About
Hello! I’ve been teaching guitar and piano for the last 9 years; I try to focus on teaching your favorite music by showing you new ideas in order of usefulness. A lot of musical ideas seem complicated at first, but I can break them down into small bites so that new things are simple and fun.
Currently I have an amazing team of musicians able to teach a multitude of instruments for rock/pop music including singing, piano, drums, guitar and bass. They all are extremely talented and eager to teach upcoming students.
I also offer music theory lessons for those who are interested in advancing their understanding of the craft.
The business has been able grown so much over the last five years because our customers are so happy with our services that the stay for years and we would love to hear from you as well! :)
Update 2026:
Friendly note: We are located at the intersection of Dairy Ashford and Highway 90; Please do not message me if this is too far from you. I have had many customers reach out from Fulshear; then never even schedule a tryout lesson. It costs me $$$ and I’d prefer to keep prices low for existing customers. In Short; please map it before you reach out.

Will is an incredible guitar teacher!! I went to him for a couple of years and was happy with the quality of his lessons. Every lesson is super fun and engaging. He does a great job explaining technique, theory, and also different genres. We also dove in on different gear which was definitely an added plus! His lessons helped me grow confident with playing in live settings. If you have any questions he’s very nice and approachable.

Our son went to William's school to learn guitar and we were really impressed with all the things they were able to teach him. My son is now really good at hearing songs and can play anything just by listening to it. William taught him well. He is an excellent and patient teacher and he makes the class fun and interesting for the kids. We are definitely sending our other kids when they are old enough.

William does a great job of not just teaching where to place your fingers on a guitar, but also explaining music theory in a way that’s easy to understand. The lessons were fun and I’m learning more songs!

William is great. He worked with me as well as my boys. He taught us guitar and piano. William is very knowledgeable, and he easily finds ways to motivate his students to practice and play.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are by the month not by the lesson.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I evaluate where the student is already and teach based on that. I used to be disappointed when teachers would teach me things too easy or too hard. My first goal is to make sure I'm always teaching material, that is balanced between easy and hard :)
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a pro-musician my entire adult life, I'm 35 years old, which admittedly isn't that old, but Its been enough time to get a feel for what works and what doesn't.
