About
Miss Budlong

Miss Budlong is a proud Parkland School District alumna. She went on to earn an undergraduate degree in Music Education from Temple University with a concentration in classical double bass. She has been playing upright bass since she was eight and picked up the electric at age eleven. She is a well-rounded instrumentalist credited to having surrounded herself with all genres of music ranging from classical to hard rock. She studied classical double bass under Domenick Fiore for eleven years in her hometown and under Anne Peterson in Philadelphia for all four years of college. She also studies electric bass under Michelle Marie Osbourne of SIX the Musical on Broadway. Miss Budlong is an active performer in the worlds of musical theater pit orchestras and symphony orchestras all around the tri-state area.

Having watched her mother teach voice throughout her entire upbringing she has always had a strong appreciation for the world of music education. She has been on track to becoming a music educator ever since she first started making music with others. As a natural leader and friend, she always found purpose in helping others achieve greatness in whatever ways she could. Miss Budlong possesses a specific love for unlocking the passion for music in students and modernizing the orchestral student experience. She is immensely grateful for the opportunity to return to the Parkland community and create joyful musical experiences for those now in the seats she once sat in years ago.
