Instruments: Piano Flute Music
I have been given so many opportunities to teach students of various ages. I was an assistant instructor for San Jose State's Summer Flute Institute, which involved giving private lessons, teaching beginner-level flute classes, coaching an intermediate chamber group, and judging a advanced-level performance competition. I've also had the chance to travel to Tijuana, Mexico as an assistant instructor for a summer Festival called Opera de Tijuana's Opera en la Calle. Read More

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).

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching music in 2009 as a tutor for the local junior college teaching music theory and musicianship. I expanded to voice and guitar lessons and have been teaching for the last 12 years. I teach in my home studio, in my students homes and online. I know that consistent practice is the way for students to reach their music goals and so I make sure that each student knows what to practice and how to practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I begin teaching from piano books published by Alfred. I also have the student learn their scales as well as give a weekly written music theory assignment. I incorporate styles and songs the student enjoys listening to or playing as well. I like to teach classical music. With this foundation, ALL other music is much easier to play, and helps tremendously with their sight reading skills. Performance recitals are recommended, but not required. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I like to use supplementary materials if a method book isn't covering musical territory that the student wants to explore. Although I insist a student learn to read music, I encourage learning by ear and have helped students find a melody on the piano by ear rather than reading notes. Patience is my watchword but I will always encourage and document practice times. I tell the student, you can't achieve your music goals without practice, preferably every day. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I have taught for over 40 years and am dedicated to helping all students reach their full potential. As a piano teacher I focus on developing a solid technique (ease of execution, tone, variety of touches, etc...), musical knowledge and stylistic awareness. I believe that we are all students and I simply try to pass on what I have learned, as well as what I continue to learn everyday. For me, the most important thing is personal growth. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music! I've been practicing and playing piano professionally for nearly 20 years. I have performed at private and public events and was the pianist for my church for several years until I moved to California. Now I want to share my expertise with those who are learning so they can also achieve their dreams! If you or someone you know is interested in learning some beautiful classical pieces I would love to get in touch. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents actually chose it for me. I had a lot of friends when I was young who played piano and my parents spoke with their parents and got me into piano lessons. It was my primary instrument through most of my life.
I do now consider myself more a vocalist than a pianist, and that switch started in high school, but I didn't solidify that change until my second year of college when I switched into a music major from a science major and realized that vocal performance was more of my calling than piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the tour I did in Italy. I was one of 10 performers chosen to perform at numerous concerts throughout the Marche region of Italy over 3 months. I also got to study with some former Met Opera performers while I was there.
The audition process was hard and I am still surprised to this day that I was chosen, but it was such an honor and an eye opening experience to the real world of performance. It was one of the coolest performances I have ever done and it rivals the accomplishment of getting my Master's Degree.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On piano, I think that the hardest thing to master is proper fingering and being able to match a composer's tempo. Often times practicing slower and building up to a faster tempo is necessary and that can be frustrating for a musician sometimes.
On voice, I think that the hardest thing is being able to keep consistent technique even through voice changes and developments. I think this along with vocal control in faster music is also a challenge. Making sure that the support is there without faltering.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano, I always use the Alfred series. I used them when I was starting, as did many of my friends who were studying piano and went on to be full time piano performers. Because of this, I stick to these books. They are easy to understand and follow a logical learning pattern that even non-musical parents can help their kids follow.
For voice, I use a combination of the English and Italian schools of vocal technique to teach. These are the most commonly accepted in the classical vocal world and can be modified for different styles of vocal music easily.
