Denton Piano Lessons - Dr. Villaverde

I have been taking piano lessons from William for the past two years. William is an incredibly talented pianist who is very patient when teaching. He finds interesting and organic ways to incorporate music theory and history during our lessons that are relatable and connected to the song or lesson that I am currently working on. It always amazes me how he figures out creative and personalized solutions when an issue I may be having on certain piece or technique arises solely based on how he knows I typically play. As an adult in my mid 40s learning piano has been on my bucket list for a long time. Having someone like William who is patient and dynamic in his teaching approach is so important and has given me the confidence that I can in fact learn how to play piano.

My son went from spending all his time playing video games… To spending nearly 100% of his free time playing the piano. The mark of a great teacher is not what they say, rather what they can inspire someone to DO. Dr. Villaverde is a rare find, A PhD decorated concert pianist who also possesses a rare gift for inspiring young people to rise to their highest level.

Dr. Villaverde is fantastic!! He's an incredible musician, very patient, and explains things in new ways that have really augmented my musical thinking! I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants to learn piano. As a professional musician myself, he has helped me grow tremendously in my ability and technique in piano (my secondary instrument). My daughter loves her lessons with him, too - he's fantastic with children and adults alike.

William is a patient and thoughtful teacher. I am an adult who took lessons when in high school, but had not played much for the past 20 years. When I retired, I wanted to play well. I began lessons with William and improved quickly. He is patient and taught me how to overcome poor habits. He has taught me how to properly practice, and works with me on the mechanics of each piece. The music he suggests is pretty and stretches me as a pianist. I have confidence when playing before a group, and I can play so many "difficult" pieces now! Playing the piano is a joy!
