(she/her) Originally from South Dakota, Bailey has been teaching trumpet since 2016. Her passion as a performer is contemporary music, but she has also worked as a substitute musician with orchestras across the country including Symphoria, the Chautauqua Symphony, the Eugene Symphony, and the Portland Columbia Symphony. In addition to her work as a performer, Bailey has taught music theory with the Portland Youth Philharmonic and at Portland
State University (as well as at the Eastman School of Music as a graduate instructor) and is a licensed Body Mapping Educator. Through Body Mapping, she works with musicians to connect movement and sound to improve technique, give freer and more embodied performances, and prevent injury.
Bailey brings her eclectic background in performance, music theory, and Body Mapping together in her trumpet teaching. She aims to provide students with the tools they need to become their own teacher; to encourage them them to discover and feel confident in their own expressive voices; and help them build the skills, knowledge, and enjoyment for lifelong engagement with music. Students of all ages and ability levels are welcome. Bailey holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the Eastman School of Music, a Master of Music from Portland State University, and a Bachelor of Music from the Eastman School of Music.
