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.
Update 2026: 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.
Update 2025: the business has grown so much over the last five years because our customers are so happy with our services that the stay for years!
I have hired other teachers who teach alongside me, and they are very impressive, honestly I’m often in awe of them!
So! We are able to do all rock/pop related instruments now; including voice lessons for girls! We have 2 very amazing teachers for girls singing!

Will is very knowledgeable and is great at breaking things down in a way that is easy to understand. He's always very patient and has been willing to adjust his lessons to meet my specific needs. It's clear that he cares about what I want to learn. I love his positive attitude and fun personality that you can see through his ambition and passion for music. I definitely recommend him!

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 was a superb teacher. As an intermediate with no music theory, he was able to customize a lesson plan to my abilities. I look forward to future lessons!

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.
