Robert Williams exemplifies the 3 P's Professionalism, patience, and persistent. I have had the opportunity to work with him for about 3 years and I have grown musically as well as professionally.
Robert is a competent worship leader, music teacher. His teaching of vocal technique, listening skills, and the importance of physical and spiritual health have transformed our music ministry team.
I've been studying with Mr. Williams for about 3 years now. My voice and vocal ability have much improved and my shyness is a distant memory. I was stuck in my career just singing background but with Mr. Williams instruction I am now singing as a lead soloist.
