Hi, I’m Debi!
I’ve been teaching music for more than 30 years and have spent decades helping children 3+ discover the joy of music through lessons and creative, hands-on learning experiences.
My passion has always been finding ways to get children actively engaged in music—even off the piano bench. Now, I’d love to share those ideas with music teachers everywhere!
Off the Piano Bench was created for anyone who teaches music and wants practical ideas, resources, and support to feel more confident.
