“Learning from Bill has been an inspiring experience. He’s patient and flexible and has the ability to teach and play multiple instruments. Bill clearly loves music and his light-hearted approach makes it fun.”
“He can effectively teach students of all skill levels. His approach is particularly helpful in learning the basics and gaining a solid foundation in technique. He quickly helped me gain the basic skills to productively participate in camps and festivals. He is an excellent and inclusive leader, sensitive to different skill levels, and careful to provide learning opportunities and fun for everyone.”
“Bill was methodical, very patient, and thorough in his instruction. He listened to where each of us wanted to go and helped us to get there, even when our paths diverged.”
“Bill has a passion for not only playing bluegrass in several bands but also for keeping it alive in our community.”
