Here’s what students have said about guitar lessons with Chuck.

“Chuck is a wonderful teacher: his passion for guitar matches his passion for teaching. He has a gift — or perhaps it comes from his deep understanding and experience of music — for breaking learning down into easily-grasped learning blocks that build on each other. And they give the learning the joy of playing real music from the beginning!” — Claire M.

“Chuck’s patient and easy going teaching style makes it fun to quickly learn to play songs while understanding just enough guitar theory to accelerate learning over time. I had a lot of fun playing new songs with Chuck while beginning to grasp the reasoning for the chords’ structure and tricks to make them easier to play.” — Michael M.
