Mihaela Williams

I was born in Bucharest, Romania, where I began studying music at the age of 5 years. My grandfather introduced me to the piano and my parents encouraged me to sing. All my life I have been surrounded by music. I attended Music Kindergarden, Music Elementary School and Music High School. After I graduated High School I entered the Music Conservatory in Bucharest in the Music Composition class. I studied there 2 years, after which my family and I moved to the United States.           In 1987 I was admitted to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and after 2 1/2 years graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Composition. Presently, I work as a piano teacher, composer, and pianist.           I have taught private piano lessons for over 25 years and voice lessons for the past 4 years. Along with piano I also teach basic and advanced music theory. I’ve accompanied many church choirs, conducted and trained adult and children choirs over the years. I’ve also had many public performances and concerts as a piano soloist and as the choir conductor. I record piano and orchestral accompaniments for different group singers and individuals. I regularly write and print music using Sibelius 7.0 software and record music on a Yamaha Clavinova CVP-703. I’ve recorded 13 personal CD’s and have been running Mihaela Williams Music as a home business for the past 20 years.  Education         George Enescu Music Elementary School in Romania           George Enescu Music High School in Romania           Music Conservatory in Bucharest Romania 1984-1986           University of Southern California –Bachelor’s Degree in Music Composition 1986-1989
