Hi! My name is Willa, and I've been teaching music for twelve years! I began learning piano at age four, and it became a deeper and deeper passion as the years passed. I dedicated myself to my craft and went on to become a Perry & Walters Music Foundation Scholar, attending Harding University and graduating Cum Laude with my BA in Music (emphasis in piano). I taught for a time in Searcy, (privately, and with the Searcy Community School of Music) and started a weekly music therapy program at a school for kids with mental and physical disabilities (The Sunshine School).

I've been teaching private lessons in music since I was in high school and have always enjoyed sharing and mentoring younger students and professionals whenever my guidance or council has been sought. I've crossed pollinated my teaching methods over the years with my experiences working in a variety of environments from Universities, Opera Houses, Concert Venues, Theatres, and dojos. I like to emphasize the consistency of practice and finding the enjoyment in each session of practice and play. Read More

I have been passionate guiding students across various musical genres, including classical and contemporary, and languages such as English, German, Italian, French, and more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
It's important to me to cater my teaching style to each student. Not all students learn the same way so its not a one size fits all. Some of my students need more pressure and more practice and want to have more material and others like a more laid back approach. I will spend the first 1-3 lessons to figuring out what your preferred learning method is, what the problem areas are, and what kind of books, tools, and games I should prepare for the rest of our classes.

Instruments: Piano
I have also had the opportunity to work with American Bach Soloists director Jeffrey Thomas who conducted the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra in conjunction with the University chorus where I played both piano and celesta parts. It was a frightening and exhilarating experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. As a soloist, I have performed several piano works of many of the great classical composers ranging from Beethoven piano sonatas, Bach prelude and fugues to Chopin nocturnes, Brahms intermezzos, and many, many others.

Instruments: Piano Flute
For young students, we'll start our first few lessons with rhythm and singing games to break the ice. These games also help train the ear. For flute students, we will then progress to the basics of breathing, tone production, note fingerings, and music reading. Once we reach the point where the student can read and play simple tunes, we will start using Trevor Wye's Beginner's Book for the Flute. For teenage and adult students, we'll discuss your goals in our first meeting and go from there, whether those goals are learning to play for your own enjoyment, or preparing to apply for college and/or summer music programs.

Instruments: Guitar Ukulele Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most challenging things I have had to master have mostly been classical guitar related. Challenges have included playing the melody, inner voices and a baseline while utilizing both the right and left hand effectively, and trying to keep up with dynamics, memory of the piece and technique. Another challenge I faced in my earlier years as a musician was learning to play guitar and sing at the same time.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love to play folk music with fingerstyle guitar accompaniment. I love folk music because it is humble, soulful and it tells many stories.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am very proud of the original music I have released, any recordings or projects that I have had the honor to be a part of, and I am very proud of my progress as a guitarist.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first music teacher in grade school inspired me to further my passion in music. I saw how passionate he was about teaching and playing music, and how it basically was his whole life. At a very young age, I knew that I wanted that for my life as well.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When it comes to voice, I always had a natural talent for it. I have always loved to sing, and it is a huge part of my self expression. I learned guitar to be able to accompany my singing without needing anyone else to do it for me. I have always been Miss Independent that way. Later on, I began studying classical guitar to better my technique and skill, and that too became a very important part of my life, because it taught me structure and discipline.
When will I start to see results?
Results come with practice. If the student practices at least 30 minutes to 1 hour consistently every day, they should be able to see results in their progress within the first month.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child has a strong interest in music, and you see that they have come to a point where they can remain attentive for at least 30 minutes, then they are ready for a lesson.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My strongest advice is to set a realistic goal for yourself every day, and keep a practice journal. In this journal, you can log the time in which you start your practice, how long it takes you to practice each exercise or piece, and any notes about your progress and what you wish to improve on. Also, if you are practice for more than one hour, remember to take breaks, as to not burn yourself out.
