My son has taken saxophone lessons from this gifted instructor. Not only does Mr. Billington do an excellent job teaching, he does it in a way that inspires his students. I highly recommend!

John was my son’s alto sax instructor for many years. Even with my son at 25 I can still hear him now playing inside. John’s methods are highly tailored to what it takes to get to NC state level competition and he has a long list of students who have excelled over the past 20 years. He is also a man of integrity and very reasonable to deal with. Highly recommended.
