Instruments: Piano, Drums, Accordion, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Music, Djembe

I love teaching rudiments, exercises, and other valuable strategies for piano, accordion, and especially percussion! The most amazing point is seeing a student improve from where they began, no matter the amount of struggle they endure. I am a firm believer of having a student excel and learn at their own pace and the last thing I want is for a student to feel overwhelmed or even become discouraged. Setting goals is important and all goals set are realistic and reachable, no matter how small. Read More

Hi, My name is Will. I love working with beginner students as well as those who have already developed their musical skills. I'm an easy-going person who feels that music should be enjoyed, but also encourages students to challenge themselves and reach for their highest potential. I have found that when students like the pieces they are playing, they will put more effort into learning them and therefore will develop their skills more quickly and completely. Read More

I am a passionate, experienced, kind, and motivated teaching artist who enjoys helping my students discover and develop their abilities. As a full-time working artist, I have a vibrant national career as a composer, singer, conductor, and producer in early and new classical music. I have given masterclasses at Harvard University, ASU, Wellesley, Kenyon, and many other K-12 schools across the country. I was fortunate to have had many inspiring and dedicated teachers and mentors in my life, and I'd love to be that person for my students. Read More

Being an independent artist myself and having to wear many different hats, I understand the importance of curiosity and versatility. I approach every student differently as each student is a different person with a different background who holds their own unique interests and mode of learning. I don't see any reason why a student shouldn't be refining their songwriting chops while also brushing up on classical piano skills or why a jazz trumpet student shouldn't feel empowered to learn the art of recording and producing.

For both beginners and more experienced musicians, I keep each lesson custom. While a lesson book series such as Suzuki will often be at the center of some lessons, It is my goal to help you play music you want to hear. My approach to teaching technique is informed by various sources, but is driven by science. It is important to know how an instrument works to be able to make it work. Read More
