“I’d like to teach the world to sing.” This is truly Debbie Nordeen’s mantra. To boot, she not only teaches what she believes, she lives it; she “walks the talk”. Debbie is well known in Asheville for directing the Womansong of Asheville chorus. She feels she has had a destiny with women all of her life even though she also enjoys working with men.
