Hillsdale Music and Arts was founded in 2022 by longtime Hillsdale resident Linda Stark and her partner Dan McLoughlin. Linda and Dan met in 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, and immediately bonded over their love of music. Linda, a trained classical pianist since the age of 5, has multiple college degrees in Music, Early Childhood Education and Business. Dan, also a musician since age 5, is a multi-instrumentalist, performer, composer and recording engineer with dual degrees in Music and Audio Engineering. Both have a passion and dedication to encourage education in the performing arts. Linda and Dan are thrilled for the opportunity to share their talent, experience and knowledge with the Hillsdale and Bergen County community.
