“You live your passion and stuff happens... things that come as naturally as breathing, I just, I have to do them.” – Debbie Center

A passionate composer, her many original piano compositions are available assheet music and more comprehensive piano books on her website. She has also written several books of music for an instrument called a zither. Audio recordings of many of Debbie’s compositions are available at her World of Harmony website.

“…. I’ve always got a camera in my hands or I’m always plinking around on the piano…when you’re following your passion, that’s when things start happening for you, I think.” – Debbie Center
