Testimonials
From my student's parents
We are very glad that Sean stuck with trumpet which helped him to stay connected with the school, the band and the fellow band members. We can't thank you enough for coaching and mentoring him throughput his middle and high school years.

"Mr. Bing is, how should I say it...perhaps, "the godfather of trumpet teachers" in the Pasadena/San Gabriel Valley area. My son, age 16 has been taking trumpet lessons with Mr. Bing for over 5 years. He is the most devoted, caring and passionate educator we've ever met! (both my wife and I had grew up playing music). He has an easy and genuine way of connecting with kids. He challenges his students to improve technically and musically; at the same time, he makes lessons and music playing fun! I think that's so vital to kids learning music. Over the years, Mr. Bing has become not just a trumpet teacher, but a mentor to my son. I highly recommend Mr. Bing as a trumpet teacher! We think the world of him."

From a former CSUN student
Thanks so much Bill! I enjoyed our time working together at CSUN. You taught me a great deal of technique and discipline. You also helped me learn some very important life lessons and for that I thank you. I use everything you taught me to guide me in my own job as I work to connect my middle and elementary school band students to music.

From a former member of the Caltech Band
You and Band are one of the biggest reason we want to live in Pasadena. I appreciate you letting us in the band and be nice to my children. In fact, I got moments I do not want to play any more, because I could not play as much as others. But such a good people brings me back to practice and play.
