Billy is an amazing Vocal teacher and is the COMPLETE package! In today’s world, you need to be more than a one trick pony. It’s not enough to be a great singer; you need to connect with your audience. In order to do so, you need to develop other skills to get you there. My daughter Samantha has taken lessons in other studios and has learned some valuable skills. However, my biggest concern was that she was not getting the opportunity to hone in on other skills that go hand in hand with be a singer; such as microphone technique and performance skills. Billy is amazing at analyzing the exact needs of his students. He has a great personality which makes it easy for his students to feel comfortable with him; in turn that builds the desire for them to want to learn. When you take lessons with Billy, you are not just singing the same song week after week with a back-track or doing a sing along with a piano. He offers so much more. He teaches his students how to relate to a song in their terms (age appropriately) which builds a passion for the student from within (sing with meaning from the heart). He teaches students how to develop their range and has each student learn to sing all forms of music. In a short period of time, my daughter has had a complete transformation. She has developed her range, learned how to deliver a song in a more powerful way (breaking down a song from start to finish & when to emphasize the high points & when not to) has developed microphone technique and has become an amazing performer. All of these skills have contributed to a significant improvement in her self-confidence! Billy’s experience as a singer, actor, dancer & performer (in many different types of venues) makes him the complete package. The combination of these skills are truly not something that is offered in any studio that we have attended or considered going to.

Thanks Sherri, I believe as a teacher it is important to be able to find that inner star in each of my students. Working with a student as talented as Sam is always an enjoyable experience. She is only going up from here!!!

I was a bit apprehensive about signing my 4 year old daughter up for vocal lessons because of her age. I went to a few people to see what they could offer and to hear my daughters voice. I was not impressed. Then I called Billy and he invited me over with my daughter to meet him. It was a fabulous first impression which was 8 months ago! My daughter Myrissa, now 5, has blossomed in both her appreciation for song as well as her voice! My husband and I are truly impressed and very appreciative of just how heat Billy is with our daughter. We highly recommended New Haven Academy of Performing Arts!! We would also advise to start as young as they are interested because she has truly become a beautiful little singer and we can't wait for what's to come!

I am a dancer/aerialist who was been learning to sing for years. Billy was one of the absolute best vocal coaches I ever worked with. His extreme patience and no judgement made me feel completely at ease. Billy just has the nack for teaching and his inventive analogies made learning so understandable and fun.
