Deborah Masterson
Deborah began her ongoing TaKeTiNa training in 1998, earning a basic teacher certificate in 2001. Deborah finds TaKeTiNa to be not only an outstanding tool for exploring her particular musical passions (Korean, Middle Eastern, and Afro-Cuban drumming), but also a critical key to gaining a deeper understanding of herself and her relationships to others.
