“Charlie is an extremely talented musician and has the rare gift of making that knowledge easily accessible to his students. He is patient, supportive, and very focused on student success. His grounding in music theory in addition to his technical expertise makes him an excellent choice for students seeking a comprehensive musical education. I can't recommend him highly enough.”

The technique and ways of thinking I’ve learned from virtual lessons with Charlie have been carrying me through my continued learning in guitar as well as keyboard and composing music of my own. He provides tons of easy-to-use supplementary materials and is happy to tailor a regimen and curriculum to your exact goals in your musical journey.

I have always wanted to learn to play guitar but felt I never had the time. When the pandemic hit and I turned 50 years old, I bought a guitar and started looking for lessons. Charlie responded to my inquiry right away and we spoke on the phone. I then took my first lesson a few days later and two years later I am still taking lessons and able to play songs. Charlie teaches in a way that makes sense for those of us who have no prior musical background. I highly recommend Charlie for anyone who is even just thinking about playing guitar. You will not be disappointed.

I highly recommend music lessons with Charlie to anyone looking for instruction or gifts. Our son started lessons with Charlie and quickly learned several classic rock guitar riffs and chord progressions along with music theory. Charlie is an accomplished musician and an amazing teacher who inspires his students to learn every day. I highly recommend lessons with Charlie if you're looking for a new hobby or a thoughtful holiday gift.

Charlie is able to identify what someone likes about music and what makes them want to play in order to nurture and support passion. He is a patient, attentive, and experienced music teacher who has turned our son's interest in guitar into a true musical journey in less than 2 years!

My son has grown tremendously in his musicianship and confidence as a performing guitarist but just as importantly, Charlie has been a steady, positive presence in my son's life. Charlie teaches with humor, empathy, and flexibility, honoring his students' needs and preferences while still finding ways to push them past their comfort zones. Every other student of Charlie's whom I have met sings his praises. It's no wonder my husband followed in my son's footsteps and signed up for guitar with Charlie, too.
