I took piano lessons from Willie and I really enjoyed learning from him. Willie is very knowledgeable and was able to tailor the lessons to the way I learn so I could get the most out of the lesson. I feel like I have skills I am able to maintain for a lifetime to continue to enjoy playing piano.

We’ve only had one lesson so far, but this gentleman was professional, responsive, understanding and seemed to really know his stuff. My son had a great time and came away with valuable information. Another review to come after he’s had more lessons.

I practiced my singing for an audition and I got the audition. He helped me figure out problem areas with my voice and what I needed to improve on. I would recommend Minnix Music because I enjoy the lessons he teaches!

Willy is very approachable, and was able to identify quickly my current ability/goals and help lay out a good starting point in my first lesson to help progress my guitar playing ability
