Music is my way of changing the world, one note at a time!

I have had a passion for music since I first sat upon the piano at the age of two. 

​

I was born in Miami, Florida - where I began my piano studies at the age of four and  received my Masters Degree from the University of Florida! Go Gators!

​

I am honored to have been recognized as a Steinway Artist.

​

My adventures as a musician have spanned the globe from the Montreux Palace in Switzerland, The Oasis in Hong Kong, Century Court in Tokyo,  and to the magical Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

 

I enjoy composing as well as spontaneous arranging of pieces during a live performance. I may take a child’s melody and turn it “inside-out” in the style of Mozart, and then into a bossa nova, and end up with a Duke Ellington swing.

 

I spent many years traveling and living abroad in Europe and Asia, with home base in Switzerland and Hong Kong.  I returned to the USA to perform at Walt Disney World, where I have been performing in various shows on Disney property since 1990. I was the house musician with the incredibly talented improv troupe at the Comedy Warehouse at Pleasure Island for many years, the resident musician at the world famous Rose and Crown Pub at the United Kingdom Pavilion and the resident EPCOT Pianist  at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. 

​

It was a joy performing as the guest solo artist with the Space Coast Pops Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Richard Hayman performing my own compositions. I was the guest pianist with the Jacksonville Symphony performing the works of Marvin Hamlisch. 

 

The Carol Stein & Friends Jazz Band with Eddie Marshall, Charlie Silva, and Barry Smith have performed together over 25 years. These musicians all perform on the Jazz Lady CD.

 

I loves sharing my passion of music and enjoys volunteering for many charitable organizations such as The Jewish Pavilion, Hadassah, Jewish Family Services, Give Kids the World, The Steinway Society and many others. Music can make a difference!
