Bailey Clemmons (Lady Bailey) was born & raised in Durham, NC. She is a passionate and motivated music educator who loves working with students and sharing her love of music. An active performer of the instruments viola, piano & violin, the sobriquet ‘Lady’ is employed to denote how Bailey carries herself in word & deed! For some, music is just a way to exude a modicum of energy, but for Lady Bailey it’s so much more than that– it’s a way of life.
