Inez had a long career as a music teacher. She taught at schools in Stocholm until her late 60's. For several years she taught piano at Richard Andersson Musikskola, and she taught at Maria Folkskola. Maybe unsual in Sweden in the 1920's, but Inez was a working single mother since her son was 17 months old. She continued as a private music teacher many years after her retirement from the Stockholm schools in the mid 1960s.
