Janna Williamson
Hi there! If we haven't met, I'm Janna, and I am a pianist and teacher in the suburbs of Chicago. I have always loved to perform. While my students might not all love it as much as I do, I seem to have a knack for helping them become confident, reliable performers. Now I delight in helping other teachers do the same.
I hold both a bachelors and masters degree in piano performance and I've been an MTNA Nationally Certified Teacher for nearly 20 years. I take my music-making and my teaching very seriously, but I also hope to find joy and laugh a lot along the way.
Want more comprehensive training in teaching your students to perform?
"Teaching Historical Style" is one module of my larger course linked here. If you want to explore a range of topics such as memorization, performance anxiety, and more, please check out Preparing Confident Performers here:

Read MoreWonderful overview of historical musical eras! The tie ins between the music and culture of the time was very interesting. I can see how that will help students really understand and get excited to perform historical pieces. Janna's teaching style is clear and straightforward while also giving the technical depth needed to help me feel more confident in teaching historical repertoire. I am thankful Janna created this course and I look forward to learning more from Janna!

Read MoreVery informative, and more important, inspirational. Love Janna's relaxed yet specific delivery, as well as sharing her personal loves and anicdotes. (My favorite story was about the kids who practiced dissonant pieces much to their mother's chagrin.) I think one or two short performance examples to demonstrate different concepts within each period would make the course even better. Thank you Janna.
