About Debi & Contact Info
Debi is a Certified Teacher of the Alexander Technique having received her certificates from Tommy Thompson and from Alexander Technique International. She is also a Nationally Certified Teacher of Piano. In recent years Debi has added The Actors Secret training to her studies. This work, taught by Betsy Polatin, combines Alexander Technique with Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing© work and the breath work of Carl Stough.
Debi holds a Master of Music Degree in Piano Performance from Boston University. She currently teaches the Technique at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee and the Alexander Technique Center at Cambridge. She runs a teacher-training course at The Boston Conservatory, maintains a private practice in piano and the Alexander Technique and performs in the Boston area. She has taught workshops throughout the USA, and in Japan, Peru, South Korea and the Czech Republic. See her workshop website www.thewelltemperedpianist.com .
Debi’s interest in the work stems from her own experience recovering from hand injury. The Alexander work was last in a long line of investigations toward healing. It was the only discipline that sufficiently addressed her needs. She feels a responsibility to share this important work with others. She has published articles in various music and Alexander journals. You can read her article here on Piano and Alexander Technique.
