About
My mother used to say, "Is that Barby playing the piano? My goodness, her feet don't even reach the pedals!". I taught myself how to read music and play the piano at about 5 yrs old, and started taking lessons at 9 yrs old. During my teens I was the accompanist for the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas at the Sea Pines summer camp I attended on Cape Cod; I also accompanied my high school choir, graduated high school and attended the Philadelphia Musical Academy for 2 years. At that point I decided that the demands of being a music major took away my enjoyment of playing the piano and I pursued a career in computer programming. Music remains my passion and avocation. I was the pianist at our church in San Diego for over 30 years. It was during that time that I realized my talent is from God, and I use that talent, not only for my own enjoyment and worship time, but also to share His blessings to others. I now reside in Tucson, AZ and share my love for music whenever I have the opportunity.
