I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy the lessons, and how much I've learned. You make everything so clear, step by step, in little "bite size" pieces!!... Because I'm really an organist, It has been super frustrating trying to figure out WHAT to do with my left hand.... I have covered many of your lessons... all very helpful in getting some agility with my left hand!... Lessons have been a HUGE leap forward for me.

My name is Beasley Reece. I'm a former NFL player and currently the Sports Anchor for CBS3 TV in Philadelphia. I would like to thank Willie for unlocking the mysteries that have held my Piano advancement in a stagnant place for many years. Willie's teaching method and the interactive website made the difference for me. I work at night so having the lessons available in between newscasts or anytime I have a few minutes is important as well. The sight is safe and secure. I join the monthly payment program in the winter and cancel in the summer when my focus turns to Golf and travel. Never a hassel to sign up or drop out. I recommend Willie's program to anyone looking to improve technique, theory, or just add a few songs to the resume.

I have been subscribing to Jazz Piano for a month and I just wanted to whole heartedly appreciate and praise you for the good job you are doing. Willie is an excellent teacher and the lessons are easy to grasp, he has clarity over everything he is doing and at the end we are granted with one good lesson which makes us feel heavenly while playing! Keep up the good work Willie and Valerie

This is an excellent website. I've been working at improvisation for several years, but Willie Myette has given me a ton of fresh ideas about reharmonization--something I'd never--not being a professionally-trained musician--really considered before. Additionally, the site is very deep--with hours of practical, instructional videos on applying these concepts to standards (e.g., "All of Me," "Autumn Leaves," "Georgia") as well as to Christmas songs. Willie Myette really knows how to create popular music for public performance, and I'm very happy I found this site.

I find a lot of good stuff in your online-school. Sheet music-material and video-material and audio-material is welldone and helpful for improving technic of playing as well as understanding the relationship of different components in jazz-music.

Whenever I see your DVD samples, I get inspired to go and play more. I really like the fact that you let us see that you make mistakes … because it lets us know (as students) that no matter how good we get (or think we are), we will inevitable make a mistake or two. It says, it’s OK to make a mistake. I thank you for that…..
…what I like most about Willie’s instructional procedures is that he doesn’t spend a lot of time “just talking”. He shows you (through his visuals) exactly what he is talking about. And we all know that a picture is worth a thousand words. I also believe in the old adage that “if the student fails to learn, the instructor has failed to teach.” I’ve learned quite a bit from Willie, thus, his instructional method is proof positive that he is an excellent teacher.
