Anna Linzey
Growing up in a musical family, Miss Anna Linzey has enjoyed playing both the violin and piano from an early age. Beginning piano at the age of 6 and violin at age 9, Anna studied under several teachers for both instruments including Lindsay Bertram, Marilyn White and Ron Brickman in piano, and Bethany Morris, Brook Moes, and Hong Zhu in violin. Having received and registered violin teacher training and development with the Suzuki Association of the Americas from Ronda Cole and Ann Metzker-Smelser up to date, she is thrilled to pass on the exciting experiences of music making to others, endeavoring to encourage the development and use of each one's skills and abilities for the purpose of giving others a high opinion of Who God is and to be a help to people.
Anna has performed on the violin and piano as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestra member and accompanist for various occasions including weddings, receptions, banquets, singing gigs, cantatas, recitals, concerts and special services, and recording projects. From 2010-2018 she directed a thriving violin and piano studio in Oklahoma City giving individual lessons for both instruments, conducting periodic formal recitals for the entire studio, hosting group classes for violin as well as providing a series of music theory classes open to others outside the studio also. In 2015 she became the violin instructor at Heartland Baptist Bible College and taught there for 7-1/2 years. She served on staff at HBBC from 2017-2018 as Music Department Secretary, and during that time accepted the invitation to be a featured workshop speaker for the college studio class on a couple of scheduled opportunities. She has also been a sought out tutor for various students looking for help in specific areas of practice strategies. Since 2018, she has conducted individual lesson virtually, while still taking students in person whenever location and commitment allows.
Anna is the oldest of sixteen children. She thoroughly enjoys living life to the fullest and helping to cultivate strong family relationships. When she is not teaching, babysitting, practicing, running errands, arranging music, spending time with family and friends, or helping out with household duties, she can often be found reading, writing, or spending time with her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Allegro :).
