Bill Keis Piano Lessons

Bill Keis is an amazing teacher. I was referred to him by my piano tuner. I have learned so much from Bill over the past few months. His teaching method is great and his book, The Complete Guide to Learning Music, is such a wonderful tool and an absolute necessity for me.
I have had many teachers in the past; however Bill is so great at making music makes sense. I feel so fortunate to have found him.

Mr. Keis is a consummate professional in every area of music. He has taught me so much in the past few years in regards to the piano. He has covered so many musical subjects in such a short period of time and has made them fun and exciting to learn. Mr. Keis has covered theory, harmony, grooves, scales, blues, jazz, improvisational techniques, and much much more.
Mr. Keis is not only an excellent instructor but a Master Musician, Producer, Songwriter, Pianist, and Recording Engineer. Whatever level that you are on Bill has the ability to take you to higher levels of achievement. Bill is an innovator and has the ability to turn ones musical weaknesses into strengths in a relatively short period of time, just like magic.

Although I played piano a little when I was a child, I always told myself that «someday I will take lessons again.» Well, my «someday» occurred a little over two years ago and I was referred to Bill Keis by a piano tuner who played magnificently. Bill was actually this guy’s teacher. (I had previously tried another teacher at a local music store who absolutely frustrated me. That guy was more interested in me listening to how great he played than teaching me. It almost made me quit keyboards altogether.)
Fast forward to today. I am now reading music, improvising, playing jazz, blues, a touch of classical, and understanding much more about rhythm, harmony and melody. Bill is an experienced musician who actively plays live gigs, as well as an accomplished and sought-​after arranger, composer and recording artist.
Chick Correa? Jay Leno Show? Chico? Wow. He is the real deal. I can’t recommend him enough as a teacher. I have weekly lessons at his studio, assuming my busy work schedule allows for it. It has proven to be a wonderful outlet for me.
In addition, his book, The Complete Guide To Learning Music, is great for beginners, intermediate and advanced musicians as well. He has also authored a bunch of e-​books for learning.
I was not asked to provide this review, but am doing so in an effort to share my enthusiasm for Bill as a teacher. He is patient and can even work with a stubborn attorney like me!
