About Us
Gareth Williams started playing the cornet with the Natlle Vale Royal Silver Band when he was 9 years old. At that time things were not going to well for the Nantlle band and as a result he played with many of the other local bands in North Wales but always returned to the Nantlle band when the opportunity arose. He started giving lessons to other children of the Nantlle Band at the age of 16 and was appointed conductor of the band when he was 19 years old. The band then had 6 senior members and 4 junior members. Today the band has a full senior band , an intermediate band and a junior band. Gareth is still conducting the senior band and is involved with both the intermediate and junior bands. .
By today Gareth is a very keen tuba player, currently playing Bb bass with the Deiniolen band and tuba or euphonium with various local ensembles. Hence the reason for our catalogue having so many tuba solos.
In 1992 Gareth went to the University Of Wales Bangor as a mature student where he gained his B.Mus. Following this he qualified as a music teacher, worked part time as a brass tutor for the William Mathias Company in Caernarfon before becoming a special needs teacher and gaining a Masters in Education Qualification in 2004. He also has an M.Mus qualification.
