Harold E. Barbee was a music teacher at Heights High School before he became a management consultant.

Mr. Barbee, 57, president of Training Research & Design, a consulting service, was making a speech Monday at the Cleveland Engineering Society when he collapsed. He died shortly after at St. Vincent Charity Hospital.

Mr. Barbee started his own firm about 10 years ago and specialized in helping small, privately held companies. He had an office downtown in the WIlliamson Building, but closed it recently because he was doing most of his work out of an office at his beef cattle farm near Carrollton, O.

He conducted seminars in a lecture room at the farm. He also had an office at his home in Garfield Heights.

After graduation from Baldwin-Wallace College in 1943 and serving in the Army Air Force, Mr. Barbee was choral director at Heights High until 1959. Then he joined Western Reserve University as an adult education representative.

He became director of an executive development department at the university and about 1964 joined B.F. Goodrich Co. as a management development specialist.

Recently, Mr. Barbee had been conducting a number of seminars at the Cleveland Engineering Society and had been nominated for the society's board of governors.

He was a past trustee of the International Work Simplification Institute, a past vice president of the Cleveland chapter of the American Society for Training and Development, and had served on the educational council of the Growth Association.

He also taught behavioral science classes at Cleveland State University and wrote articles for trade journals. He had a master's degree from Western Reserve University.

His wife, Jeanne, a brother and a sister survive.
