My Specialties
I specialize in the theoretical aspects of music. I can break down the music into it's component parts, ie: phrases, overall structures, harmonic progressions. This allows me to pull out the deepest expression in music to add the "frosting" to the music. I am fluent in all styles and I am ready to help you to your goal!

Best music teacher I have ever had
Charles is a great clarinet teacher. He was very patient, supportive, and interested in helping me progress as a student of the clarinet. He showed me techniques to use to overcome various problems with breathing, articulation, fingerings, etc. I rate him at A+ as an instructor. I intend to continue lessons with him after the first of the year. He is definitely the best music teacher I have ever had.
