Success stories:

Matt Lamy

I have been studying with Bill for about 9 months. Prior to that I had taken lessons from many other teachers and had given up at several points over a 15-year period.

During the time studying with Bill I’ve succeeded in playing several live situations including a wedding and a show at a restaurant. I’ve gotten many compliments on my playing and have begun to work with 2 singers as an accompanist.

I really feel great about my playing and thanks to Bill I feel that I have not only improved by 300%, but I am really back on the road to being the kind of player I’ve always wanted to be.

Thank you,
Matt Lamy

Since studying with Bill, I’ve been performing and interacting with Symphony Orchestras, bands, and played piano on stage with a different “attitude” altogether. I don’t have that inner panic or misunderstood word phenomena (dull head, overwhelm, feeling intimated by other musicians, etc.).

In fact, I’d stopped listening to music altogether because of those mis-emotions.

Now I am relishing my favorite artists and being moved by them all over again! I feel I can contribute confidently toward discussions about music.

This is great!

Thanks.
Love, Kate

I have been studying with Bill for 3-4 years now and it has been the best thing that has happened to me while I have been involved with music. His teaching methods are exquisite and I am simply fascinated every time he teaches me something I’ve been dying to learn.

I remember when I first started studying with Bill; I always questioned his methods because I didn’t understand why it would help me in the long run.

Now I am totally aware of why he taught me everything the way he did. Because of him, I have learned improvisational skills with the piano. He even got me a gig when I was only 13 years old. He has also been helping me when I choose to experiment with alternate instruments. He even gives me great advice when I have to record a new blues song with my dad and his friend who plays guitar.

I have learned tons from you Bill, and I hope to learn much more.

Many thanks,
Ian Irwin
