Overall a great instructor. One day he wasn’t here and we had a substitute, which made us realize how great a teacher he was. We missed his organization, understanding, and patience...

Very knowledgeable about music. Does a good job getting that across to the class. Good teacher and communicator; easy to talk to.

Dr. Bill takes enough time to improve students’ understanding.

Very personable, understanding, knowledgeable, and communicative.

Dr. Whipple was very thorough with his teaching and offered numerous ways to practice a specific skill.

Thanks for bringing my interest in piano back Dr. Bill!

Dr. Whipple is my favorite professor. He's an amazing teacher.

Thank you for once again proving that the music department [Fresno City College] has the best, most interesting teachers. Beyond this class I will continue learning and playing. Thank you!

I love the way Dr. Whipple pays special attention to each student so we all learn at our own pace. He was fantastic!

I would retake the class if I could. He was a great instructor.

I could tell he was very passionate about piano, it showed through his teaching.

His class really helped me to understand and fully realize all the concepts behind music theory.

Learning with Dr. Whipple is so much fun, he makes a difficult course fun!

Thank you for your patience and encouraging belief. I’ve truly enjoyed this class.

He teaches very well and encourages you to do better.

The lectures are well taught. This class is great and he is friendly and helpful…

Thanks for an awesome semester! It has been a very enjoyable class, and you are a great teacher!

I enjoyed how Dr. Whipple helped me grow as a musician and his teaching really helped me to apply music theory to what I'm playing...

I would recommend this instructor to other students because of his dedication to student interaction…

Excellent pianist that knew how to bring it down to our level. He has good “tricks” that help us remember the material.

Thanks for teaching me something I’ve always wanted to learn! I appreciate your patience, as I know the class does! Best piano teacher ever!
