Carol enjoys composing and spontaneous
arranging of pieces during a live performance. She may take a child’s
melody and turn
it “inside-out” in the style of Mozart, and then into a bossa nova, and
end up with a Duke Ellington swing. She always likes to add a special
touch
to each piece she plays, which is one reason she enjoys singing and
playing
as a solo pianist. However, the challenge of performing with a group
and
the “magic” that occurs when musicians create a sound together is why
Carol
is always ready for a “Jam Session”. For many years, Carol performed as
the resident musician for the incredibly talented improv troupe at The
Comedy Warehouse on Pleasure Island at Walt Disney World in
Florida. Carol currently performs at the world famous Rose and
Crown Pub at the United Kingdom Pavillion in EPCOT at Walt Disney World
in Orlando, Florida.
