From a young age, Barbara showed a keen interest in music and began taking piano lessons at the age of five. She quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument and began performing in public at the age of eight. As Barbara grew older, she became increasingly interested in classical music and began studying the works of composers such as Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. She also began taking lessons in other instruments, including the violin and the cello, and began performing in orchestras and chamber groups. In 2003, Barbara was accepted into the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she studied piano performance under the tutelage of renowned pianist John Lill.

The following year, Barbara was awarded the prestigious International Classical Music Award for her performance of the concerto.
