"The Consumate Teacher"
CHARLES WILLIAMS

Charles Williams is the consummate teacher. He has the patience of Job, a warm and wonderful personality and the teaching skills of a master. I have worked with this man for 8 plus years and he gets better all the time. He has studied the voice all his life and passed his knowledge on to many folks. Whether it’s a choral group, a smaller more powerful group like Sweet Honey in the Rock or teaching daily classes at music camp, he is superb with his students. He is dramatic, focused and very passionate about teaching. We love him here at SAMW. - Dick Pleasants, WUMB Radio, University of Massachusetts, Boston
