Tracy A Schueller, President, Personalized Tours Inc.: “Deborah McAlexander was a smash hit!”
Dr. Monte Shinkle, Concord Baptist Church: "Please allow me to commend Deborah McAlexander to you as you plan your next special event or concert. Deborah has an inspiring story to tell. She has been legally blind for many years. The fact that she can see at all is amazing. She is a wonderful pianist and horse woman. She combines the two through live piano performance and video presentation weaving in her story of faith. She adapts her presentation to fit the occasion. I highly recommend her."
Gayle Lampe, Professor Emeritus, William Woods University: “Deborah McAlexander gave a brilliant presentation that combined and compared learning how to ride a horse to learning how to live life in general. She gave a great performance on the piano and showed videos of her showing a beautiful American Saddlebred horse. This was all the more impressive because she is legally blind! Deborah’s courage and positive attitude is an inspiration beyond belief. I highly recommend that you take the opportunity to see her presentation. You will be glad to know that there are people like Deborah in this world, and that she has the ability to share her story in a manner that will help others to be more like her.”

Music Education
Music education is an investment in a lifetime of success and of enjoying music. Developing an appreciation for and understanding of music cultivates creative and intellectual growth.
My primary goal as a music educator is to create a safe environment in which my students can experience continual musical, intellectual, emotional, and creative growth, and to become increasingly dispensable to them in the process. Everything I do as a teacher relates to this fundamental objective: to help my students of all ages and skill levels grow so they will achieve success in their performance arena of life.
Year round, students of all ages and all skill levels are offered a comprehensive program specializing in repertoire, progressive piano technique, artistic expression and performance, directed practice, theory, musicianship, ear training, music history, improvisation, composition, sight reading, and ensemble playing. A combination of organized private, pair, group, and ensemble lessons prepare students for a variety of motivational performance events. Located in Jefferson City, Missouri, my upgraded independent studio features a Steinway grand piano, multiple Kawai keyboards for student ensemble practice and performances, high tech recording devices, and substantial educational resources.
Deborah McAlexander is a professional musician with a Master of Music Degree in Piano Performance from the University of Missouri-Columbia. She is also a Music Teachers National Association Permanent Professional Certified Teacher of Music in Piano, Immediate Past-President of the Mid-Missouri Area Music Teachers Association, Adjunct Professor of Music (Lighthouse Preparatory Academy), and President of the Morning Music Club of Jefferson City.
