About Me
Hey there. Bailey Cecil here. With two master's degrees from UC Santa Cruz and The Musician's Institute, I've been actively involved in playing, teaching, and loving music from a young age. Regarding the creative process and going through life, I'm heavily inspired by surfing which is another passion of mine. A regular at Scripps/La Jolla Shores and a resident of La Jolla, the waters of the West Coast are both a good friend of mine and an inspiration. In both sectors, I've taught all skill levels from ages as young as 5 and as old as 50. With me, it's just about what is a good fit for the client, and how we can both help each other be successful, happy, and thrive in their passions. One of my mottos in surfing is... you gotta GET UP. I'll help you learn, and I'll help you do it.
