Barb received her Bachelor of Music degree in PK-12 Vocal Music Education from Hastings
College in 1998. Her teaching career has taken her to Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, and
eventually back home to Nebraska, where she was born and raised. She has had the pleasure
of teaching in both rural and urban school settings, as well as both private and public
schools.
Barb has been an avid pianist over the years, playing for schools, churches, and choirs,
as well as having taught private lessons. In 2022, after 23 years in the music classroom,
she began a new challenge as the Peru State College accompanist. Her love of learning
and connecting with students will continue at the collegiate level and she looks forward
to the performances that are to come. Barb will receive her Master’s Degree in Curriculum
and Instruction from Peru State College in May 2023.
