Overview:
I have been on stage from the age of 3 and have spent my life learning more and more about music. I participated in a musical every year in high school and even won 1st and 2nd division awards at our Solo and Ensemble Festival. From there I went to a community college to gain some life experience. While there I was part of a paid show choir that acted as an ambassador for the college. After that I completed my music studies at Valley Forge Christian College (now the University of Valley Forge). I have been teaching for nine years now and I have been able to find a way to help my students reach their potential with personalized drills and techniques.
EXPERIENCE
I have 10 years of teaching experience. This includes teaching in home lessons, lessons at music shops, and working with a youth band. The years have shown me things that can really help students achieve their goals. I have received several good reviews and have been referred out in several occasions. It is my job to help you reach your goals and help you become the best musician possible. I have worked with all skill levels, all ages, and gave experience with special needs individuals. I am looking to expand by adding group lessons to my offerings.
METHODS USED
My methods are pretty straight forward. I focus heavily on technique. A good foundation can help a student be their best in each genre. I personalize my lesson plans and drills to accommodate the student's strengths, weaknesses, and over all goal. I will push you to your limits so you can go even further than you thought you could. I also teach you how to be a healthy musician and steer students away from bad techniques that can cause damage or harm them in any way. Ultimately, the students get a say in what music they study.
LESSON STYLE
I am no drill sergeant, but I wont lie to you either. I know when you've practiced and when you haven't. I encourage you and always be honest with you about your progress. I am on your side and want you to succeed. That being said, I have a fairly structured lesson. Starting with a breif warm up, we wilk touch upon a review of the previous lesson, technique drills, and then the music we are currently workung on. I do provide music to challenge and stretch the musicianship of my students, but I allow my students to work on whatever suits their interests.

Will is very good at teaching young children. He is very patient and calm and is a great teacher to kids. He has taught both my son (age 10) and now is teaching my daughter (age 7). I highly recommend Will to parents of young new piano students!
