Perfect! He is always on time. Very patient. Would highly recommend.
Perfect! Will is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and really takes the time to listen to your needs and goals. He tailored the lesson perfectly to my skill level, making the material both challenging and enjoyable. I left the session feeling more confident and inspired, and I’m excited to continue working with him to further develop my percussion skills!
Perfect! Although he is young, he is still an amazing percussion tutor. Definitely developed my timpani skills and taught me how to strengthen my left hand which made it very improved. I would 100% recommend taking lessons with him if you’re looking to play marimba or timpani
- Great student, always interested in the material and progressed well through our summer of lessons!Will's response :

My daughter took percussion lessons from Will throughout high school. She improved so much with his help, giving her the confidence to tryout for and succeed in achieving more select positions in her high school music program. Will's teaching style is so positive and she liked that he kept lessons fresh—moving forward with new pieces and exercises fairly quickly. We highly recommend Will.
Will is a fantastic percussion teacher. My 13-year-old has progressed tremendously in snare drum and marimba in just four lessons. Will explains concepts clearly and concisely, and teaches solid percussion skills very effectively. We feel extremely fortunate to study with such an amazing teacher and would highly recommend him.
Will Richards is the most reliable and professional musician and educator that I know. As a player/performer, he is always prepared both in solo and group settings. As a colleague, he is trustworthy and reliable. As a teacher, he brings a unique set of skills and insights collected from his own studies into his work with his students. I highly recommend Will for students of any age/level.
Will is an awesome percussion teacher! He goes above and beyond in every capacity! He's been teaching my son various percussion instruments for the past 7 months and I've seen his playing improve exponentially. Beyond his superb teaching, he will send you an email after every lesson detailing the things that was covered and what you should work on for the next lesson. Truly a class act! I'm so happy we found him. Highly recommend!!!
Will is an amazing teacher, he makes things very easy to understand. He’s patient but also will push you to do your best. He will look at every little thing you do and he’ll do his best to polish it out. He is also well versed in all things percussion, whether that is keyboard, snare drum, hand percussion, drum kit, and any other axillary percussion. I would highly recommend him as a teacher.
