Carole Edwards
Musical Director

Carole joined the choir as Musical Director in 2008, having been Associate Conductor of the Morriston Ladies Choir up until 2007. She has always had a love of music since childhood, having been brought up in a musical family. Carole started to learn to play the piano at 6 years of age, even playing hymns for school assemblies in Junior School!

​

Carole’s love of choral singing was nurtured in the Mynyddbach School Choir under the baton of Elwyn Rees and then Eric Jones. Helen, our deputy conductor, was also a member of that choir, along with some of our choristers, which says a lot for the impact it made on our musical lives.

 

Carole studied voice and piano while undertaking teacher-training in Cardiff and performed as a soloist in local concerts. Her career has spanned both primary and secondary schools in the Neath/Port Talbot and Swansea area.  Developing a love of singing with the children and putting on musical shows like ‘Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’ and ‘Jungle Book’ was a real pleasure. Before taking early retirement, Carole ran a Literacy Centre in a local comprehensive school and found it to be a very fulfilling role.
