What Is the Intensive Community?
Each 6-Week Intensive includes access to a dedicated private community space. This community is designed to provide accountability, support, and connection with other students working through the same intensive.
Purpose of the Community
The intensive community serves several important functions:
Accountability Through Visibility
The community creates accountability through visibility, not pressure. When you see other students posting their progress, it motivates you to keep going. When you post your own work, it commits you to continuing your practice.
Feedback and Support

Other students in the intensive
The community at large
Sometimes from instructors
Connection
Connect with other pianists who are:
Working through the same material
Facing similar challenges

Remember
The intensive community is about accountability through visibility, not pressure. It's a supportive space where you can share your progress, get feedback, and connect with others on the same learning journey. Don't be afraid to participate—everyone starts somewhere!
What Are Practice Actions?
Practice Actions are short, focused practice videos (2–4 minutes) that are the real game changer in intensives. While you get the "big" weekly lesson video, Practice Actions are where the magic happens for your actual practice.
Why Practice Actions Matter
Practice Actions are designed to:
Reinforce learning: Help you practice the week's lesson without adding new material
Reduce overwhelm: Short videos mean focused practice sessions
Build consistency: Released throughout the week to keep you practicing regularly
Provide structure: Give you clear, actionable practice steps
How Practice Actions Work
Each week includes three Practice Actions that complement the main lesson:
Format
Short videos: 2–4 minutes each—little to no talking
Play-along format: Practice with Willie—just play along
Focused content: Each Practice Action targets a specific aspect of the week's lesson
Release Schedule
Practice Actions are released throughout the week:
Not all at once: They're spaced out to prevent overwhelm
Check your dashboard: Each Practice Action shows its release date
Build on each other: They progress logically through the week's material
Finding Practice Actions
You can find Practice Actions on your Intensive Dashboard:
Go to your Intensive Dashboard
Look at the "Week Progress" section
Below the Main Lesson card, you'll see Practice Action cards
Each card shows:
Practice Action title (e.g., "Week 1 - Practice Action #1")
Release date (when it becomes available)
"Watch Lesson" link to access the video
Completion indicator (orange checkmark when completed)
How to Use Practice Actions
To get the most from Practice Actions:
1. Watch the Main Lesson First
Always watch the weekly main lesson before starting Practice Actions. The Practice Actions reinforce what you learned in the main lesson.
2. Practice Along with Willie
These videos are designed for you to play along:
Follow along as Willie demonstrates
Play at the same tempo
Focus on the specific technique or concept being practiced
Don't worry about perfection—focus on understanding and applying
3. Repeat as Needed
Practice Actions are meant to be repeated:
Watch and practice multiple times
Each repetition builds muscle memory and understanding
Return to them throughout the week
Use them as warm-ups or focused practice sessions
4. Track Your Progress
Mark Practice Actions as complete when you've practiced them:
This helps you see your progress
Shows which Practice Actions you've worked through
Helps you stay organized and motivated
Practice Tips
To maximize your Practice Action sessions:
Set Up Your Practice Space
Have your piano/keyboard ready
Ensure good lighting and comfortable seating
Minimize distractions
Have the video easily visible
Practice Mindfully
Focus on one thing: Each Practice Action focuses on a specific concept—concentrate on that
Go slowly: Don't rush—take your time to understand and execute
Listen actively: Pay attention to the musical examples and demonstrations
Be patient: Mastery takes time and repetition
Build a Routine
Practice Actions are released throughout the week—use them to build a consistent practice routine
Set aside time each day or every other day
Make Practice Actions part of your regular practice schedule
Practice Actions vs. Main Lessons
Understanding the difference helps you use both effectively:
Main Lesson
Practice Actions
10–20 minutes
2–4 minutes
Teaching and explanation
Practice and application
Released weekly
Released throughout the week
Introduces new concepts
Reinforces learned concepts
Watch and learn
Play along and practice
Common Questions
Do I have to complete all Practice Actions?
While not mandatory, completing all Practice Actions significantly improves your learning. They're designed to reinforce the main lesson and build your skills progressively.
Can I skip ahead?
It's best to follow the release schedule. Practice Actions build on each other and complement the weekly lesson. Skipping ahead might mean missing important foundational practice.
What if I don't understand a Practice Action?
If a Practice Action is unclear:
Re-watch the main lesson for that week
Review previous Practice Actions
Ask questions in the coaching session
Post in the community for help
How many times should I practice each Action?
There's no set number—practice until you feel comfortable with the concept. Some students practice each Action multiple times, others move on after a few repetitions. Focus on understanding and application rather than counting repetitions.
Getting the Most Value
Practice Actions are where you actually develop your skills:
Don't skip them: They're essential for building proficiency
Practice consistently: Regular practice with Actions builds real skill
Use them as building blocks: Each Action builds on previous learning
Enjoy the process: Short, focused practice is more enjoyable than long, unfocused sessions
Remember: The main lesson teaches you what to do. Practice Actions help you actually do it!
What Are Intensive Coaching Sessions?
Each 6-Week Intensive includes two live group coaching sessions with Willie during the 6-week program. These sessions are designed to provide direct feedback, answer questions, and help you apply what you're learning in the intensive.
What to Expect
Coaching sessions are group sessions (not one-on-one) where:
Willie provides musical feedback: Get direct feedback on your playing and musical choices
Questions are answered: Ask questions about the intensive content or your progress
Clarity is provided: Get clarification on concepts that might be unclear
Community connection: Connect with other students working through the same intensive
What Coaching Sessions Are NOT
It's important to understand that coaching sessions:
Do not re-teach lessons: The sessions focus on feedback and clarification, not re-teaching material from the weekly lessons
Are not private lessons: These are group sessions where multiple students participate
Are not mandatory: While highly recommended, you can still complete the intensive without attending live

