Opera singer, performer, and educator with two music degrees from Missouri Southern State University including a degree in Vocal Performance. Baylee began performing professionally at age 9 and spent her childhood traveling and performing across the country — bringing 17+ years of real stage experience into every lesson. Her goal isn't just to teach music; it's to help students become confident, well-rounded musicians who learn to embrace who they are.

First Class — August 15
Saturday, August 15, 2026 at 11:30 AM. We'll send a reminder with everything you need before class.
Ages 6 Months – 4 Years
Sing, move, and make music together. Designed for little ones from 6 months to 4 years old, with a parent or caregiver participating alongside them.
$40 per child
Bringing more than one little one? Every additional child is 20% off — just $32 each, applied automatically at checkout.
Why these early years matter
Your little one's brain is growing faster right now than it ever will again — and making music together is one of the most joyful ways to help it flourish.
They connect sooner. Babies who take interactive music classes alongside a caregiver communicate earlier, smile more, and are easier to comfort when they're upset.
Little brains blossom. Making music together strengthens the very pathways that build language, listening, and early reading skills.
Your bond grows deeper. Singing and moving side by side builds trust, confidence, and a sense of security that lasts long after class ends.
Confidence takes root. In a warm, playful setting, little ones learn to explore, take turns, and shine — social confidence that carries into everything they do.
Findings from McMaster University's infant music research (Gerry, Unrau & Trainor) and the USC Brain & Creativity Institute.
Most of all, it's simply a joyful hour together — the two of you, making music. We'd love for you to join us.
You're all set! 🎶

Baylee Scribner
Hi! I'm Baylee Scribner, a musician, educator, and the proud owner of Baylee's Music Academy. I hold two Bachelor's Degrees in Music — one in Music Industry/Engineering and one in Vocal Performance — along with advanced studies in ensemble performance, piano, stage performance, music business, and vocal pedagogy.
"Music has been my entire life."
I began performing professionally at the age of 9 and spent much of my childhood traveling and performing across the country. My goal has never been to simply teach students how to sing or play. My goal is to help students become confident, well-rounded musicians while learning to embrace who they are.
