Caroline Anne

I was at College Heights Elementary School for my practicum this semester.  In this school, each morning they will play music over the PA system.  The music isn't loud, it is soft, a technique used to get the students to pay attention and begin to settle in.  During the morning announcements, they would always give a little talk about who the artist was and say something about the song that was played.  I really  enjoyed this part of the day because it helped me to further revisit the days when I would listen to classical music.  I never paid attention to who I would listen to, I just enjoy  it as I find it soothing.  I really enjoyed beginning each day listening to this music.

Each week the school would pick a composer for the week and one of the composers we listened to was Caroline Anne.  Caroline Anne's music is inspired largely by the Bronte's life and writing.  For inspiration for her music, Caroline would visit Howarth Parsonage where the Bronte's grew up

Caroline comes from a musical family, both parents graduated from  Birmingham Conservatoire.  Her grandfather was a composer.  Caroline began learning piano at age 4.  Caroline was asked to write the musical score for a theatre production of "The Ash Girl", by Timberlake Wertenbaker at De Aston College in Lincolnshire.

Caroline graduated form music college in Leeds and won the Classical Pianist of the Year Award.  She uses her piano talents to play recitals across Lincolnshire, raising money for church funds and children's' charities.
