More words from parents

Read what parents have said about their child’s experience with Music School Central.

After getting started with our son’s music college application process we quickly realized it was going to be an overwhelming task. Maneuvering through each school’s website required professional help. Not all college application consultants are the same and we were fortunate to have found Bill’s services. He specializes in helping music students apply to top music schools across the country.

He was very organized and had a timeline of tasks that needed to be completed before final submissions. Even when it became stressful Bill was calm and reassuring. We followed his plan and after all the prescreen recordings, applications, essays, practice interviewing and letters of recommendation were completed, we were rewarded with our son being accepted to multiple top music schools, including his first choice.
Matt F.
Parent of a jazz musician
After much research, my husband and I reached out to Bill to help our daughter with the audition process to Conservatory. Bill worked with our daughter when she was a junior in high school. He was very accommodating. Bill was extremely thorough in his assessment of our daughter, he listened to her needs and gave us excellent advice.

He even provided mock interview sessions to prepare our daughter for the next steps in the process.

With that said, our daughter ended up at her first choice school…which I would never have thought was an option. She is now finishing her second year and is extremely happy with her choice. Bill’s hard work made all the difference.
Kathleen P.
Parent of a singer
Bill helped my son get into his dream school, far exceeding our expectations. The scholarship alone exceeded all the service fees that I paid Bill. So basically, Bill’s fee was free and my son got into a great school.

During the process of working together, Bill not only consulted well, but also took on the role of an enthusiastic educator. He helped my son become a better musician, improve his interview skills, and obtain higher self-esteem.

As for me, Bill changed my mindset from choosing the “shiniest” school name, to choosing the right school and teacher fitting my son.
Ralph L.
Parent of a classical musician
My husband and I discovered Bill, a college consultant with a wealth of knowledge about the rigorous and lengthy application process music students go through, just in time.

He quickly jumped in and helped us through every step of the process, including assessment of our son’s skill level, input on pre-screen recordings, music resume, repertoire list, etc.

Bringing Bill on board was an essential part of our son’s success. He was accepted by his top choice school, with scholarship. Working with Bill was invaluable and we’re thankful for his help.
