What People are Saying About WillYouLearn
|
"I'm a full time nanny for a family with two girls, ages 5 and 7. The girls have been studying guitar and piano with willyoulearn for the last two years and have really been enjoying it. They get so excited for class every week. The teachers are excellent, patient, personable and the girls love them. Their dad has even been inspired to start playing guitar again. The other week they all played "Eye of the Tigre" together in a little after dinner house concert, the kind of genuine family time we should see more of! Highly recommended."
-Amanda C. “These kids are all really playing music. I haven’t heard anything like it. They all have great time, they all can hear, they know how to listen and they’re having a blast.” - Ron McClure, legendary bassist |

“As a parent who took traditional piano lessons as a child, I wanted something different and more fun for my son who we could tell was musically inclined. Will is the PERFECT teacher! He makes lessons fun and interesting while still teaching technique and using traditional books. Within a year, my son is singing while playing the piano and can do popular songs that keep him interested. I HIGHLY recommend Will and WillYouLearn. There is not a more fun recital in NYC!” Kristen F.
“The recital was wonderful! We are still talking about it. It was chill and filled with fun and respect and enthusiasm. And there was so much talent! It was exactly what we needed” Wendy B. Mother of Henry, Molly and Eleanor.
"Will Armstrong is a superb musician and teacher. He's good-natured, fun and always inspiring. Will is a true innovator. I couldn't recommend him any higher.”
-Andrew Berke, Director of At Your Door Music, Wellesley, Ma.
"Ashley has really been enjoying piano class. The books Will suggested just arrived and Ashley chose to read them as her bedtime books!" - Mother of Hewitt School first grader.
"Having Will as a teacher was a really fun and educational way to start off my learning to play piano. He would make pieces that seemed extremely boring or difficult easy and fun to play when the time came to practice. Will was my teacher for 2 years and when he left for New York I was really wondering what I would do now that I didn't have him as a teacher. The lessons he gave I looked forward to every week, and some days I could even persuade him to give me a piece of pineapple my mom had given him for the duration of the lesson :)"

“Julia looked forward to Will's piano lessons each week. Supportive, friendly, and always making the lessons fun, Julia's piano improved week to week through Will's non-pressured, relevant, lesson-plans. Equally comfortable with traditional books as creating lessons around Julia's playlist, Will laid the foundation for understanding not only piano but music. We wish Will were still in Boston.”
-Lisa L. Mother of Julia, age 9
"I feel very lucky to be able to work with Joe because he is an extremely talented pianist. He has been very patient and nice to me from the beginning as I am starting again after not playing for a long time. He is concerned about my motivation, asks me if I'm getting bored of the same song, and most of all he is very very flexible with my schedule!! His method is new to me, and I am happy to be learning about chords and theory in a fun and practical way. I would totally recommend Joe!"

"I began taking lessons with Mr Killian when I was almost 50 years old . I had never taken Sax lessons before. I had a very limited music background. I truly had no formal background . Mr Killian's patience ,deep understanding of Music and a good sense of the needs of the Student made it possible for me to make gains in playing the Saxaphone I never would have imagined possible . I would highly recommend him as a teacher for an advanced or basic student of Saxophone.”

"Stan has been incredibly patient in developing the musical curiosity in my kids with a unique approach about discovering and mastering the art of music. Stan has introduced my kids to all kind of music styles, from pop, rock, Christmas carols, classical to South American tunes. After only three years my kids are starting improvising and harmonizing their own short compositions using the fundamentals of scales, chords using both hands. Thank you Stan for your good work."

"Will taught my daughter to play piano. He was a fun, enthusiastic and engaging teacher who could really connect with a first grader and make starting to learn an instrument a fun experience which was important to us. Will brought his love of jazz, funk and blues with him to every lesson and shared new music with my daughter while also using the traditional teaching materials. In our second year with Will he taught me and my husband which was a wonderful way to share learning an instrument within the family and made us appreciate our daughters progress and her challenges. From time to time we even fought over piano availability!. We would highly recommend Will to teach or improve your piano skills"
