Pianist

Carol began playing the piano at the age of four although she didn’t get her first piano until her 8th birthday. She was in 10 years old when she was asked if she would like to play the organ at church. That began her journey and has played in several churches and continues to do so now. She loves to sing and has been at St. Andrew’s for 15 years. She especially loves to learn new uplifting praise songs to lead us into worship.
