About Me

Considered by some to be the world's latest bloomer, Barb is a self-taught guitarist who now makes a living teaching music classes for pre-schoolers at various city community centres. In 2005 she released "Rootin' in the Attic", the CD who's tracks are featured here. Being a big proponant of traditional songs, she also performs for seniors around the city. A song writer as well, Barb is now fulfiling her need to perform for and with peers. Armed with not only her own songs, but cover tunes which number in the hundreds, she hosts a sing-a-long type night where patrons can request from a list. Currently working on her first original recordings (mp3s will be updated as ready) and performing at locales about town, one thing is for sure...she's still blooming.

Who we are and how we learn

Personality Types A brief search on the web will turn up all kinds of sites on personality types. Some say there are 16, some only 4, but what is certain is that there are differences in how we re...

In the beginning...

There is no doubt that music enriches our lives but perhaps our connection with it goes even further. It is, indeed, the universal language, found in every culture. We seem to need it at our very...
