Available to hire
Hi, I’m Hailey McGann—a versatile composer, conductor, and musician currently pursuing a Masters in Screen Scoring at NYU. I thrive in collaborative settings, from marching arts education and flute instruction to pit orchestras and classical conducting. I love leading ensembles, composing original scores for premieres and commissions, and exploring arranging and orchestration to bring musical stories to life.
Beyond performance, I mentor students in classical, jazz, and salsa contexts, and I’m eager to learn, grow, and contribute on every task. My goal is to create engaging music for film, theatre, and live performance while inspiring others along the way.
