Debbie started playing flute when she was 13 years of age. Having studied with Margaret Crawford and Gerhard Mallon, she graduated from the Queensland Conservatorium in 1988. She has since established a name as one of the most respected and dedicated flute teachers in Brisbane and is currently teaching flute at Churchie and St Peters Lutheran College as well as privately.

Debbie enjoys teaching children aged 5 and over and her aim is to develop each child’s potential to express themselves through music. Small flutes are available for young children and Debbie also has a number of flutes to loan.

Debbie’s students have the opportunity to perform at eisteddfods and various concerts throughout the year. Past and current students have been accepted into the various Queensland Youth Orchestra and Young Conservatorium Ensembles.

Having studied Alexander Technique and Hatha Yoga in depth, Debbie employs the principles of these disciplines in her teaching, particularly with regard to posture and a relaxed approach to playing.
