My name is Debra and I am 52 years old. I have spent most of my life in music. I learned piano at a music school here in Tulsa starting at the age of 4 years old until graduating from high school. I went into teaching music at an early learning school which I thoroughly enjoyed and probably inspired me to be the teacher I am today.

My favorite thing about teaching is getting to discover how others learn. The approach I use for one student will not always work for another. I think every person has a unique learning style and I love to develop new ways to teach concepts to my students.
