Hi, I'm Caroline
_edited.png){kind=small}
Music and entertainment have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years I have gained a BA (Hons) degree in Music and Media, PGCE and CT ABRSM teaching qualification and for 30 years I played keyboard and performed vocal harmonies as part of a duo band. I previously owned and managed CD Music Academy for over 20 years, teaching piano, vocals and music theory. I have a passion for supporting disadvantaged people to achieve their full potential. I did this previously as a foster carer for Barnardos and at present I am a Shared Lives Carer, providing support to enable adults with special needs to live an independent life. I also manage a health and wellbeing choir at The Atkinson in Southport.
​
Through my work with CarouseI, I am now sharing my passion for music with a wide range of the community, focusing on adults with additional needs, mental health conditions, the elderly and people who are isolated.​

Our aim is to brighten lives through the power of music