How Progress Tracking Works
Your Intensive Dashboard automatically tracks your progress as you complete lessons and Practice Actions. This visual feedback helps you see what you've accomplished and what's still ahead.
Completion Indicators
When you complete a lesson or Practice Action, you'll see clear visual indicators:
Orange Checkmark
Completed items display an orange checkmark icon in the top-right corner of the card. This checkmark appears immediately after you mark a chapter as complete.
Orange Border
Completed cards also have an orange border (2px width) around the entire card. The orange color (#f04e23) makes completed items stand out clearly from incomplete ones.
What Gets Tracked
The dashboard tracks completion for:
Main Lesson: The weekly main lesson video
Practice Actions: Each of the three weekly Practice Action videos
How Completion is Determined
Progress is tracked when you mark a chapter as complete in the lesson player. Here's how it works:
Watch the lesson or Practice Action video
Mark the chapter as complete using the completion button in the lesson player
The dashboard automatically updates to show the completion indicators
If you mark something as uncomplete, the indicators are removed
Viewing Your Progress
You can see your progress at a glance:
Completed Items
Orange checkmark in the top-right corner
Orange border around the card
Same "Watch Lesson" link (you can still review completed content)
Incomplete Items
No checkmark
Standard card border (no orange highlight)
"Watch Lesson" link to access the content
Progress Across Intensives
Each intensive tracks its own progress separately:
When you switch between intensives using the dropdown, you'll see the completion status for that specific intensive
Completing a lesson in one intensive doesn't affect the progress display in other intensives
Your progress is saved per intensive, so you can track multiple intensives independently
Why Track Progress?
Tracking your progress helps you:
Stay motivated: See how much you've accomplished
Stay organized: Know what you've completed and what's next
In the lesson player, use the completion button to mark the chapter as complete
Return to the dashboard to see the orange checkmark and border
Marking Items Uncomplete
If you need to mark something as uncomplete (perhaps to review it again):
Go to the lesson page
Use the completion button to unmark the chapter
The dashboard will automatically remove the completion indicators
Tips for Progress Tracking
Mark complete after watching: Don't mark items complete until you've actually watched and understood the content
Use it as a guide: The progress indicators help you know where you are in the intensive
Don't rush: Focus on understanding, not just checking boxes
Review when needed: You can always rewatch completed content—the checkmark doesn't lock you out
Troubleshooting
Checkmark not appearing? Make sure you've marked the chapter as complete in the lesson player, not just watched the video.
Progress not updating? Try refreshing the dashboard page. The completion status updates automatically when you mark chapters complete.
Wrong completion status? If something shows as complete when it shouldn't (or vice versa), go to the lesson page and adjust the completion status there.
Using the Intensive Selector
If you have access to multiple intensives, you can easily switch between them using the dropdown selector at the top of your Intensive Dashboard.
How to Switch Intensives
Locate the dropdown: At the top right of the "6-Week Intensives" section, you'll see a dropdown menu labeled "Select Intensive"
Click the dropdown: Click on the dropdown to see all available intensives
Choose an intensive: Select the intensive you want to view from the list
View updates: The dashboard will immediately update to show:
The selected intensive's title and description

