Perfect! I had my first lesson with Billy today. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and clearly has the chops I hoped he would to be a good teacher. In just a few minutes I learned several things that had been detrimental to my playing for years. I look forward to our future sessions together and improving my skills as a player!
Perfect! He's a super nice guy and definitely has the chops!

I have had the pleasure to work with Billy for some months. He has helped my son so much to improve his abilities with the bass. Billy is very professional and knowledgeable. My son started taking lessons with Billy to prepare for a bass audition, and he actually was accepted into the concert band of his new school. Billy had a lot to do with this because my son did not know how to read music, and through Billy's teaching and dedication, my son has learned and improved a lot. We are very happy with him and highly recommend him. Billy really prepares the student and has many resources available to learn and develop. We are very grateful to him.
Billy is an excellent bass player with a superior commitment to music and teaching with always innovative methods, highly recommended to quickly improve your level.
If you’re looking for an awesome bass teacher, Billy is the guy! He’s crazy talented and knows the bass inside and out, but what makes him stand out is how easy he makes it to understand and actually get what you’re learning.
Billy really listened to what I was struggling with and came up with a practice routine with exercises that helped me improve fast. He doesn’t just teach you and leave you hanging—he’s super patient, explains things clearly, and makes you feel comfortable no matter where you’re at in your playing.
On top of all that, he’s just a genuinely good guy—warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. Every lesson feels productive but also fun, which keeps me excited to keep practicing. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend Billy enough!About 10 years ago, I was a touring bass player. A day job, Covid, and “life“ happened. I found myself shall we say a little rusty. The last few months I have had a free night off every week. I decided I would do something to better myself and that some thing was taking bass lessons. Billy is an incredible teacher. He has been teaching me to stretch my fingers and how to play scales. As a punk rock bass player I never cared about theory. But now, Billy is helping me learn proper technique. If you are brand new to playing bass, or like a seasoned musician. Billy will help you get in fighting shape.
Billy has been wonderful to work with. He always runs on time, works around my schedule and has gone above and beyond to make sure I am playing with proper technique. I would highly suggest working with Billy if you are looking to improve upon your craft.
If you want to improve faster in your Bass techniques and knowledge in music theory you are in the right place. Billy is an excelent musician with a lot of experience in the field and in the classroom, their methods makes learning a fun and inspirational thing to do.
I took 3 years of music lessons with him, as a musician and band member I can say the progress is wonderful.Billy is an absolutely wonderful bass instructor. The lesson plans he puts together are well thought out. I see the incremental improvements of my technique every week and it only inspires me to want to play more. Thanks Billy!
