"Ray is an amazing teacher. He was able to positively engage our daughter and teach her while having a lot of fun. She really loved attending his lessons, and by the end of the year her piano skills remarkably improved. Ray is very detailed and accurate in annotating exercises, progress and gaps at the end of every lesson and this is a great way for parents to keep track of their child's learning. We truly loved having him as a piano teacher. "

Ray is passionate about teaching! I really appreciated how he tailored piano and voice lessons to my kids' specific interests and needs. He is extremely patient during lessons and provides thoughtful feedback after each session to help students improve. Highly recommend him!"

Ray is an exemplary piano instructor who possesses a kind, patient, encouraging and gentle manner.

He incorporates his professionalism, extensive knowledge of music, and talent into enjoyable, well-paced lessons which are effortlessly adapted to suit individual learner’s needs and goals.

Since early childhood, I dreamt of playing the piano. As a person who is legally blind, I was told that this would never be possible. Now, many decades later, because of Ray’s student-centered approach, I was able to play a simple version of a popular composition, in a matter of a few months!

It is never too late to achieve and experience personal musical expression! With Ray, there are no “errors”, simply repeated attempts towards success! There are no limits to future possibilities!

I am so lucky to have Ray as my voice coach, I admire him and his ability to pay special attention to each individual voice. He cares about his students and guides us to what we want to achieve.

Ray Billiald is an amazing, competent and patient teacher. His experience in vocals, piano, and even the anatomy of the mouth/tongue to help his students visualize proper mouth technique and posture really helps accelerate learning.

His approach to it is fun, and will change it up to match your style. No regrets, thanks Ray!

Raymond is a great teacher for piano and vocals. He focuses on all the right aspects of learning music and really helped me improve. I learn a lot in his classes and I really enjoy taking lessons. He takes time to make sure you know what you are doing before moving forward to other things.
