"Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education, and children should be taught music before anything else."
- Plato

Recent research suggests that making music enhances learning, memory, and creativity. This phenomenon has been called the "Mozart Effect." Music enriches all of life - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Music is for all ages and it is for all of life.

 

Debra was a graduate and honor student of Rickards High School in Tallahassee, FL, where she was active in chorus, vocal ensembles and musicals. She earned her Bachelor and Masters Degree in Music Education from Florida State University, with voice as principle instrument, and piano, secondary.


Debra taught elementary school music in Colorado and taught piano, voice and Kindermusik in private schools in Tallahassee, including Stubbs School of Music, Yamaha Music School (now Cavatina) and at Jim Sims Pianos. She now teaches piano and voice from her home off North Monroe and I-10.


Debra has sung semi-professionally at weddings and in churches, including John Wesley Methodist and Unity of Tallahassee. She enjoys teaching both children and adults, and helping to enrich their lives through the joy of music.
