Hey there!
Hi! I'm Bailey, and I'm so glad you want to get to know me.
I am a small town singer and educator who is building a big city career!
What inspires me to keep dreaming and doing: music by historically underrepresented composers, my family, children, anything that is done with commitment, love and care, and days off :)
Throughout my life I have been a student and teacher of many different disciplines. My education and experience run deep and wide. In 2010 I earned a bachelor’s degree in Music Education from the University of Northern Colorado, and since then I have formally studied classical, jazz and musical theater vocal technique and pedagogy. For the last decade, I have designed and implemented vocal music education and music business programs in public schools, colleges, and non-profit organizations across Colorado, helping hundreds of students of all ages step into their power as legitimate musical artists. Ten years ago, I decided I was done feeling hopelessly stuck in a job that drained me and left me so dried up that I had nothing left to give to my singing career. I decided to take action and align my life with my passions and curiosities, and since then I have immersed myself in my own music businesses. In 2025 I graduated from the University of New Mexico with a Master's degree in Vocal Performance and a minor in Arts Leadership and Business. I currently teach voice lessons on the Music faculty at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado, as well as my own private students from all over the Grand Valley.
I am here to show the world that the arts are a powerful and vital part of the human experience, and that we all need to engage our creative gifts to be happy, healthy, and make a contribution to our community.
Teaching and singing are my gifts, and I feel extremely blessed to be living a life dedicated to these two things. I believe that if more people had the courage to create and share their artistic gifts it would cause a Neo-Renaissance, and our collective mind would explode with innovative solutions to all of the problems we are currently facing. The world CRAVES the authenticity and unique offerings that each and every one of us has to give, and I work to draw that out of people and encourage them to share through my own singing and teaching.
Testimonials
"Bailey has opened up a whole new realm of singing. I was not aware that I had half of the capability that I am starting to realize I have through our lessons."
- Amiah
"Recording vocals is usually a point of stress for me for many reasons, but having a plan for rest allowed me to focus on the work instead of worrying about my sound or stamina. It turned out to be my favorite, most efficient vocal session so far..
Thank you again for making the most stressful part of my creative process tolerable! It really means a lot to be working on my voice for real, and with a great teacher at that."
