Terri Tybring

Short Bio: I was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin. My parents were very positive people and I have wonderful memories of my childhood with them. For the past 29 years, I have been teaching elementary and middle school music in Random Lake. A highlight of my life was when my best friend from high school called me out of the blue to see how I was doing after all these years. Six months later, we were married and have been  married for eleven years. Between the two of us, we have three children and two grand-children. Over the past couple of years, I have had a passion to serve God and Immanuel in whatever way possible. 

Education: Beginning in 1974, I attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, hoping to do something with music.  I first pursued music composition, then switched to voice performance and finally switched to music education.  In1978, I received Bachelor of Science degree and in 1987, a masters degree, both in music education.
