My service stands out because I've been a professional teacher, guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, Grammy member, international recording Artist, producer, & performer for decades. I specialize in beginning & intermediate students from 6yrs to 65+yrs. I truly enjoy what I do, with patience & excitement at watching my students grow in whatever style they enjoy! Scheduling is always flexible because teaching is my priority right now.
I bring a hands on approach to my instruction playing with the Students. I teach theory if desired. I also give Students real life onstage & recording experience if you live locally. So you can see & actually feel what it's like to be a professional performer playing songs you choose & love, on a live stage. For non local Students You can participate in online video creation!
We often do our recitals on real stages at the family friendly House of Guitars in Rochester,NY. Recitals & video creation are of course totally optional, and carefully nurtured and supported in every way.
My original music receives global airplay and I've been a Grammy member, with several projects that were up for consideration over the last decade.
* “ Black on Blue “ (written by Bernie Taupin) For consideration Grammy 2016
* “ It's All About Money" 55th GRAMMY Awards consideration for "Best Video''
** For consideration ''Best New Artist" in the 54th Grammy Awards .
... and much more on my website
I've also been awarded “Producers Choice Award for Best Female Rock Musician ” from the Los Angeles Music Awards, and was dubbed “ Rochester’s Queen of Blues Rock” by Rochester NY’s “ Freetime Magazine” .
" I get CD's from many major blues labels on a regular basis. Also Americana artists. ..... (Deborah Magone's-Alternate Realities) ROCKS & the acoustic tunes are soulful & pretty. ..... The best CD I have received in a long, long time. " Brother Wease, 95.1FM Clear Channel Radio, Radio Hall of Fame recipient, Rochester, NY
My hands on experience, understanding, & knowledge are truly advanced & unique. Between New York & California over the years I've had the great pleasure of opening up for Peter Frampton , Talas, Dakota, Shooting Star, JJ Bad Boy Jones , The Campbell Brothers & had the pleasure of playing with ; drummer Tammy Diddley (daughter of Bo Diddley), GRAMMY winner Janice Marie Johnson ( A Taste of Honey), jamming with Chris Beard , Joe Beard , Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix drummer), & Tim Bogert (Vanilla Fudge) ,Billy Talbot (Crazy Horse) among many others.
I've recorded & performed with a band and/ or solo/duo acoustically throughout the United States and Ontario, Canada, I've collaborated on award winning original music with other Grammy musicians across the globe & internationally sharing album credits with amazing artists like Quincy Jones & Julian Lennon.
Being of service to others in ways that bring joy into their lives . Watching my students , both young and old, grow and develop in their music skills brings a smile to their face and mine as well. Its truly a gift to have the desire & the tools to be able to express yourself through music! It's also one of the best ways to lift your spirits & maintain a healthy mindset during these challenging times. Peace .
