Introduction
I have lots of experience in teaching online private lessons (7 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 6 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 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

My first lesson with Ms. Boykin musical experiences I have had. She recognized the knowledge and abilities I already possessed, and she capitalized on those in a way that I not only felt comfortable with, but in a way I would expect any teacher to with any student that they may have. A wonderful teacher, I look forward to continue working with her.

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!

I can only speak from a begainners perspective in music but Debbie is very pleasant to be with and has a calmness about her that makes her teaching style easy and not stressful. She is attentive to your goals and will give you that extra push forwarding your skills for the next lesson. I am very pleased with how quickly I am learning keys and reading notes in just 3 weeks. I would highly recommend Debbie for any age peson that wants a skilled piano instructor.

Details: 45 - 64 years old • No, the student cannot read music • No formal training • Classical • Yes, the student has a piano • 60 minutes • As soon as possible • The piano teacher travels to me

A few lessons in, and I can tell I'm going to learn so much. She caters toward my learning pace and understands where I struggle the most. I love how she has different methods to help her students, and because of this, I know I am getting personalized lessons that keep me wanting to learn. As an adult who has had no formal lessons growing up, I feel like I will thrive and learn with her as my teacher.
