Charlie was wonderful and a definite enhancement to our NYE party! He was professional, punctual, responsive and best of all, a great musician and crowd pleaser. I’ve already hired him for another event three months from now!

Charlie was very patient with me since I did not know anything about playing music. I am looking forward to our future lessons.

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 has great lessons planned with a lot of different exercises to practice and he 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.
