About Me
Debbie Murray performs and teaches both classical and jazz piano. Her specialties are in composition and applied music theory. Debbie promotes the Taubman piano techniques for enhanced performance and injury prevention. She believes that students should have fun and be creative while learning music, so all students write their own music in addition to their regular studies. Many of her students have won composition awards. Most write their own arrangements. Debbie is an accompanist for the Moraga public school system, and is on the Board of Directors for the Contra Costa Performing Arts Society. She actively participates in performance outreach events and benefits in both jazz and classical piano music.
