William has been exceptional as a teacher for my daughter for about 5 years now. My daughter started lessons at age 9 with a smaller guitar recommended by William and as she grew, he made recommendations on both electric and acoustic guitars.
His understanding of her goals with music and personalizing a plan to help her attain those goals makes William invaluable.
Many programs are geared for teaching the student to play a song quickly which leads to boredom; the building blocks that William has set up provides the student with skills that will keep her engaged in this choice. If you are a parent and you want the best for your child, choose a teacher that has credibility, and the student’s best interest in mind. Choose William like we did.

I’ve taken lessons from William for several years. He helped me choose several of my guitars and worked with me on my acoustic, classical and electric guitars. His knowledge is extensive as guitars are his life. I’ve had other guitar instructors who teach to make money, or on the side. William on the other hand, teaches because he lives guitar, it’s his passion.
William is exceptional with many of the technical aspects that improved my playing efficiency and increased my safety on the guitar. You might ask, “What do I mean by safety?” He taught me how to hold my guitar and reinforces playing it in a manner that reduces the potential for injuries and allows me to play for longer periods of time without getting tired. That’s very important if you love the guitar!
No matter what style of playing I’m interested in, William has been excellent in showing me how to achieve the sound I’m looking for. If I want to play a particular song and he doesn’t know it, all I have to do is play it on I-Tunes for him. He immediately shows me how to play the song, or adapt it to my level so that I can.
William is a patient and enthusiastic teacher that encourages and challenges me to continue to improve. That’s why I continue to take lessons from him and recommend him to anyone who is serious about learning to play.
