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.

Join me live this Thursday as I announce the new Jazzedge Intensives. I’ll walk you through what they are, who they’re for, how to use them in your practice, and how they can help you make real progress faster—plus live playing, examples, and Q&A.

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.

Building off of my proven The Confident Improviser™ Level 1 program, this masterclass takes you deeper into the art of jazz improvisation. Instead of relying on the same licks and riffs, you’ll learn how to shape solos that flow naturally and connect emotionally with your audience. Through a mix of focused exercises and live masterclass sessions, you’ll develop the skills to create improvisation lines that sound fresh, musical, and personal.

We’ll work directly with jazz standards, exploring how to navigate chord changes, weave together motifs, and use rhythm, harmony, and phrasing to tell a musical story. Along the way, you’ll gain practical tools to expand your vocabulary, boost your confidence, and bring more expression into your playing—whether you’re practicing at home, performing for others, or creating your own unique voice at the piano.

Improvisation can feel overwhelming—so many notes, chords, and ideas flying around. But when you break it down into the 5 core pillars, the path forward becomes clear.

In this live training, Willie will guide you step-by-step through the foundations of improvisation: Accompaniment, Rhythm, Technique, Scales, and Expression. Each pillar plays a vital role, and together they form the structure you need to improvise with confidence and creativity.

You’ll not only hear demonstrations, but also take part in guided exercises that you can apply immediately to your practice. Whether you’re brand new to improvising or already comfortable but looking for that “next level,” this session will give you a roadmap to stronger, more musical solos.

By the end of the training, you’ll know exactly what to focus on, how to practice more effectively, and how to bring out your own unique voice at the piano.

Get ready for a new take on learning music theory. Our new "Practical Music Theory & Reharmonization" class is for anyone who wants to "own" the most important music theory skills that are needed to create exciting arrangements, improvise and be creative at their instrument.

This class is for all instruments and all levels. This means you can be a beginner or a pro. It also means you do not have to be a piano-player to gain valuable skills from this class.

How are all levels going to work in one class you ask? For one, we will be starting easy for everyone since this is a new class format. This means everyone will be able to start out on the right foot and feel comfortable. Willie will also be giving you lesson suggestions from the site so you know where to turn if you need additional help.

Why is the word "practical" in the title?

That's because there are a lot of music theory items that are not really needed by all students. Sometimes theory classes, in their goal to be as complete as possible, end up overburdening students with information that is "good to know" but not "mission critical."

Everything in this class is "must know" information that every single musician should strive to master.
