About Me
​I am Deb, a 15 year old boy from Naperville, Illinois. Originally born in India, I moved to the US when I was 6.5 years old, and I love both dearly! The reason I am doing this is simple. To develop my passion! The most fulfilling moments I have felt in my life come from playing the flute, and I wish to carry on that energy as best as I can onto those that I teach. In hopes of making them skilled explorers, but also talented musicians with an upper hand in the bands they play in. Whether it be school bands or external ones, my goal is to make them great leaders, and to develop an interest in playing their instruments. To ignite a spark!
​
Apart from music, I am also involved in multiple other fields, whether it be business, public speaking, community service, volunteering, etc. I use my knowledge from all of these experiences to benefit my students. Family is also a priority for me. You can find more about my experiences below.​
