Accompanist
Caroline Conkle is a highly accomplished musician and dedicated educator who serves as an accompanist with the Girl Choir of South Florida. She works with all ensembles, sharing her skills on piano, violin, and percussion. Caroline is also a familiar face in South Florida’s choral community, frequently accompanying concerts and performance assessments for local school music programs.
Her connection with the Girl Choir began when her daughter joined the ensemble, and she quickly became a valued part of the community. Caroline went on to serve on the Board of Trustees from 2017 to 2022 and is delighted to continue supporting the singers in her role as accompanist. She brings both musical expertise and a genuine love for helping young musicians grow.
Beyond her work with the Girl Choir, Caroline maintains a thriving private teaching studio where she has been inspiring students in South Florida for nearly a decade. Known for her creativity and warmth, she believes that making music should be a source of joy, not stress, and she strives to share that philosophy with every student. In November 2023, she earned certification from TopMusic, a globally recognized leader in piano pedagogy, reflecting her commitment to fresh and innovative teaching methods.
Music has always been at the heart of Caroline’s life. She studied at the Crane School of Music, taught violin and piano in upstate New York while raising her five children, and performed with local ensembles including the Chamber Orchestra of Northern New York and Music Theater North. Later, she played with the Hershey Symphony in Pennsylvania and directed the children’s choir at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Newburgh, New York. Today, she continues to sing with the choir and serve as a violin soloist at the Episcopal Church of St. Mary Magdalene and St. Martin.
