Mrs. Ninnemann

Instrumental Music Director - Xavier Middle School

Grades 5 & 6

I am excited to be entering my 34th year of teaching instrumental music. I have been with the Xavier Catholic System for all but two of those years. In those years, I directed the bands at our Catholic Central, St. Bernadette and St. Thomas More elementary campuses, and well as serving as Assistant Director here at our Middle School.

I was born in North Dakota in a small farming community near Canada.

I attended Oshkosh North High School and following graduation attended the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I received my Bachelor of Instrumental Music at UW Oshkosh.

In my spare time, I love time in my garden, walking and biking.

My husband Jim and I live here in Appleton. He is an instrument repairman at Heid Music.

He and I are both avid musicians in the area. We were lucky enough to have met in one of those groups. I have enjoyed performing many styles of music since my 5th grade beginning. . On trombone, I fell in love with Jazz and Symphonic music in High School. On Baritone, I began playing with an authentic German Concert Band, Dorf Kapelle and found a new love in German Folk music. Like many musicians, music is more than a hobby it is a great passion
