grew up singing in the congregation of West UnionMennonite Church near Parnell, Iowa. She remembers listening to herMother's strong soprano and hearing the altos, tenors and bassesnearby. At that time, the church was singing out of the black ChurchHymnal and the brown Life Songs, which often contained shaped notes.

In high school Roberta sang in the Iowa Mennonite School 1968-69 touring choir. The choir introduced hymns from that year's new red hymnal, "The Mennonite Hymnal," as part of their touring program.

Roberta does not come to the MSMH with formal musical training, butwith the informal "training" she has received as a participant inchurch singing. She is more of an organizational worker than a musicalone, and is dedicated to helping create opportunities for all who wishto sing, listen and learn about the kind of singing that has meant somuch to her.
