Playing piano can seem like a lot...reading notes, hand-eye coordination, and not getting nervous all at the same time! But it gets easier when you know what to expect!

I'm JohnWillard and I enjoy teaching students who are curious, who know what they want to learn, and want to get better at playing piano. I enjoy taking questions, talking through problems, and helping students practice and play with personal goals in mind. Going through a method book or working through a challenging new piece is easier (and more fun) when you know what to watch out for! 
My focus on musical details, technique, and expression will make your playing better than it already is. I point out patterns and tricky sections you might’ve missed. I help break down your goals into smaller, easier chunks for faster progress. Click one of buttons below to see if I'm the right teacher for you. Or contact me here.  Tell me what you need help with, and I hope to see you online!
