What Are 6-Week Intensives?

6-Week Intensives are guided, time-based piano courses designed to help you make real progress on one clear goal without overwhelm. Each Intensive focuses on a specific skill or outcome—for example, building a complete jazz standard arrangement or developing rhythmic confidence in Latin styles.

How Intensives Work

Unlike a massive library of videos where you might feel lost, Intensives provide a structured, step-by-step approach over 6 weeks:

Weekly Teaching Lessons

One main lesson video is released each week (usually 10–20 minutes). Each lesson has a clear focus for that week—no jumping ahead, no decision fatigue. This structured release schedule helps reduce overwhelm and keeps you focused on exactly what to practice.

Practice Actions

This is where the magic happens. You get the "big" lesson video, but Practice Actions are the real game changer:

  • Short, focused videos (2–4 minutes)
  • Practice with Willie—just play along
  • Released throughout the week—no overwhelm
  • Reinforces the week's lesson without adding new material

There are three Practice Actions per week. Just practice with Willie and you're all set!

Live Coaching Sessions

Each Intensive includes two live group coaching sessions with Willie during the 6 weeks. These sessions focus on musical feedback and clarity (not re-teaching lessons). You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and get direct feedback on your playing.

Community Accountability

Each Intensive includes access to a dedicated private community space. Students are encouraged to post short practice or performance clips. This creates accountability through visibility, not pressure.

What Makes Intensives Different?

Most pianists don't struggle because they lack ability—they struggle because they don't have a repeatable way to build music. Intensives teach you how to think through an arrangement calmly, deliberately, and musically, so you're no longer guessing.

This isn't an extra lesson. It's the missing link between knowing chords and making music.

Intensive Schedule

Each Intensive runs for 6 weeks with:

  • Weekly lesson releases
  • Practice Actions released throughout each week
  • 2 live coaching sessions scheduled during the 6-week period
  • 8 weeks of access to the Intensive materials

Skill Levels

Intensives are designed for different skill levels:

  • Beginner: Perfect for players new to jazz standards or those who freeze when opening a lead sheet
  • Intermediate: For players ready to build stronger arrangements and develop more confidence
  • Advanced: For players looking to master complex styles and techniques

Each Intensive page will indicate the recommended skill level so you can choose the right one for you.
