Album Notes

A rural town like Hiram, Georgia may not seem a likely start for an international recording artist, but that is exactly where Carol Albert’s music talent emerged. In early childhood, Carol loved nothing better than to share the piano bench with her beloved grandmother. “My grandmother lost an arm to cancer, so she played the bass with her left hand and taught me to play the treble with my right. She also composed songs in her sleep and taught them to me. In sharing her melodies,” Carols says, “my grandmother imparted her love for me as well as her love of music.” As her music appreciation grew, so did Carol’s aptitude for classical piano. She earned her Bachelor of Music degree from Georgia State University, and then embarked on a career in which she has left her mark nationally and internationally.

Internationally, Carol has toured four separate times in Europe, performing in Sweden, Germany, France, England, Ireland and Spain. Her CDs have also been quite popular overseas. Innovative Communications, her German record label, named Carol’s Tides of Change among their “Best of Instrumental Music.” Along with Tides of Change, Carol has produced four other CDs: Love in Your Eyes, Christmas Impressions, Morning Music and Night Music.
