About the teaching career

Lynda Lybeck-Robinson is an accomplished teacher, pianist, composer, singer, songwriter, and arranger. Lynda majored in music and earned her Bachelor of Arts at Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon, with an emphasis on classical piano performance and composition. She has performed and toured internationally, as a singer/songwriter as well as classical performer iincluding concerts in Turkey, Norway, Japan, and France. 


Lynda is an alum of the International performing  group Up With People (1981-82, Cast B) where, as a member of the orchestra as well as singing and dancing, she traveled with her cast throughout the southern and eastern United States, and internationally to Columbia and Peru. Their cast joined 4 others in entertaining millions around the world at the 1982 televised Super Bowl halftime show in Pontiac, Michigan. 


In 1996, to take a break from her touring schedule, Lynda arrived in Unalaska, Alaska for a 10 week contract performing at the Grand Aleutian Hotel.  Within days, she was teaching island students piano lessons in their homes and ended up staying in the community for two years. During that period, Lynda started the island's first professional piano studio, supported by the City of Unalaska and the PCR administration who provided a piano and small storage room for teaching. Lynda returned to Unalaska in 2002 as a guest concert artist. It was at this concert that  she met Unalaska local Dennis Robinson. Four months later,  they were married, and she returned permanently to the Aleutians, where  her new Aleutian island life began. She joined MTNA (Music Teacher's National Association) and resumed her island piano teaching, some years teaching as many as  40 students at a time, more than 10% of the island youth population. In 2009, the community center was remodeled, and included a large music room for the growing piano studio which also included a grand piano donated by the Robinsons. In 2012, Lynda was published for the first time by Hal Leonard Corporation. Her piece, Williwaw, was selected by the National Federation of Music Clubs for the featured 2014--16 catalogue. She now has several books and over 50  original piano solos and arrangements published by Hal Leonard Corporation,  the world's leading publisher of sheet music and music-educational books


Lynda continues to teach piano in Unalaska while composing with and for her students.
