Instruments: Flute Piccolo

Hello, my name is Bailee Thompson and I am a passionate individual who absolutely loves music and loves to share that with others. In 2025, I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Bachelor of Music degree in Flute Performance. While I was there, I’ve had the opportunity of performing in every large ensemble and the orchestra as well. Currently, I am pursuing my Masters of Music in Flute Performance at the University of Northern Colorado. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Synthesizer Ukulele Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I work closely with students, parents and other teachers to ensure that each lesson is tailored to meet specific needs of the student. I understand that everyone has different learning capabilities and finding all of the different ways to teach my students is part of the fun in teaching. Everyone learns at their own pace and with so many more genres of music than ever before, people are developing different tastes in music as well. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I like to focus on songs that students are interested in. I also recommend certain books to be used as supplementary learning. For children guitarists I recommend Alfred's Kid's Guitar Course. For older guitarists I recommend Hal Leonard's Guitar Method. For children pianists I recommend Faber Piano Adventures. Read More

Instruments: Piano Drums

It is important to install a sense of confidence and feeling of progression when teaching, so I make sure to acknowledge every student's progress along with the desired improvements. Everyone can improve at every skill level, so I believe it is important to let the student know the amount of progress they've achieved from hard work. Belittling is not something I believe is an effective method of having someone fall in love with anything, especially not music. Read More

Instruments: Voice Fiddle Music

The technique varies slightly style to style, so it's important for there to be good student-teacher communication! I like to begin each voice lesson with a music theory and ear training review, as it can be difficult for those with a vocal emphasis to learn to read (I know, I've been there!). It's important to have a good grasp on the mechanics of the music, because it'll open so many doors for the student, no matter what area they're focusing on! Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

During both my doctoral and masters degrees, I worked as a Teaching Assistant in the flute studio. Along with teaching private lessons to undergraduate students, I have experience leading studio classes/group lessons, technique/scale classes, and I designed a semester-long class titled, Teaching Technique through Repertoire, which I later presented as part of a pedagogy project. In Texas, I had the opportunity to provide lessons at a middle school through the Lubbock Independent School District, where I taught both individual and group lessons. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I was my own first student. I began teaching myself how to play the piano over 10 years ago. Throughout this process I learned how to approach some typically confusing topics in much more digestible ways. A benefit to starting out as a self taught musician is that I had to learn how to make sense of things myself rather than memorizing information that a teacher fed me. A main focus of mine as a teacher is encouraging regular practice routines where the student can solidify the information we discuss in our lessons as well as uncover new questions they may have about the subject.
