Together with his father, he established the Christiania Organist School in 1883, with 12 students. In 1885 it had 174 students and was renamed the Music and Organist School. This was renamed again in 1892 to the Christiania Music Conservatory, which was the only institution of its kind in Norway until 1905.[4] Lindeman's wife, the pianist and composer Anna Severine Lindeman, also taught at the school. After Lindeman's death in 1930, his son, the cellist Trygve Lindeman (1896–1979), headed the school.[2]
Lindeman composed many musical works, and also wrote textbooks. He founded the Norwegian organists' association in 1904 together with his brother, the organist Kristian Lindeman (1870–1934), and others. Lindeman headed the organization several times and was the editor of and a regular columnist in the association's newsletter, Musikbladet (Music Magazine), published from 1908 to 1921.[2][5]
