Testimonials

Willis is an awesome teacher!  He works with me on my schedule and at my pace.  He has an open lesson format that allows you to question what you're learning and why.  Willis also is fun and inspiring to work with, it's been a total pleasure to work with him.  And now I'm blowing bass!

My name is Steve, and I am a musician and audio engineer living in Nashville, TN.  I grew up in Kalamazoo and started playing guitar as a teenager around the same time I started attending Threads Church.  I quickly realized my gift of music, but I also realized my need to nurture and grow that gift.  Willis was the first teacher I had, and he set an outstanding example of musicianship and passion for me to follow.  I have met very few people with such a desire to see a student succeed. I am fortunate enough to be following my dream, and without the help of Willis it would never have been possible.
