Lynn received her masters in performance at San Francisco State University with Carlo Busotti. She was very involved with the Suzuki Piano Program there and eventually became the assistant coordinator for 80 children.
Lynn's goals as a piano instructor is to bring both musical enjoyment and knowledge to the student. She believes that piano creates the foundation for all forms of music and also with it a discipline which lends itself to all aspects of life. She works to instill in the student a love of music and the skills needed to both play the piano well and carry that knowledge to other instruments. When not teaching or playing the piano, Lynn enjoys spending time with her husband and two children.
