Sean Williams has been connected to music as a listener, player, singer, writer, and ethnomusicologist for decades. She has been teaching guitar, voice, gamelan, and other classes at PSGW periodically since 1994, and believes in the wisdom of experiential learning as part of a community. Students tend to come away from her classes with an increased ability to function musically in a group, to laugh at their own mistakes, and to expand their sense of what constitutes tonality, rhythm, timbre, harmony, and coolness. She thinks the daily Slow Jam at camp is one of the best places to take low-stakes musical risks, no matter what your level is.
