She studied music education at the University of Illinois, and arranging and composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Linn found her calling early in life. She told her mother she'd like to be a songwriter...to be in the background. She also found a true calling to work with people who weren't neurotypical. She specializes in music lessons for people with developmental disabilities, or other non-typical learning styles, including giftedness, and has provided private music lessons for dozens of students over the last twenty-three years. At Ala-Costa Center in Berkeley, CA, she led a weekly chorus for students and staff at the center. She taught private lessons there, as well. For thirteen years she provided music classes for the West Contra Costa Early Intervention Program where she travelled to their preschool classrooms. She provides weekly day care music classes for infants and toddlers at Nini’s Place and Dinha’s Place in Richmond Annex, and at Hugs & Kisses in Oakland, as well as her for her private music students. Linn is currently working on a new collection of songs; recording and releasing them as singles through CD Baby, iTunes, and other online music stores.
