"Bill Dixon is a truly fantastic instructor who is always willing to give tips and provide the best feedback possible."

"For more than four decades, I’ve had the honor of sharing a stand with Bill Dixon. In that time, I’ve watched him bring extraordinary musicianship to every band he plays with. Whether on trumpet or trombone, Bill’s sound, precision, and musical instincts elevate the entire ensemble.

But what I value most is the kind of person Bill is. He’s the first to offer help, the first to encourage someone who’s struggling, and the first to celebrate others’ successes. He’s taught me more than he realizes, simply by being the steady, positive presence he is.

Bill isn’t just a great musician. He’s the kind of person who makes everyone around him better."

"Bill is a great player, arranger, teacher, and is professional in all aspects of his music career. "

"Bill is a kind, easy-going yet professional teacher and instructor. My son learned valuable skills and lessons with Bill as his teacher."

"Bill Dixon was the first private lesson teacher I had when I began playing the trumpet. He was able to teach and reinforce the foundational skills of trumpet playing, strengthening my playing overall. I have since gone on to teach the highest level band in Centerville High School, a marching band solo my senior year, and now play in college-level bands at Miami University. Thank you Bill for being such a helpful instructor."

"Bill Dixon is an incredible musician and teacher as well as arranger! I recommend him fully. "
