  • "Charlie is a great teacher. He is very patient with me, which I need as a newer guitar student. He makes our lessons fun and informative. I've definitely enjoyed working with him and recommend him to anyone looking to learn." -Bailey H.
  • "I've been taking lessons with Charlie for a couple of months now and everything has been running really smooth and I've learned a lot. Since day one he always had great lessons planned with a lot of different exercises to practice and even theory, so I'm learning the background too. I think the best characteristic about Charlie would be how comfortable he will make you feel. Even when I would mess up 20 times in a row, he kept a great attitude and kept working until I could get it right. Charlie is a great teacher and a great friend with a passion for music."   -Logan S.
  • "Charlie was great, working with my 8 year old. He is super patient and always on time!" -Jessica M.

  • "I can honestly say Charlie has been an awesome teacher! I had a specific goal in mind when I wanted to take up guitar lessons on an improbable timeline.

He detects areas where my 15 yr old needs to improve, teaches him new material as well as helps my son with his own goals.

  • "My son has had his first couple of lessons and he is really enjoying it. Charlie is very nice and works well with young children. At this time, he is teaching my son chords and the basics of playing the guitar. Charlie is very patient and has a great knowledge and talent in music. I look forward to my son learning how to play the guitar, and developing a love of music as well." -Kadria B.
  • "Though I have played guitar for a number of years, Charlie is helping me expand my knowledge of musical theory on the guitar. Beyond learning the basics of chords and scales, Charlie is helping me see the fretboard in a more manageable way and putting a method to the madness. Would recommend to any musician looking to hone their craft and take their playing to the next level." Justin G.
