Coming Together Through Music
Our Variety Is Our Strength
Perhaps you have had a dream to learn a specific instrument but it's possible you don't know which...... Deby can help you to find the right fit for you.
Adult Lessons
Always wanted to take music lessons growing up, but never had the chance? This for you!
Think you're too old? Not true.... many of my students are adults and even as young as 83!
Looking to sharpen your skills? Now is the perfect time!
Not only are music lessons good for your physical and mental health, you'll learn concepts much more quickly than you could have as a child. Lessons are fun, tailored to your needs and wishes, and give your self confidence a boost too.
