts scene.

Lynda’s Music Studio is also a proud patron of the arts in Douglas Shire. She and her students actively support local community organisations by performing at and promoting their events. She played a key role in organising, fundraising, and securing a $65,000 Kawai Grand Piano, gifted to Douglas Shire Council for everyone in the community to enjoy.

A Personalised Approach to Music Learning

Lynda believes no two students learn in the same way or share the same musical interests. Her flexible teaching philosophy ensures lessons are adapted to each student’s needs, learning style, and preferred genres. This means every learner can explore their creativity, build confidence, and develop music skills that last a lifetime.

From beginners taking their first steps to advanced musicians refining their artistry, Lynda tailors her curriculum to help each student achieve their personal goals — while keeping lessons enjoyable, engaging, and inspiring.

Lynda is a very patient and committed music teacher, and I have loved watching my two boys enjoy music training with her for the past two years. She tailors each lesson to how the boys are feeling, makes it fun, and gives them incentives to better their practice and performances..and they like coming to lessons! I have personally seen just how committed Lynda is to music teaching and the local community.
