Our Teachers

Simone Dorsey

Piano, Vocals, Saxophone

Simone grew up in a family of musicians and creatives, where her love for music was nurtured from a young age. She began taking saxophone and piano lessons in her mother's studio at the age of six, which sparked her desire to teach and share her love of music with others.

As a self-proclaimed "lifelong learner," Simone’s passion for mastering new skills has led her to a successful career in the arts, including performing at Hershey Park for several years. Her talents go beyond music—she’s also an accomplished artist, an animal lover, and even knows how to juggle! And with perfect pitch, Simone's musical abilities truly shine.

Simone is dedicated to inspiring her students with the same curiosity, dedication, and passion for learning that has driven her own journey. At Delco Music Co., she brings her wealth of experience and enthusiasm to every lesson, helping students discover their own love for music.

Bill Baraldi

Piano, Guitar, Drums, Ukulele, Bass

Bill's passion for music has been a lifelong journey, beginning when he was just three years old, whistling tunes that caught his ear. By eight, he was taking percussion lessons, and at ten, he received his first drum set—a Christmas gift that set him on the path to becoming a skilled musician. At twelve, Bill expanded his talents by picking up the guitar, learning to play Beatles songs and read music under the guidance of Rich Pacienza at Springfield Music.

Throughout his life, Bill has immersed himself in music, participating in Indoor Drum Line, Jazz Band, and Concert Band at Upper Darby High School, and taking various music classes. His passion led him to study Music Education with a focus on classical guitar at West Chester University, before shifting his focus to Business Management with a minor in Music.

In 2020, Bill turned his love for music into a full-time career by founding Delco Music Co. Over the past five years, he has been teaching guitar, piano, drums, ukulele, and bass, helping students of all ages discover the joy of music. His dedication has earned him awards for best music video, and he’s known for consistently having the fullest roster of students. He also offers support in recording music, making music videos, and music production.

At Delco Music Co., Bill combines his teaching expertise with a comprehensive repair service, ensuring that your instruments are always in top condition. Whether you're a beginner eager to learn or an experienced player looking to enhance your skills, he is here to guide you every step of the way.
