HIGHLY RECOMMEND BILL FOR COLLEGE GUIDANCE. We have two musician sons: our older son is a jazz and classical trombone player who graduated high school in 2023 and our younger son is a jazz saxophone player and choral singer who is graduating in 2024. We started working with Bill to help our older son during the spring of his junior year. At that time, we knew very little about the different music schools and the music school application process generally. Bill was amazing at “white-boarding” the entire process for us, reviewing our son’s qualifications and preparing a plan for him beginning that spring and continuing all the way through the submission of his applications and completion of his auditions. With our younger son, even though we had just been through the process the prior year, Bill was great at setting up a plan based on his specific skills and goals to take him through his own process.Bill introduced both of our sons to faculty at several music schools and university music programs during the spring and summer prior to their senior years. During this time, the boys met either in person or on zoom with these faculty members to learn more about their programs and take lessons. Both boys improved dramatically during the six months prior to submitting screening materials and also had the opportunity to develop relationships with these professors. Our sons got auditions at almost every school they applied to including USC, Michigan, UCLA, NYU and Carnegie Melon. We cannot recommend Bill any more highly for anyone applying to a music school or high-end music program at a traditional university. He is extremely knowledgeable about the process and the various nuances of the different programs at these colleges, and is immensely qualified musically to evaluate students to help them determine the right fit based on their skills and preferences. Bill is organized, thoughtful, and insightful about what makes sense for students both personally and musically. Our boys truly enjoyed their time with Bill, and as parents, it was a pleasure to have Bill working with our sons.
