William Preston is pursuing his masters degree in collaborative piano at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the direction of Martha Fischer. He received his bachelor’s degree and a professional performance certificate from The Pennsylvania State University with Timothy Shafer. Coming from Bucks County, PA, Will has chosen to study collaborative piano because of the joy he feels performing on stage with friends and colleagues. Though the pandemic has introduced new challenges in the collaborative arts, figuring out how to overcome them has made for an even greater appreciation of the work we do and has made for a fantastic year. After this semester, Will will have completed his masters degree.
