​ "Charles strikes just the right balance between teaching me things every guitar player should know and letting me decide what to learn. Since I started taking lessons as a beginner one year ago, I've improved, learning finger-picking technique, soloing, new chords, and much more. Charles is extremely motivating, we study together the songs and adapt it with respect to my skills and also to add my own personal touch. He is very professional, responsive and dedicated to his students. He is a great teacher, fluent in many styles, has a thorough knowledge of music theory, and keeps classes fun and very interesting. If you're looking for a warm, friendly and professional class to learn to play the guitar, this is where you want to go. GEORGES R. ( Beginner Student - 2018 Review - Thumbtack)​

"Charles is one of the nicest guys you'll meet. He has an upbeat, friendly attitude, and is also a fantastically skilled musician. I get so jealous when he illustrates a concept on his guitar with such ease. As a graduate of a music conservatory, I think Charles' level of musicianship is on par with musicians and instructors I've had in my prior training."

STUDENT REVIEWS 

​ "I think what I've realized so far with my lessons with Charles is that he's a really good communicator, and he also makes  adjustments very quickly. It's pretty clear at this point that his method to teaching is not a 'one size fits all', but more of it is driven  by where the student wants to go and what they want to accomplish. He then molds the information to that framework in order  to get the most mileage out of the lessons. I would highly recommend for someone who wants to get better, and have some fun in  the process."
