Gareth Williams

Gareth Williams began his musical career with a strong interest in the keyboard, studying piano with Alan Granville and organ with Roderick Swanston, which led to the position of organist at Holy Trinity, Long Melford. Later his extensive study of singing led Gareth into a flourishing vocal career which took him all around the UK and onto Europe. He has been the recipient of numerous awards including scholarships to study in international Masterclasses in Wales and in Italy at the Tosti institute. Gareth has worked both in masterclass situations and privately with artists including Malcolm Martineau, Simon Over, Diane Forlano, Barbara Pearson and Penny Mackay. His unique combination of skills encompasses a thorough understanding of vocal technique, the ability to coach in a variety of languages and piano accompaniment at a high artistic level. Students have gone on to study at all the major conservatoires and frequently return for further coaching. The past ten years have seen Gareth help many university students achieve success in music performance modules at the UEA. For more information visit www.vocalcoach.org
