"Well thought-out . . . a perfect blend of art, instruction and entertainment. Incorporating a grand piano into the presentation to physically demonstrate your points became wondrous. The moment at Luxury Kitchen and Bath Collection, when attendees are doing a mirroring exercise to a beautiful piece you are playing on the piano, will probably endure as one of the greatest things I have ever seen at a conference, and truly one of the most satisfying moments in my own career." - Paul Treanor, Conference Manager Luxury Kitchen and Bath Collection
"Westney has worked out a direct, experiential approach to seeing, hearing, being more awake. It applies across a wide range of experience. If an organization were looking to enliven a program and excite an audience in a direct and participatory way, it could do no better than bring in William Westney to do his work. He reveals to people that what they already know is deeper and more exciting than what they imagined." - Sean Kernan professional photographer and teacher, Workshops of Santa Fe
"A wonderful lecture – energizing and entertaining. The students were especially impacted by the idea that classical training, whether in the arts or in cooking, is only a springboard to your own creativity and contribution to the field. Thank you for a terrific presentation. It was a wonderful day." - Lucille Pritchard, Associate Dean for Liberal Arts and Management The Culinary Institute of America
"Always original, lucid, and interesting!" - Carola Grindea, President European Piano Teachers Association (U.K.)
