About Me

Charlie is a dedicated, passionate music instructor from New Haven, CT. He has recently relocated to Northern Colorado to play guitar and sing for his funky original project, Carbonated Insight. Charlie has aspired to be a music educator since he first started playing music and has been giving casual lessons to friends for almost as long. He has studied and performed with prominent Connecticut musicians such as Tim Palmieri and Greg Sherrod and is currently pursing a degree in music.   All styles of music are welcomed, especially Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Bluegrass, Country, Reggae, Funk, Jam, R&B, and Hip-Hop. All age groups are encouraged to study with Charlie and he works very well with children. He primarily teaches guitar and voice, but is qualified to give beginner lessons on bass, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, and piano.   His custom lesson plans are designed to push his students enough for them to make great progress while keeping a light atmosphere that makes learning fun! Charlie is patient, friendly, and extremely excited about music. Allow him to share his passion and love of music with you to awaken your inner musician as he gives you all the tools you will need to continue progressing long after lessons with him have ended.

Review:

Greg Sherrod Vocal Couch for Advanced and Professional singers

Charlie is an amazing guy. Kind determined and dependable. I know Charlie 's whole family and I vouch for his character and sensibility. As a voice teacher Charlie should be fine for teaching beginners proper technique. I am also a resource for Charlie when he runs into a challenge. Charlie is a good guy. He'll do well. wrote on Thu, 21 Jul 2016

    Charles is awesome!

    Our instructor is fantastic. My son loves his lessons and has learned to play in a very short period of time. I'm completely impressed with this method of teaching music. Cyane Tornatzky wrote on Mon, 12 Apr 2021
