A rural town like Hiram, Georgia may not seem a likely start for an international recording artist, but that is exactly where Carol Albertâs music talent emerged. In early childhood, Carol loved nothing better than to share the piano bench with her beloved grandmother. âMy grandmother lost an arm to cancer, so she played the bass with her left hand and taught me to play the treble with my right. She also composed songs in her sleep and taught them to me. In sharing her melodies,â Carols says, âmy grandmother imparted her love for me as well as her love of music.â As her music appreciation grew, so did Carolâs aptitude for classical piano. She earned her Bachelor of Music degree from Georgia State University, and then embarked on a career in which she has left her mark nationally and internationally.

Internationally, Carol has toured four separate times in Europe, performing in Sweden, Germany, France, England, Ireland and Spain. Her CDs have also been quite popular overseas. Innovative Communications, her German record label, named Carolâs Tides of Change among their âBest of Instrumental Music.â Along with Tides of Change, Carol has produced four other CDs: Love in Your Eyes, Christmas Impressions, Morning Music and Night Music. Her works showcase original compositions along with Carolâs interpretations of selected popular music.

In 1991 she received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Achievement and Individual Excellence as a Composer for original theme music. Carol also took First Place for the Atlanta Songwriters Associationâs award in the Professional Category for Jazz.

Formerly a staff accompanist for the Georgia State University Music Department, Agnes Scott College and the Atlanta Ballet, Carol uniquely draws from her classical training to create a blend of smooth, contemporary jazz and easy instrumental rhythms. Her Atlanta area concert appearances include the Fox Theatre Keyboard Colossus, Blue Sky Concert Series, Dogwood Festival, Georgia Music Festival, Piedmont Arts Festival, Dekalb College Concert Hall, Taste of Atlanta Festival, New South Music Showcase, WPBA TV Jazz Series, and Good Day Atlanta. Carol has also performed for the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon, WSB-TVâs Walk for Hunger and WAGA TV5âs Arthritis Telethon.

Carolâs many performance venues have been in cities across the US. She is a professional member of NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences) and ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers).
