How much do lessons cost?
$35 for a 30-minute private lesson, once a week — the same price for every instrument.
Is there a trial lesson?
Instead of a trial lesson there's a free intro visit: a conversation at the studio about what you'd like to play, advice on choosing an instrument, and a chance to meet Bill.
How old do students need to be?
Children can start from age four, and adults can start at any age. Bill's students range from four to seventy.
What instruments can I learn?
Acoustic, electric and bass guitar, piano and keyboards (including synthesizer), mandolin, banjo, ukulele, and songwriting.
Do I need my own instrument before I start?
Not yet. Come to the free intro visit first: Bill will help you choose the right instrument and tell you where to buy it, locally or online.
How do I book?
Call or text the studio, or send an email, and ask for a free intro visit.
What styles does Bill teach?
Classical, jazz, blues, folk, rock of every kind, metal and '90s alternative.
How long is a lesson?
Thirty minutes, once a week, in person at the studio.
Where is the studio, and is there parking?
620 Woodbrook Drive, Charlottesville, VA 22901. There is a private parking lot.
When is the studio open?
Tuesday through Sunday; the studio is closed on Mondays. The full hours are on the contact page.
