Bill Parker (Bethlehem, PA) has played guitar since age 16 and later added mandolin, bass, banjo, fiddle, and dobro. He first caught the bluegrass bug at a jam circle in Easton, PA and decided to jump in feet first and immerse himself as a primary hobby. Years later you now will find him singing and playing mandolin and guitar for the Big Valley Bluegrass band as well as hosting numerous jams, pickin’ parties and workshops in the Lehigh Valley area. On top of teaching music, Bill has also instructed Tae Kwon Do and coached ice hockey for 10 years.
“Bill makes learning easy.”
“A worthwhile, valuable, and enjoyable experience. Bill was able to meet everyone’s needs, pushing us all into an ‘uncomfortable’ zone while feeling safe to make mistakes, opportunities to repeat, reinforce, review and make progress each lesson. I can hear that we have all grown in our musical skills.”
“Bill was very supportive and encouraging throughout. He helped put those who were very nervous at ease.”
“Playing bluegrass music is so much fun for me, now that I know how to use the fretboard.”
