Introduction
My name is Charlie Akers, and I am a local musician who has been professionally teaching and playing music for over a decade. My experiences in both performing and teaching has solidified my belief that music is one of the most valuable and rewarding hobbies one can pursue in their lifetime. Being a parent, you want the best for your child. Not only do you want them to grow and develop in a healthy and intellectually stimulating way, but you want them to be happy and full of positive self-esteem. Music education is the perfect vehicle for accomplishing these things. Not only is it intellectually and analytically stimulating, but it is truly fun and rewarding. I have worked with many children of all ages, and their parents have reported a very positive response since beginning lessons. If you take a look at statistics regarding the positive impact of music education, they reiterate the same point: music is a fun and rewarding life-long hobby that has a multitude of positive side-effects. I would be honored to be a guide for your child in their musical journey. And those of you who are a bit older who would like to start your own journey, the same applies! I look forward to hearing from you!

Charlie is an excellent teacher! He is very patient and keeps you engaged. I had absolutely no musical background before learning how to play guitar but Charlie was able to simplify and personalize the lessons for me, I was able to play after the first lesson! I highly recommend him, he’s a skillful musician and an amazing teacher!

I’ve been taking lessons with Charlie for a few weeks now and I have absolutely zero complaints! I was extremely nervous our first lesson, but I already feel like I’m progressing. I’m 26yrs old and I haven’t learned a new instrument in years. I’m working through the learning curve. I’ve been playing woodwind instruments for about 15 years and this is 100% a new feel, however, Charlie has been extremely motivating and encouraging. He expects me to make mistakes but challenges me to learn from them. He gives very helpful constructive feedback. He is hands down one of the best music instructors I’ve had and one of the best musicians I know. His enthusiasm for music is contagious. I will say that Charlie sees the potential in his students, so he expects that we are practicing on a regular, consistent basis to improve. I highly recommend Charlie to anyone no matter your age or skill level!

For the first 2 months lessons have been great with Charlie. We have spent a lot of time learning the why behind the how which has helped me tremendously. I enjoy our lessons and have grown leaps in a short amount of time. You can tell her enjoys teaching and is very responsive to questions outside of class. I would highly recommend.
