BIO

Hi, I'm Carrie Bailey and welcome to my Riverside South Studio.

I have been teaching Music for Young Children since 2002 and enjoying every minute of it!

I'm a Saskatchewan girl, and proud of it, born into a musical family, growing up singing in the church, at various functions and with my family as I played the piano and my dad played the guitar beside me. There has always been something that has drawn me to it, leading me to pursue music after graduation and seeing me receive 2 music degrees. I had started teaching private voice and piano lessons when I was still in high school and during college I took a bit of a break from teaching. But soon after graduation I went back and started teaching again.  Once I discovered this program I had a lot of fun teaching it and when I saw how much the kids and parents enjoyed it I knew that this is what I wanted to teach.

I've done double duty in this program - being both parent and teacher, which allows me to teach this program from a unique perspective.  My three children have all graduated from Moonbeams 3 and are continuing private piano lessons.  It is really neat to be able to see my own children's eyes light up as they understand a new concept or can master a new technique.  My oldest daughter, Emma, has followed in her mom's footsteps and teaches in my studio with me.

My musical background includes 9 years as a Private Piano/Voice Instructor (previous to starting teaching MYC in 2002), Grade 9 RCM in Piano, 3 years Children's Musical Director, MYC Certified, BA in Music, BA in Worship Ministry, as well as Assistant Director of my College Choir and some Orchestral conducting.  And, of course, teaching Music for Young Children since 2002!
