Having started classical piano and classical organ at age 8, I wanted to recapture my playing (after 50 years of a busy life during which I didnt play.)
I am thrilled with my progress even at age 71, due to Charles
excellent instruction and his patience.

Charles is an excellent music teacher and I highly recommend him. Charles is very positive and optimistic; he inspires me to grow and evolve my playing, and practice smarter rather than harder. Charles has deep musical expertise and experience, as well as well-honed and thoughtful teaching methods; he is very patient and flexible, and he meets a student where they are. Each lesson is the highlight of my week!
