1996 Athena

Debbie Pesnell is Vice-President of Operations and Marketing of the MIDI for Kids After-School Music Program and All Aboard the Music and Math Connection Pre-School Program.  She also acts as the liaison officer with MIDI for Kid’s partner – J.W. Pepper and Sons.  She is a twenty-year Texas public school music teacher having had experience at every level both in the classroom and music administration.  Her last fourteen years of teaching in Burleson ISD found her teaching thousands of amazing students including our first American Idol –  Kelly Clarkson. 

Debbie also has experience in the commercial music industry having worked as vocal director for Six Flags Over Texas, Show Choir Camps of America, Brightleaf Music Workshop and directing the Texas Showdown Show Choir Camp at Texas Christian University. Debbie’s mission statement for her newest endeavor is, “Teaching children to learn to love life through music” has always been very important to her and the MIDI for Kids and All Aboard After-School Music Programs are the perfect tools to do just that.  The MIDI for Kids and All Aboard After-School Music Programs are unique programs teaching children the traditional world of notation reading and incorporating the excitement of the garage band in learning to play familiar tunes by ear.  This program comes to a school at no cost whatsoever, being completely funded by class tuition.  MIDI for Kids is a collaborative effort between three companies:  MIDI for Kids After-School Music Program, All Aboard the Music and Math Connection and the J.W. Pepper and Sons Music Company.
