Award winning guitarist, teacher and band leader in Madison since 2007.
Having taught guitar and bass in various settings since 2012 (The Goodman Center, Boys and Girls Club of Madison, Drums 'n Moore (Monona), Monroe St. Arts Center) has given me the confidence to continue independently from my east side studio as of 2021.
I have a three prong approach that will get you major results within 6 months:
1. Helping you unlock your ears to hear and identify all the musical intervals with my "emotional ear training" course (comes with pdfs and mp3s to practice at home). Note: this is not "perfect pitch" training - that cannot be taught. This is even better!
2. Rudiments and how to practice them, including reading music, "Tab," and music theory (yes, even the pros still practice rudiments late into their careers!)
3. My two semester "Triads Boot Camp" course (with pdfs) to get you playing all over your instrument quickly! All of this will pair with your genres of interest, be it Pop, Blues, Folk, Classical or Jazz.
All skill levels are welcome, from teens to seniors! I currently have openings on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I also have parking available.
In music we trust,
Charlie
