She particularly loves teaching the next generations of performers, having taught flute and chamber music on the faculties of Lehigh University and Moravian College in Pennsylvania, the Spence School and the Bloomingdale House of Music in New York, and the Köniz Musikschule in Bern, Switzerland. As a visual artist, Linda has received numerous Best-in-Show and First Prize awards, including solo exhibits held at Lehigh University, Moravian College, and the Nurture Nature Center. Ms. Ganus has also studied painting and drawing at the New York Studio School and the New York Academy of Art, and has exhibited widely across the United States. Her work has been commissioned by organizations such as the New York Philharmonic, David Sarnoff Research Center, Musical America, G.
