What clients are saying...

“I started learning to read music and play piano at 50, and Willie has made learning both come more naturally than I ever imagined possible. I am learning and playing better everyday. I love Willie!"

“Willie was the perfect fit of a piano teacher for our sons, Ben and Keith, who each took lessons with her for about 7-8 years. They are now in their 20's, but they still cherish their years of learning to play and the weekly visits they had with Willie. I think it was because she made learning to play a joy and not a chore. She just understands kids really well and gets to know all her

students.

My husband and I enjoyed the yearly recitals... seeing all her students (kids and adults) performing, reading each student's bio that she carefully crafted, enjoying time with the other families during the pot-luck, and best of all -- getting to hear Willie play some of her own music or Flight of the Bumblebee - truly incredible! Such fond memories of a GREAT PIANO TEACHER!”

"Willie Hammond is fantastic! Willie taught both of our children for years. Our daughter continued through high school and even into college! Willie helped our kids find what they loved about piano and music and spent time fostering those passions. She made playing piano fun and intrinsically rewarding, going way beyond rote instruction. Our children talk fondly of their time with Willie, who became a genuine friend. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to teach our children."

“I took piano lessons with Willie Hammond from the age of 6 until I left for college four years ago, and I cannot give her a high enough recommendation! She has a unique teaching style that works well for students of all ages.

Willie encouraged me to learn my favorite songs (Adele, Coldplay, the Beatles) on the piano. She gives feedback that not only improved my technique, but also taught me how to put emotion into the pieces. Willie has helped me build a repertoire of all piano styles. She inspired in me a love for music which kept me motivated to continue working.

Willie works great with both children and adults. She has well-structured lessons every week that helped me. She also kept up on my life, and cared about me as much more than her piano student. Willie teaches with a patience and kindness that I have never seen in another adult. Furthermore, she herself is an inspiring musician who encourages those around her to live passionately!”

"Willie Hammond is a wonderful piano teacher who relates so well with her students. My daughter took lessons from her for many years during which Willie focused on the fundamentals of music and piano while encouraging her creativity by allowing her to pursue music in which she was most interested. My daughter loved going to Willie’s for lessons and we are so happy we found her.”
