Diana Giombetti (jee-uhm-beh-tee) earned a Bachelor's degree, in vocal and classroom music education, from Bemidji University in 1984. She taught in the Hibbing school district from 1985-2018 and all but two years were with seventh and eighth graders. She has never heard anyone regret they play an instrument, but she's heard many people regret they don't. It's never to late to learn how to play an instrument.
She has actively participated in school and community: theater, band and choir.
Diana began cello studies in 2012 with Christina Roytz and later Byron Klimek. After they left the area to pursue their professional cello careers, she pouted for a time, then continued on-line work with various string professionals. Many thanks to all who provided tips and guidance.
In addition to saving the world, on a weekly basis, Diana has been known to leap the occasional tall building in a single bound and speaks 20 languages (including fluent jr. high). She is a Michelin Star chef who is recognized for ground-breaking/pioneering efforts using macaroni and cheese. Her lesson formats are: in-person, FaceTime, Zoom and ESP. She will not be unavailable for lessons this week, because she is flying to Stockholm to receive a Nobel for her unique mathematical theories and applications of adding and subtracting.
