Other information: Debra has had the pleasure of teaching many fine students in the past. She is very proud of all her students' success in life as well as music. Her greatest joy in teaching is to see the thrill of playing or accomplishing something that was once thought to be impossible. One of her students has accomplished more than he ever thought possible. You may read about him by following this link: http://www.moderndrummer.com/updatefull/200001207
