Linda Johnson

Linda Johnson is a Music Educator, Arts Integration Specialist, and Entrepreneur near Dallas, TX.  She began her career in education over 25 years ago as an elementary music teacher in Dallas ISD and taught secondary choirs in other districts for several years before returning to teach elementary where she explored songwriting, music technology, and arts integration. 

Ms. Johnson has been a writer and creative for as long as she can remember, and while in the 5th grade, she wrote and directed her first skit and TV commercial using 3 of her classmates for a social studies project. Gathering from this experience years later as a new teacher, she was eager to find a way to incorporate music and arts into her lesson plan. But instead of the elementary classroom, her first job was in the music room where she had the freedom to design cross curricular lessons that made learning exciting and new for her students. Teaching in low socioeconomic and majority minority schools made culturally relevant instruction an integral part of keeping students engaged in learning. Looking for a way to teach more efficiently, she became a certified Arts Integration Specialist in 2018. This move enabled her to create content and develop PD courses that centered around equity and culturally responsive teaching through the arts.   

 Before leaving the classroom in 2019, Ms. Johnson took on leadership roles in various districts as a lead music teacher and elementary honor choir clinician. Currently, she teaches piano at Music Lover’s Learning Center, supports her two adult children who are also music educators, and serves as educational consultant for music, strategic planning and program design for out of school time programming, as well as a choir clinician locally, and throughout the state of Texas.
