How can music and the arts strengthen the fruits of learning gained through Classical education? Music historian and curriculum writer Dr. Carol Reynolds explores the power of the Fine Arts to develop young minds by nourishing orderly thought, deepening curiosity, and establishing a thirst for beauty. Like the legacy of fairy tales and the formative patterns of liturgy, the tradition of Western Fine Arts helps students, teachers, and Classical schools to reach the goal of restoring a right culture.

Carol Reynolds is a musicologist specializing in Russian, East European, and German cultural history (Ph.D, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). In addition to her career as a professor of music history at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, she is a frequent lecturer for many arts organizations and works extensively as a Smithsonian Journeys Expert in Western and Eastern Europe. A proponent of teaching history through the lens of the Fine Arts, Reynolds has brought her wealth of knowledge to creating curriculum under the banner of “Professor Carol.” She has worked closely with Memoria Press, Classical Academic Press, the Circe Institute. She also develops Fine Arts curriculum for Memoria Press and teaches courses for the Great Books Masters’ Program at Memoria College and for Memoria Academy.
