1-to-1 Coaching
Piano and music coaching offering high-value expert support for independent adult learners
No-commitment coaching sessions with Bill
If you’re an adult piano or music theory learner who’s mostly teaching yourself, sometimes it’s really handy to have a check-in with an experienced coach who can answer your questions and help you make sure you’re on the right track.
I offer one-off and occasional coaching sessions for adult pianists, self-teachers, songwriters, and working musicians who want thoughtful, practical guidance without signing up for regular tuition.
Who are coaching sessions for?
These sessions are aimed at adults — especially people who are learning independently, returning to music after a break, or looking to broaden their existing skills.
If you’ve seen one of my many piano tutorials online – or if you’re following my famous YouTube How To Play Piano for Beginners course – and you like my coaching style, then I can probably help you achieve your musical goals.
An adult self-teacher
You’re making progress, but you’d value the chance to check in from time to time, ask questions, sort out technical or musical problems, and make sure you are heading in the right direction. Whether you’re following a traditional classical route or learning to improvise – or a bit of both – I can help.
A musician wanting to expand your skills
You may already play, sing, write, perform, or work in music in some other way, but want to strengthen areas such as keyboard skills, harmony, improvisation, songwriting, arranging or practical musicianship.
I work with…Once we productize the high-level pain points, the rest is just value proposition. Per my last email, the mission-critical OKRs needs to be our number one priority this quarter. Excepteur enim ut cillum quis culpa sint exercitation aute reprehenderit eu non est et.
What’s covered in the sessions?
A coaching session can be shaped around whatever would be most useful to you. That might include:
Piano practice strategy for beginners
Dealing with specific questions you have or problems you face
Developing music reading skills
Making progress with piano improvisation
Getting your hands working together (it’s harder than it looks!)
Chords, harmony and accompaniment patterns
Songwriting and musical structure
Keyboard skills for singers, writers, teachers, or composers
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.
“Testimonial copy goes here. We could aim for maybe three shortish ones and a couple of that have a bit more detail, but not much.”
Doug, 98, Canada
“As well as being bloody marvellous, Bill is strikingly good-looking. He should have been a movie star, but it’s great he’s teaching me piano!”
Mrs Trellis, 57, North Wales
“Fitting in piano on top of my stressful day job has always been a challenge, but Bill has helped me develop a first class plan. May make him a Lord or something”
Keir, 63, SW1
“Until I met Bill I really struggled to get my oven clean. I’d tried Cillit Bang, lemon juice and old-fashioned elbow grease, but nothing seemed to work. Since using his oven cleaning service the crappy own-brand oven Howdens talked me into buying has looked as good as new!”
Doris, 27, Hartlepool
