GUITAR_BANJO LESSONS

Written By: Beth Williams Music

While living on Peshawar AFB in Pakistan at the age of thirteen, Beth Williams happened upon a lone GI on the bleachers of a deserted baseball field singing and playing his guitar.  It felt, she says, as if she had been hit by lightning.  Her destiny was sealed as she ran home to tell her parents she wanted to sing and play guitar. Her parents bought her a $10.00 guitar at the PX later that same year when they were relocated to Okinawa…and so the musical journey began.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN TO PLAY GUITAR or BANJO!

Beth believes if you have a passion in your heart to sing or play music, it’s very likely something you’ve been called to do in this life.  Many of her students – past & present – are now using their musical abilities to make a difference in the lives of others. 

Screenshot (87)At their very first lesson, students will learn to play a song!  Each week thereafter, Beth gives them new chords and a new song to practice for the following week.  She is also able to record the lesson for those who would like to have a recording to practice with.  For those wanting to sing, Beth will also put the songs in the correct key so the student can sing along while they practice. 

Using a Mackie PA System as a tool, she can teach those interested in live performances how to set up and tear down a sound system and give them information on where to buy equipment which would best suit their needs.

Equipped with Pro-Tools in her small studio, Beth has the capability to record clients singing to tracks, or playing their own instruments.  She can add drum tracks, play guitar, a little piano, bass and sing harmony where needed!
