One-to-One Coaching

Piano and music coaching for ambitious musicians.

Booking enquiry

If you write, record, perform or produce music, there may be areas of musicianship that you’ve never had the chance to develop systematically.

I help musicians fill those gaps – often around keyboard skills, harmony, chords, improvisation and songwriting.

I offer one-off, occasional and regular coaching sessions for professionals and active musicians who want thoughtful, practical guidance without having to commit to weekly sessions.

One-to-one musicianship coaching for songwriters, producers and performers

Who are coaching sessions for?

My typical coaching clients are singer-songwriters, musicians in bands, producers and aspiring producers who want to improve their keyboard skills, their musical creativity or their abilities with chords and music theory.

If you already know my teaching from YouTube and like the way I explain musical ideas, the same practical approach carries through into my one-to-one coaching.

Expanding your skills

You might make your living from music, be working towards a professional career, or simply be a serious and experienced musician. What matters is that you’re already making music and want to broaden what you can do.

Sessions can be one-off, occasional or regular, depending on what you need. I find that some clients bring a particular musical problem they want to solve; some check in periodically as their work develops, and others like a regular coaching session.

I like to build lasting relationships with coaching clients, so my fee includes:

  • My preparation for sessions, which might include listening and song familiarisation

  • A follow-up email after every coaching session, with reminders, resources and to-dos

  • Occasional between-session check-ins this often involves clients sending me audio or video for feedback.

Learning piano?

I also offer one-to-one support for adult piano learners. The best way to access this is via one of the coaching tiers in my Patreon community, each of which comes with a yearly coaching entitlement (that you can top up at a discounted rate).

Joining the Patreon is the best route because it also comes with many other benefits, including access to exclusive resources and our very friendly community of learners.

What’s covered in the sessions?

A coaching session can be shaped around whatever would be most useful to you. That might include:

  • Piano and keyboard skills for singers, songwriters, guitarists and producers

  • Dealing with specific musical questions you have or problems you face

  • Understanding chords, harmony and accompaniment patterns

  • Developing music reading skills

  • Making progress with keyboard improvisation

  • Songwriting and musical structure

Some people come with a very specific question, while others want a broader musical check-in. Both are fine – just get in touch using the contact form below to tell me about your own needs and challenges.

  • After some considerable time and different piano tutors, I experienced my second lesson with Bill. In the follow up email of the points discussed there is a deceptively simple exercise to try. After ten minutes, I laughed out loud as the rhythm that had eluded me for months leapt out of the page!

    • Marti, UK

  • Bill is an exceptional piano coach! He explains things simply & makes playing the piano enjoyable instead of feeling like a chore. Genuinely the best place to start learning piano online.

    – Rob

  • Bill, I must be honest you are up their with the greats of Youtube teaching. You're the hero no one asked for, but that we all needed.

    – Gonçalo

  • Bill's Patreon page and 1-on-1 coaching services is the only product I've purchased in years that feels undervalued. Bill is clearly more interested in helping his learners instead of extracting all their money. His coaching services feel comfortable and personal. Our sessions end with a clear path forward for my learning. Thanks Bill and keep up the good work!
