FOLLOWING his dad as a GREAT ARTIST in the OPERA world

He is a talented instructor who brings with him a broad variety of musical repertoire.

Mr. Bailey is a fantastic teacher. He has so much musical knowledge to give and he is excellent at explaining and teaching that knowledge to his students. He is continually supportive and he believes in his students. He works well with any experience level. He helps his students not only become better musicians, but better people. He truly goes above and beyond his requirements as a music teacher. It was truly a blessing to have him as a teacher and mentor.

Im very grateful for this opportunity to tell you about Lee - my friend and vocal coach. I met Lee at our mutual church gig and he quickly became my friend. We shared stories of our personal lives and goals. As I learned more about him and his musical background, I realized that he would  be an ideal vocal coach for me. I am an older singer who studied vocal performance at university 50 years ago and was expected to perform solos at this churchs services. I have always considered myself to be a chorister, not a soloist, so I needed a coach to help me. Once I started working with Lee, I began to hear a new  sound - one that could, with his help, perform solos with a new confidence. My voice started feeling limber and strong, while being able to support softer passages with ease. Lees studio techniques made me feel comfortable enough to try new things with my voice while regaining strength and fluidity. I cannot say enough about Lee - he is a consummate professional whether he is performing or in his studio with voice and instrumental students of all ages and walks of life. I consider myself lucky to have him as a vocal coach and a dear friend.

I have worked with Lee for about one year. I knew him from church choir where he often gave me pointers and advice. I really needed his help when I was preparing a virtual piece for our choir. I had rehearsed it on my own but was not happy with the way I sounded, so I contacted Lee and started taking lessons--he even assisted in recording the piece for submission! Since then, I have been working with him almost weekly for the past year, slowly improving my voice, projection, and sound and teaching me how to sing certain words correctly. We always do a warm up before getting into a lesson and hes been extremely helpful in selecting pop songs from musicals that fit my voice. I highly recommend him as a teacher!!

Lee was my voice teacher from middle school until I graduated high school in 2017. Under his tutelage, I received weekly lessons that enhanced my vocal abilities that allowed me to sing challenging repertoire, and his training prepares me fully for becoming a vocal music major at the University of Southern Mississippi. Lee was not only knowledgeable about voice studies, but he supported me emotionally during transformative years of my late childhood. I will always appreciate and look back fondly of the days that he invested in me as a person and saw me as more than a kid that loved to sing.
