Let Me Teach You a Lesson
Beginner, intermediate, and advanced level lessons are available for keyboard, guitar, and electric bass for middle and high schoolers and adults. I teach music theory as well.
Whether your desire is for purely personal enjoyment and enrichment or to be able to more effectively play in a performance context, I would be honored to work with you.
​
I teach online with Zoom. Reasonable rates. Slots available for 30, 45, or 60 minutes on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or ad-hoc basis.

"(Bil) is filled with a large amount of knowledge, so when sitting under him, you not only learn about how to play but learn music history and theory. Beyond being a good teacher, he is genuine and friendly and cares about others."
Rebecca
"Bil makes learning fun! He met me right where I was and helped me to take my vague knowledge of music theory to the next level. His deep understanding of music is complemented by his contagious enthusiasm."
Cristina

Theresa
"My whole life I wanted to write music, Bil gives me the understanding to be able to do so when I had a very little practical experience. It has been a great experience!"
Robert
"Bil is not just a wonderful pianist, but he helps me think about how music is constructed... how moods can be evoked through various musical modes... (H)e teaches me not only how to play music but how to conceptualize music ... (A) true teacher of music and life."
Sarah
"I absolutely love learning from Bil! Bil is the perfect teacher for me because he can hear and see what you need to get to the next level. I’ve watched my playing and the playing of others at church vastly improve as a result of his training."
Shanti K.
"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".
Diane
"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."
