Introduction
Welcome to Your Musical Journey Hi, I’m Charles Neal, and I’m passionate about helping students unlock their full musical potential. With over 20 years of teaching experience and a lifetime dedicated to music, I offer personalized music lessons in Portland, OR, designed to meet your unique goals and interests. Why Learn with Me? Extensive Experience: My journey in music includes decades of performing, composing, and teaching, as well as earning an Associate’s Degree in Professional Music from Berklee College of Music. A Passion for Teaching: What I love most about my work is helping students discover their creativity and build confidence in their abilities. Watching someone light up when they achieve a breakthrough is the most rewarding part of what I do. Comprehensive Lessons: I teach piano, drums, djembe, marimba, and synthesizer while also covering advanced skills like improvisation, reharmonization, and music composition. For those interested in production, I provide training in audio production and engineering. Flexible and Engaging Methods: My lessons are customized to fit your learning style and goals, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills. Together, we’ll create a plan that’s both effective and fun. Unique Expertise: My background in both traditional music education and modern technology gives me the tools to teach not just how to play, but how to produce and record music—expanding your creative possibilities. What Makes Me Different? I strive to make each lesson an inspiring and enriching experience. My teaching goes beyond technique to help students cultivate a genuine love for music. You’ll find a welcoming environment where you can explore your potential and grow as a musician. I’d love to help you on your musical journey. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to take your skills to the next level, let’s work together to make your goals a reality. Let’s Get Started! Contact me today to schedule your first lesson.

Charles is a true musician and he has infectious enthusiasm for the piano. He gets along great with my neurodivergent children and keeps them engaged and motivated better than any of the teachers we have worked with before.
