Past Student Reviews:

 "Mr. Billy is the bomb. So talented, so exquisitely funny. He was a true pleasure to be around; I learned a lot from him.”

"Knowledgeable, caring, [Billy] made the class an extension of his aesthetics. It was a beautiful experience, and above all, he can truly teach. I feel I learned from the class because he broke down the material into pieces that made sense."

"Billy was a great hands on, and encouraging and thoughtful teacher. I very much appreciated his suggestions to help with my very shaky first time efforts.”
