Carolyn Connors

Carolyn teaches voice, improvisation, piano, ukulele, and tech. She also enjoys mentoring and the outside eye role.

She is passionate about the possibilities for experimentation, composition, education, and connection. Music, art, and performance are variously process, goal, template, and experience: the world becomes a bigger, broader, deeper, funner place.

“…As a performer, mentor and teacher, Carolyn Connors continues to initiate students into the craft of vocal improvisation” vocal folds – Gertrude Contemporary
