    "Billy gave me a 2 hour lesson over the summer. Although 2 hours sounds fairly long for a lesson, it felt shorter than any 1 hour lesson I've had elsewhere. In those 2 hours I told him what I was interested in working on and he gave me more than enough material to work on for the rest of the year, and some stuff I could work on for the rest of my life. This material covered a wide range of areas too: good technique, composition, theory, improvisation, etc. In short, I learned a lot from him in a short amount of time for a very reasonable price. He is a great teacher, an incredible musician and a great human being and I'd recommend him to any serious musician out there. "
