This is Mr. Barber's 5th year of teaching elementary music for WJUSD. I have previously taught music for both middle and high school, and have been enjoying seeing students excel in the music programs. I am a graduate from Cosumnes River Junior College where I earned my Associate of Arts Degree in General Education. I am also a graduate from California State University of Sacramento, where I earned both my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education, with an emphasis in instrumental music, and my California Teaching Credential.
