I’m 3 months into my membership and just want to tell you that your the best! I start to translate your teaching to my way of understanding and grasping it with some notice of success. I tell you I am very happy with how you share your knowledge in a meaningful way. I WILL OWN IT.

So I have learned more about actual practical piano playing in 2 years than all the expensive reading dots lessons previously. Long live Willie Myette I say, worth every dollar spent, and a very inexpensive means of achieving goals whatever your ambitions. ALL FRUSTRATED PLAYERS PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY. Willie is the most wonderful patient teacher who explains everything in great detail. In fact I wish some of the Professors at my old University had been half as patient it would have made a Civil Engineering Degree a lot easier.

If you are at all interested in understanding, learning, playing or improving your play at the piano, you must investigate this superb pianist and teacher. I know a great technologist (which Willie is) as well as a great educator. The sheer volume of consistently prepared piano lessons in all styles and range of instruction is not matched anywhere–not anywhere. Even if you are working, put Willie’s lessons on in the background. Not only will your musical vocabulary be strengthened but so will your brain’s neuropath ways. You will never be bored with Willie’s range of music lessons in jazz, blues, rock, Latin, gospel, funk, chord construction, theory–at all levels of skill. He’s absolutely amazing.

I am 50 years old living in
Luxembourg. I had piano lessons for two years at the age of 18 and my
plan was to become musical engineer but I quickly remarked that my
musical talent was not enough so I skip this plan and became a medical
doctor. I had bought myself electric piano now 20 years ago but I only
played occasionally. I had only rare moments where felt pleasant with
which I was playing and tried always to improvise a little bit but I
felt there is a lack of musicality. 2 years ago I visited Paris with an
old friend of mine who told me that he bought his son a keyboard with
illuminated keys. I was so fascinated by this idea that I instantly
bought myself also keyboard with illuminated keys just to remark after
one day that that doesn’t work for me. So I continued with my Yamaha
epiano searching for an online course. The course Piano Marvel fitted
well to my needs and used it for one year. However I missed the personal
contact or personal instructions from a teacher so I restarted searching
an online program which is also more in the direction of Jazz. Finally,
I found your program and started with PianowithWillie, but the level was
still little bit too high for me. Therefore, are registered to the
homeschoolpiano and am totally in favour of this program. Having
instructor videos from a very encouraging teacher who is not telling you
that you can learn the piano in in two days was exactly what I need.

Three months ago I received an email from you about the boot camp for
the eartraining. I have to admit that I was never able to sing even easy
songs. I was not able to find the right notes and I was not able to
imagine a melody when I saw the sheet music. Inspired by your Boot Camp
I ordered application for the iPad and since three months I train myself
every day for about an half an hour sometimes even more. Spending much
time on that training with singing and learning the solfege system is so
encouraging that it’s hardly to express. I’m still far away from perfect
but for the first time of my life I am able to sing a scale or even
simple chords and started with the book of children’s songs to sing from
the sheets. I also take my favourite songs which I have heard for
several hundred times and try to sing. Singing give so much joy and so
helpful to play the piano that I really want to express all my gratitude
and admiration for giving me this input to spend time on vocalisation.
There are often moments where I thought that learning the piano at my
age is too heavy, is it really worth all this time and effort for just a
little progress but when I compare it to the joy that I have felt now in
the last weeks it is clear that it is worth.

As a self taught amateur of jazz piano I struggled for years to play piano in small groups. I spent hours listening to my idols, searching for the right tones and lines, but mostly it didn’t sound as I had heard it and as I wished to sound. Once I finished my trial and error method I got a hint from a friend, which guided me on Willie’s website.

With the help of Willie’s tremendous method, with his clarity in his elaborated instructions one is able more and more to come to understand the secret of playing and sounding good. He explained the art of playing jazz piano in such a comprehensible way, which is unique. Listen to Willie and you will understand what I mean.

Many thanks to Willie for all the things I have learned from his online-school-system, which is more than I am ever able to work out. There is material for years to work on. I’m happy for the progress I could do with the help of Willie, which gave me the chance of producing a CD last year together with fantastic musicians in the region where I live.

Willie has a great passion for teaching, as a former teacher myself I can appreciate his passion. That passion is contagious it rubs off on people, it rubs off on me I know I’m passionate about it now and primarily a lot of it is due to the fact that I found PianoWithWillie. He cares about his students and that caring was exemplified in that offering the half hour follow up lesson. He is easy to understand he can go as in depth as you like, he can keep it as simple as you like. He really is a down to earth guy and a wonderful musician. I look forward to staying with Willie, I’m a member of his site now and I look forward to many more years of piano playing and hopefully my piano playing– i know it will– will improve and get even better in the years to come with Willie as my teacher, so if anybody out there in piano land is looking for a good piano teacher in any genre of music, any facet of the piano I strongly recommend PianoWithWillie.com.

One of the best things about the site is Willie’s commitment to make the best online experience for his students.

Willie’s website is just great, it constantly evolves, not only in terms of content, but also in terms of features. There are hundreds of hours of instructions of different types of music. Jazz Blues Funk Latin Gospel Rock. As far as I’m concerned, I never get a full understanding of the lesson the first time. What is cool about it is that you can come back to any lesson afterwards to complete your own puzzle. Learning piano is for me like making a puzzle, piece by piece. With the existing content of the website I’ve enough for the rest of my life I think and the website is updated every week, so every week you get a new lesson to work on.

I was very excited when I found PianoWithWillie, Willie has a great method that takes you through interesting (but not ridiculously hard) arrangements that also teach you the fundamentals you need to create your own arrangements and work from fake books or to improvise on existing arrangements. Willie does a great job of breaking down “the magic” that it takes to truly be able to play your instrument instead of just memorizing notes on a page. He covers many popular styles and all skill levels. There’s so much information in the lessons, you find that you get more each time you go through them. Ultimately it takes work to learn an instrument, but I believe Willie makes it as painless and satisfying as possible.
