The Confident Improviser™

I have been studying with Willie for about 10 years and playing the piano since I was a child. His courses are the most complete and well thought out that I have used online and I have used many. Over the years he has continued to refine his methods and though they have always been great they are even more efficient and effective now. Willie is a great teacher and a very thoughtful and sensitive person in relation to student’s state of mind while trying to learn the piano. I give this podcast and all of Willie’s teaching my highest recommendation.

When I first started with Willie, one of the options was a series of lessons called "No Bull Piano." In a nutshell, that's the essence of his teaching. Too many other teachers/online sites promise that you'll be playing whatever you want in no time --- Willie cuts through that bull and takes you on a longer and more rewarding journey toward REALLY expressing yourself through the piano. And he provides lots of ways to get personal support from him if that's what you need. And that journey will not be the dry, tedious path that classical teachers often pursue. You'll be learning cool rhythms and cool. playful tunes from the beginning. So take advantage of his many offerings to get started and see if you might take this trip with the many of us who love and admire what he's doing for us and our playing.

If you are serious about wanting to become a Jazz piano Jedi, then Willie and Jazz Edge is the only way to learn the Force. Seriously though, my last 6 months have been amazing. Tons of content grouped by course and lessons. Video in bite size pieces. And weekly live zoom coaching sessions where you can show your a video of your progress and get live feedback and weekly “office hours” to ask questions. I did free 30 day playbook to validate his teaching approach was right for me - very happy and on my journey to actually finally learning how to play Jazz piano.
