Deborah McNaney

I enjoy teaching students of all ages in the Mechanicsburg area, from kindergarten through adult with the intent to teach and reach every student. It is the goal of my studio to make learning fun through off-the-bench activities, group lessons, and utilizing the latest technology from music theory. It is important that we take advantage of our teaching community by encouraging students to participate in the events our organization offers such as honor recitals, festivals, and Piano Extravaganza which encourages them to express themselves and allows them to discover their favorite genre of music.
