I love teaching music and care deeply about the musical development of all my students. The lessons include music fundamentals such as reading music, rhythm, melody, harmony. The lessons emphasize correct technique, instruction in theory, playing with beautiful tone and musical interpretation. In addition, playing by ear and memorization techniques are integral aspects of the musical education. And most important, you will learn lots of great songs in various styles!

Debra is an amazing piano teacher. She has been teaching my daughter for about 8 years now, and my son, who was not too interested to take lessons at the beginning, is now also taking lessons with her. She is very skilled in her craft, very patient, and takes the time to really customize the lesson based on the student's interest and challenges. Debra will suggest new songs and learn new songs herself, based on their unique interests, to keep them engaged and excited for lessons. She is very flexible when we have schedule conflicts and very responsive in communicating with us. She encourages my daughter to try out for competitions, which boosts her confidence and keeps her motivated. My kids fill our home with music everyday and they love playing the piano, takes to Debra!
