About Will
I'm an Award-Winning Music Composer, pop songwriter, and musical composer. I've had my musicals and songs performed around Brisbane and in short films across the state. Music I have written is on Triple J Unearthed, Spotify, and has been played on 4ZZZ. As well as a Songwriter I am also a Music Producer, Sound Engineer, Multi-instrumentalist, and Vocal Coach which gives me a unique combination of skills when working with songwriters. I've also taught students of all ages.
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I teach song writing specialising in contemporary pop music and musical theatre for beginners and intermediates.
Together we will work on lyrics, melodies and musical accompaniment to create songs that capture audiences, convey emotions and tell stories.
Lessons typically start with a warm-up to get our creative juices flowing.
From there we will do some specific exercises focusing on developing particular song writing skills - this might be breaking down a pop song to see what words they use to playing with different chord progressions and harmonies to explore the emotions they create.
Then we will start writing. Whether it's a piece students are already working on, an idea they have or something entirely brand new that we come up with together.
The after writing the song - we will do a demo recording to share with friends and family.
Content includes:
Using rhetoric devices in lyrics (sounds boring but it's super cool!)
Creating catching melodies to grab a listener
How chords affect emotion melodies and accompaniment?
Music theory for chord progressions
Music theory for pop melodies
How story structure in musicals affects song choices?
What songs a musical needs?
Instrument choice for emotions and story telling
AND SO MUCH MORE!

HIGHEST recommendation! Among other things, Will is a great human being!
My interactions with Will have centered mostly around my learning to sing. I’ve known him since early 2020 when I began my personal singing adventure through a musical theatre workshop he was facilitating. I’ve studied with him for most of the Terms throughout the last four years, more recently in his group singing courses. Next year I intend to take further advantage of his expertise through undertaking private lessons.
If I had to sum up Will’s approach in one word, I’d use the term ‘genuine’. He genuinely cares about his students and explores strategies to progress them through their singing journey in ways that are intuitive and easy to grasp.
Whilst attending his group courses I’ve participated in many individual tutoring mini sessions as well as benefiting from the group-oriented work. During that time, I have noted that Will’s approach is warm and supportive as well as being astute and insightful.
When presenting students with a challenge Will ensures that it is achievable. He also takes the time to apply careful thought outside of the classroom towards how best to help his students accomplish their singing goals. His breadth of knowledge has allowed him to present me with songs that I would never have considered, but which have assisted me to strengthen and develop my ability and expand my repertoire. I am only just learning to read music and beginning to understand how to apply my voice to written music annotation; Will has patiently assisted me to successfully learn songs through using sheet music.
The proof is in the singing. I perform regularly with a small group of volunteers, we put on song and dance shows at aged care facilities. My fellow volunteers have commented on my substantial singing development over the last several years. I believe that my improvement is entirely due to the techniques and skills that Will has taught me.
Will also doesn’t neglect his own skillset. He’s constantly exploring new and exciting avenues of musical expression as well as keeping himself involved with other like-minded talented individuals. I’ve seen him perform on the stage and have watched shows for which he’s written music. He’s totally professional in every respect.
I have no hesitation in recommending Will as an ideal tutor for beginners and for advanced students.Will has been giving me singing lessons for a while now and since starting our lessons, I have noticed an improvement in my vocal tone and singing ability. Will always knows how to help me sing at my best and has thorough answers to any of my questions. He is passionate about music and has coached me on both musical theatre and pop songs. I would recommend Will to anyone wanting to learn singing.
Will is an outstanding singing teacher and I highly recommend his classes. I took 10 lessons with him, with very noticable results. He is a patient teacher, but is also genuinely committed to his students' improvement. Importantly, he takes the time to understand his students' singing style and goals, and tailors the lessons to meet these goals. Five stars!
I have had both group and private classes for singing with Will. He is one of the kindest and most patient people I've ever met. His positive attitude and in depth knowledge make him a a great teacher. He has a brilliant ear and techniques that create improvement you can see instantly. I have seen him teach every level, and he treats everyone with the same care and respect.
In terms of songwriting I have seen a musical he co-wrote, so I have no doubt of his skills in that field also.View more recommendations
