Carrie Epstein

(she/her)

INSTRUCTOR

Carrie is a Boston-based musician and educator originally from Colchester, CT, dedicated to students in both music and health sciences. Carrie earned her B.S. in Physiology and Neurobiology from the University of Connecticut and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Music Theory at Boston University, while preparing to pursue medical school. Her academic work explores the intersection of music, neurobiology, and public health. Growing up, she was nicknamed by loved ones as the “soon-to-be, singing doctor,” reflecting her dedication to these fields.

Carrie fell in love with music at an early age, finding comfort and passion in music-making and musical theatre. She studied for several years with Nancy Andersen at the Hartt School of Music, focusing technique on classical and musical theatre.

As a performer, Carrie is active throughout New England regularly with multiple ensembles, appearing at venues and events across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. In addition to performing, she takes on managerial roles for emerging artists to guide booking, branding, and PR development. Carrie continues to pursue new creative avenues, including composition and songwriting, with a passion for bringing these creative influences into lessons.

She is excited to join Go Go Allegro’s community and looks forward to meeting and working with students and their families!
