Carole Nichols has a passion for choral music, and a desire to see that passion grow in the hearts of
the singers whom she directs. From 2000-2009, she taught General Music and Choir to elementary
and intermediate students in Keller ISD. One of her goals as director is for every singer to feel
successful and become more self-confident as they learn. In addition to the Lone Star Children's
Choir, Mrs. Nichols teaches voice and piano lessons in her private studio, is involved in music
ensembles at her church, and teaches music classes to home school students in the area. She earned
her Bachelor of Music Education degree with a Vocal and Piano emphasis from Baylor University.