Next Intensives Coaching
The coaching card shows the next upcoming coaching session, which applies to all intensives you have access to.
Tips
Focus on one at a time: While you can switch between intensives, it's often best to focus on completing one intensive before moving to the next
Use the selector: Don't worry about losing your place—the dashboard remembers your selection
Check your progress: Switching intensives lets you see your completion status across all intensives you're enrolled in
Troubleshooting
Can't see the dropdown? Make sure you have access to multiple intensives. If you only have access to one intensive, the dropdown may not appear or may only show one option.

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.
Join Willie for live Intensives Coaching sessions where everyone gets real-time feedback. Each participant is given time to share what they’re currently working on and ask any questions they have. Willie listens, responds, and gives clear, actionable direction tailored to where you are right now.
These sessions are 100% live and interactive—there is no advance submission. To receive feedback, you must attend the session and participate live.
All coaching sessions are recorded, so even after the session ends, you can review the guidance, revisit key moments, and learn from the questions and coaching given to other students.
This is focused, practical coaching designed to help you get unstuck and move forward—fast.
How to Improvise with Chords to Set Up a Song (ie, Harmonic improvisation) using the song Georgia On My Mind
Come join me for an engaging live coaching experience unlike any other. In this dynamic new format, I'll be calling on each student individually to discuss what they've been working on, share their progress, and get personalized guidance on their biggest challenges.
This isn't a passive session where you sit back and listen – it's an interactive coaching session designed to keep everyone engaged and accountable. Each participant will have the opportunity to be in the hot seat, receiving direct feedback and actionable advice tailored to their specific situation and goals.
You’ll start by learning the melody and pairing it with simple root notes in the left hand. This establishes the form of My Romance and builds coordination without overcomplicating anything.
Use the major scale to improvise over jazz ballads.
Learn how to improvise over a diminished chord.
These 6-week Piano Intensives are focused, step-by-step deep dives designed to help you make real progress on one specific skill or tune. Each intensive combines concise recorded lessons with clear practice guidance and live support, so you’re not just watching—you’re actually applying what you learn. You’ll build confidence, develop practical tools you can use immediately, and walk away with a solid, playable result at the piano instead of unfinished ideas.
2026 Chord Play Topics include how to improvise with chords freely and merge them into a song. During this session, there was a talkback, and participants were encouraged to share their suggestions for topics to be covered throughout the semester.
Chord Play will show you how to get the most music out of even the simplest chord progressions. You’ll learn how to take a basic two-chord loop and turn it into something rich, colorful, and full of movement. Step by step, we’ll explore different ways to “arrive” at a chord, how to break apart and re-build progressions, and how to combine the chords you already know with new ones borrowed from other keys for fresh, exciting sounds.
You’ll also discover how different chords create different moods—and how you can use those moods to spark your improvisation. By the end of the course, you’ll have a set of practical tools to make your playing more interesting, your arrangements more engaging, and your improvisations more expressive, all while deepening your understanding of harmony in a fun, hands-on way.
