Take guitar/bass/music theory lessons from an experienced, award winning performer in Madison, Wi! First lesson is on me.

I’ve been playing guitar for nearly 20 years and recently started to get into jazz. I was looking for a teacher to help push me over various roadblocks in my progression and I’m very happy I found Charlie. Super friendly and knowledgable guy who is genuinely invested in helping you achieve your guitar playing goals! He’s a skilled player who knows how to bring his understanding of the guitar to his students in a clear, succinct, and understandable way. Also, he is very attentive to make sure you understand the material and gives good assignments. On top of that he’s communicative, flexible in scheduling, and is dedicated outside of lesson times in preparing materials for his students. I’ve had various teachers throughout my life, and Charlie certainly is top notch! Highly recommend

As an older adult student, I was initially apprehensive taking music lessons.
Charlie made the experience incredibly rewarding. His patience, expertise, and ability to tailor lessons to my pace and interests have been invaluable. Charlie creates a supportive and encouraging environment that makes learning enjoyable and effective.
One of my music goals was be able to play up and down the fret board. With a series of lessons from Charlie, progressively I began to do just that and I was having fun doing so.
I highly recommend Charlie for anyone looking to learn guitar and ukelele, regardless of age!

I highly recommend Charlie as a guitar instructor for students of all levels. He has an impressive ability to adapt lessons to individual learning styles and create a supportive and engaging environment that fosters growth and creativity. I had not played the guitar for many years. Charlie has helped me regain certain and improve on certain techniques. He has helped me improve my sight-reading . Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced player looking to refine your skills, Charlie provides personalized guidance that keeps lessons fun and motivating.

Charlie is patient, kind and understanding. He took my daughter from a complete novice to someone who’s able to manipulate notes and strum patterns on her own and make the songs she plays unique. I would highly recommend Charlie to anyone who is thinking of learning to play guitar.
