Robert G. says, "I took lessons with Chuck for nine years. He taught me electric and acoustic guitar, electric bass, music theory, how to sing, and how to write songs. Chuck is receptive to whichever direction you want to take your learning. If you want to learn pop, punk, jazz, metal, classic rock, blues — you name it, he has you covered. If you want to learn a specific song in a given genre, Chuck can teach it to you and write out the tabs for you to reference between lessons. If you want to learn how to play in a new genre, Chuck can give you exercises and songs to develop your technique. He’s patient when you’re learning something new, and he’s happy to walk you through any sheet music to make sure you understand what’s happening and how to play it. Chuck has been instrumental in helping me develop my craft as a songwriter. He’s a killer songwriter himself, and he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to writing standout, professional songs. He offers lyrical critique, options for how to harmonize melodies, and sound advice on how and when to edit your musical ideas. He can also help you set the song in a key that sits comfortably within your vocal range. This makes a huge difference when you’re first learning to perform your own songs, because singing your songs well builds confidence as a singer-songwriter. If you’re thinking about taking lessons from Chuck, I think it’s worth a try. He has such deep knowledge of music that he can help you get wherever you want to go. It’s also a lot of fun to talk about the history of modern music and the impact different artists have had over the years." Read more

Jazz had a great attitude and chops so from the first moment I knew I was going to have a good time. Lo and behold she imparted knowledge on me that I still use today. She encouraged me to be a great bassist and I wouldn't be where I am today without her.
