• Bil has impressive credentials in music. He is a very patient and understanding instructor, and yet manages to challenge me during each class. I have learned a tremendous amount about music theory and performance working with Bil, and I truly appreciate his calmness.

  • “Bil has taken me to a different level. I went from tab and basic guitar chords to building jazz chords and a far greater understanding of music theory.”

    -Kamali

  • “Bil’s a fantastic guy to learn from. He’s helped me identify where I want to get to and what steps I’ll need to take to get there. Great musical knowledge of jazz, pop and soul!”

    -Wyatt

  • Bil completely changed my perspective on how learning can happen....Rather than teaching through rote learning and repetition, Bil introduces concepts and invites you to become curious about them, play with them thru improvisation. He emphasizes finding your own unique voice. Now I wouldn't choose to learn any other way.
