Carrie Campbell studied Music Education and Music Therapy at the University of Georgia where she received her Bachelor of Music, and later at Yale University where she received her Masters in Horn Performance, studying with Paul Ingraham. For many years Carrie has been both a teacher and advocate of community arts education through her work at the Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA). She taught private and group classes in horn, music theory, ear training, and music history, as well as coordinated many of the school’s programs.  In July 2014 Carrie was named Music School Director at CSMA where she oversaw all aspects of the school including private lessons, music classes, Music4Schools, Corporate Arts Program, and CSMA’s Tateuchi Hall. Combined these programs serve over 15,000 students per year.

In addition to her work in community arts programs, Carrie taught musicianship at the San Francisco Conservatory Pre-College and serves as a member of the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) College of Examiners. She also serves as an RCM US Representative, guiding teachers and schools in the RCM curriculum as well as giving presentations throughout the US.

As a horn player, Carrie has played with many of the Bay Area’s regional orchestras and theaters; including Oakland Symphony, Monterey Symphony, West Bay Opera, and Broadway by the Bay.
