About me
William Baker has been playing piano since he was eight years old. Before entering college, William auditioned and was selected as the Arkansas Symphony Youth Orchestra’s pianist. His solo repertoire during that year also won him best in class for the Searcy Community School of Music’s solo festival, a seat in the Music Teacher’s Association of Central Arkansas’ Honor’s recital, and a scholarship to attend Harding University.
William performed memorized solo recitals of 25 minutes his junior year and 50 minutes his senior year during college. He is a two-time winner of the Queen Piano Award, a scholarship for college piano majors in the Central Arkansas area. He was also hired to play piano parts for the Searcy High School string orchestra, CrossPointe Preparatory School's choirs, and accompanied other teacher's students. He has been the pianist for First Baptist Church in Cabot since July 2025 and ran choir at HOPE Co-op during the 2025-2026 school year.
William began teaching independently in 2019 and taught under Searcy Community School of Music from Fall 2021-Summer 2026. During his time at Harding, he took classes in Independent Studio Teaching, Piano Pedagogy, Studio Internship, and Music Literacy.
William holds a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from Harding University. He was a student of Dr. Scott Carrell from February 2018 until May 2025.
