Nurture a calm, capable & creative kid through music education, done for you…
My fun & interactive online music program teaches kids how to sing with confidence, listen with understanding, feel rhythms and read music, all while discovering famous composers and exploring the rich history of music.
Why many parents struggle with music education...
As a homeschooled kid in the nineties, my parents did everything they could to help me learn and love music.
It was hard.
Learning at home can be isolating for both the parents and the kids. But with perseverance, guess what?
As an adult, I became a MUSIC TEACHER!
I worked in schools and taught privately, but when my own kids arrived a few years ago…I thought:
What’s out there musically for my kids? How can I help them learn and love music?
The problem: good music education resources are hard to find.
And what was around tended to make music feel either stuffy, boring or simplistic.
And I thought: is this why so many parents struggle to give their kids a memorable music education? For kids in school, hopefully their music program is inspiring...
But what if it isn't?
And what if you homeschool?
I knew I had to solve this problem.
So I started my weekly online & interactive music lessons that have helped 100+ families grow their kids’ brains with music education and have LOADS OF FUN in the process.

What Others Are Saying...
Tuesday afternoon Music with Will lessons are one of our favorite parts of our homeschool week!
We have 4 children aged between 4-13 and it’s the only lesson in the week they all enjoy together! The jingles, the jokes, and mostly Will’s engaging manner make the lessons whizz by. We’re always amazed how everything the lesson has been about comes together at the end and we feel like we’ve really learnt something new and interesting. (I say “we” as I try and sit in as often as possible as I don’t have a musical background and am learning lots too!!)
The children are learning to appreciate different types of music and they are loving experimenting with the music tech lessons Will has introduced us to. I wholeheartedly recommend Music with Will to everyone!
Kate
Mum of four (aged 4-13)
He's absolutely loving it. We were completely at sea. We didn't know where to go, what to do, how to do it. I can't teach him something I don't know.
You have filled the gap completely. Thank you very, very much!
[To parents considering it],
please do it. You will not regret it, it's so much fun. You'll have fun with your child alongside your child. There will be learning involved. But, more importantly, it's just fun.
There's no reason not to.

F.A.Q.
Music is for everyone and my lessons teach and inspire students from a wide range of abilities and ages. This being said, I plan primarily with children aged 7-12yrs in mind. Families with children aged 4-6 also love them, though!
Watched live, lessons are interactive through quizzes and Q&A text chat. However, whether live or on-demand, my lessons are engaging thanks to singing, rhythm games and zany jingles. I teach the 45min lesson as a series of four-five short lesson snippets and this keeps children hooked. Children with ADHD and other special educational needs, in particular, find my lessons uniquely engaging. Come and see for yourself!
Neither were mine! So I understand your situation. I see my role as 50:50 helping children and parents, so rest assured I'm here to help. The simplest thing you can do to 'teach yourself' is attend the lessons along with your child!
You'll receive an invitation link from Zoom the morning of the lesson. Click this link and join from any device (Windows, Apple, Android, etc.) To get the most from lessons, use good speakers and a large screen (e.g. tablet or laptop).
Yes, lessons can be watched whenever suits you, or even watched again! Since I run the lesson as a 'webinar', students are not recorded.
None at all! Bring your voice, a smile and a pair of listening ears. Oh, and plastic cups & a bouncy ball might come in handy!
How big is your room? ;-)
Absolutely! In fact, parents of children with special educational needs often reach out to thank me for the lessons. Why? It seems that both the subject of music and my engaging teaching style resonates with children with SEND more than any other online class parents have tried. I'm so pleased!
I remember somebody pointing out that the school day lasts only 7-8hrs, the other 16-7 being spent at home with parents, so in reality don't we all home educate, but it's just the hours that differ? 😁 As our boys are 2yo and 2mo, we're not at that point where anything official has been decided, but home educating is definitely being considered.
Good teaching is valuable. Some resources on the web are 'free' but, in reality, are supported by ads or based on a model which constantly pesters you to upgrade. I like to be upfront and straightforward about the cost of learning and I keep the cost as low as I can so that families of all budgets can afford to add music to their home ed journey. Thank you for supporting me - you keep my little mouths fed 😁
No and this makes sure my lessons appeal to all families, regardless of background or belief.
Not yet, but I'm always looking for new ways to help home educating children succeed, so watch this space!
Of course! You can cancel at any time! :-)
