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.

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

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Guitar Lessons on Skype Live Music - Approximately 200/hr
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For live performance I like to know what type of music the client would like to hear and what artists they like. For lessons, I like to know what a student's goals are and structure the lessons towards achieving their goals. I make lessons fun while also teaching students essential musical skills and knowledge.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have played music for 15 years and have taught lessons and performed for 10 years. I have a Bachelors degree in music from Rollins college where I studied guitar and have experience playing live music and writing original music. I play multiple instruments including guitar, bass, singing, drums, and piano.
