Born and raised in Utah, Carolyn Emery comes from a very large family and is the third of twelve children. Her Mom started teaching her to play at age five and continued to be her instructor for fifteen years. Carolyn has now been playing the piano for over thirty years.
Carolyn attended the University of Utah, working towards a music degree with emphasis in Piano Performance. She began studying with Dr. Jie Lu in the summer of 2010 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Carolyn accompanied the University of Utah Women’s Chorus for one number in their 2010 Fall Concert, and devoted a year to the University’s Outreach program, which gives under-privileged children in Title One schools the opportunity to learn the piano.
Carolyn’s family is very musical. They have arranged musical numbers and performed them in front of live audiences countless times. Carolyn and several members of her family were members of the I.M.A.G.E.S. and ViZion choirs for six years, directed by Teresa Williams. Teresa became a large part of Carolyn’s life, and inspired her love for teaching music. She demonstrated how it can bring people together and touch their lives. Teresa also produced many theatrical productions. Carolyn played the part of “Louisa” in her production of “The Sound of Music” and played “Hodel” in “Fiddler on the Roof”.
In 2006, Carolyn learned to play the cello and joined a small community orchestra called the “Millennial Musicians”. It has been a wonderful experience for her to broaden her vision. She says, “It is a lot of work, but so rewarding to see my dedication and efforts start to show in my ability to play the instrument and make it a part of who I am.”
Some of her favorite pastimes are crocheting, sewing, beading, and making tatted lace. She has won First Place ribbons for her projects at the Utah State Fair for the past several years. She also enjoys playing volleyball, hiking, and camping. In addition to playing the piano, she loves singing, ballroom dancing, and acting. She also enjoys irish dancing and regularly competes in adult competitions.
Carolyn met her husband Travis in the spring of 2006, and was married in the spring of 2008. They are a very happy couple who welcomed a son in 2011 and a daughter in 2013. They are expecting their third child is September 2022.
