Hi, I'm Linda Gould
I am a mom, grandma, pianist, composer and educator who's passion for the last 4 decades has been teaching adults to play piano with piano chords and lead sheets. I love creativity in music and helping teachers grow and become comfortable teaching with chords.
My training was classical with 2 university music degrees in piano performance. I have performed and taught for many decades but I felt something was missing in my music education.
As we reached a the new millennium, I wrote Play Piano Chords TODAY so any adult, young or not-so-young, could play songs in weeks not months. Sometimes even days!
Play Piano Chords TODAY was composed over a period of 10 years with the help of hundreds of adult students and teachers with wonderfully specific wants, needs and desires. Won't you join me today, discover your musical creativity and enrich your students?
