About
I have lots of experience in teaching in home, at my home and online private lessons (10 years online and 24 years total). I live on the east side of Winter Park which is centrally located to many areas in Orlando. I customize the learning and music to each student. For me, it's all about each student instead of always following just one method or curriculum! I really go the extra mile to make sure each student enjoys the songs they are playing and makes good progress at their own pace. My students get a lot of choices so they participate actively and the learning doesn't seem enforced. I have 24 years of experience (including 10 years experience teaching over the Internet) so I really know what works best to help students be able to play or sing. I don't get angry with my students and am happy to encourage them by only positive means. Many of my students play or sing in recitals, talent shows, competitions, musicals and theater productions and they perform very well! I also customize the payment and price - I'm willing to give senior and student discounts, put together packages and volume discounts, etc. I'm willing to try to work something out that fits the student's budget and the best way to pay that works for them. I am definitely a "people-person". I've been told I'm good with kids. It's a joy for me to work with my students and to see them sing or play better and better. I feel like their successes and achievements are mine, too! I also am very passionate about music and teaching and have a lot of patience and understanding about the challenges one faces in trying to play or sing well, so I can help them overcome any difficulty!

Debbie has a very simple approach to teaching. My daughter who is 10 and has not formal piano training was able to come home after her very first lesson and play parts of 4 different songs. As you might imagine this has kept her very motivated, and the rest of the family entertained. My son who is 16 has now asked for lessons as well. Super exciting for a kid who was not interested in music at this time. I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a piano instructor.

Details: 10 - 13 years old • No, the student cannot read music • No formal training • Pop • Yes, the student has a piano • 30 minutes • As soon as possible • The piano teacher travels to me

Debbie was just what I needed to get me started with piano! She was not only very knowledgeable she was very patient and supportive as well. I was playing songs the first lesson and haven’t stopped playing yet. If I didn’t move out of town I would still be taking lessons with her!

Details: I travel to the piano teacher • 60 minutes • No formal training • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a keyboard • 18 - 25 years old • No, the student cannot read music

I am an adult not having taken piano lessons for a very long time. I very much enjoy Debbie as my teacher. She is extremely patient and very personable. Debbie is very knowledgeable and knows her craft. She was able to quickly perceive what I needed to get me started on the right track. I highly recommend her!
