Bilbro published over 600 works, primarily in the field of music education. Her compositions included piano pieces, pianologues, song stories, piano duets and trios, and complete collections of piano music. Her teaching methods were recognized for their novelty in the context of children's piano instruction. [2] Bilbro operated a music studio in Gadsden, Alabama, from the 1890s to 1900s, and conducted master classes in multiple states. Beyond her work in music, she wrote short stories, a novel, articles for The Etude, and the "Legend of Noccalula," a text associated with Noccalula Falls in Alabama. In her later years, Bilbro experienced hearing loss but continued to engage with music. [2]
