About Carol Reynolds
For more than 20 years, Dr. Carol Reynolds was Associate Professor of Music History at the Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

Carol also is a uniquely talented and much sought-after speaker for arts venues and general audiences. Never dull or superficial, Carol brings to her audiences a unique mix of humor, substance, and skilled piano performance to make the arts more accessible and meaningful to all.

Carol has led arts tours to Russia, Austria, Germany, San Francisco, and Broadway on behalf of several arts organizations. Her enthusiasm and boundless energy give tour participants an unforgettable experience.

She makes her home on a farm near Bowie, Texas, where, with her husband and teenage daughter, she raises La Mancha goats and soaks up the rich cultural heritage of rural America. She maintains a second residence in Weimar, Germany — the  home of Goethe, Schiller, Bach, and Liszt, and the focal point of much of Europe’s artistic heritage.

What Others Say about Carol
“This is not your typica snore-inducing pre-concert lecture.  ‘Windnotes with Professor Carol’ is like an impassioned sermon combining history, music theory, and behind-the-scenes dirt on the pieces and composers featured in the evening’s program.”  - Dallas Wind Symphony

“Yesterday’s event was memorable as I watched you improvise this show in the most brilliant way. It was like jazz: you knew the theme and came up with all these variations and pulled those tricks collected from years and years of experience in teaching and public speaking. I was truly in awe with the way you took the show and ran with it at 1000 miles per hour. 50 minutes had passed and no one noticed it. In fact, when over, I saw smiles on the faces of every member of the audience. No wonder that so many, if not all, of them rushed to sign up for the season, which will now result in chartering a second bus for this group.”  - Sevan Melikyan, Van Cliburn Foundation

“Carol makes anything she talks about fascinating.”

“Her enthusiasm, her stimulating lecture manner, her obvious knowledge of the subject, her kindness and love of people show through!”
