Lucian Williams 
Guitar, VOice, PIano, Bass, AND UKULELE INSTRUCTOR 

Lucian Williams is an alumnus of Berklee College of Music in Boston and former faculty member of the Hartford Conservatory .  He has performed as a solo pianist at many South Florida venues.  He studied guitar privately  George Benson and Chuck Wayne and has had a full time performing career of several decades as a guitarist, pianist, vocalist, bassist, arranger and orchestra leader. 
​ 
​His vocal studies have been with Jacqueline Jarrett and David Baker in Connecticut, Jane Ellison at Loyola University in Montreal, noted operatic tenor Carmine Gagliardi in New York City, and Gina Moretta (whose students have included Gloria Estefan and Jon Secada)  in Miami. 
Mr. Williams believes that by sharing his enjoyment of making music with his students, he can give them confidence in other areas.  That is because to achieve that enjoyment, they must go through a process of physical discovery  through practice. They are then empowered by experiencing the connections between inspiration, work, and pleasure.Making lessons as comfortable and enjoyable as possible while at the same time challenging students enough to make it interesting is Mr. William’s goal.  He builds the lessons around the individual’s interests (specific songs or styles) so that they can learn the technical fundamentals in a context relevant to them.    ​
