About Charles
As a tutor, I had been accomplishing many years of experience in music on campus and off campus. I also have been doing musical gigs and recital performances as additional experience, and I will transfer these musical experiences into my teaching deliveries. Finally, I was born and raised from a musical family, which will also help me teach to the best of my ability.

My teaching techniques are crossover. I can do traditional teaching (face-to-face, whiteboard, etc.) without use of any devices, and I can also do virtual teaching, especially on Zoom.
The lessons focus on mainly one-on-one engagements where a student for the first time lesson will be given questions to answer. After placing the student to the appropriate level, I will give future tutorings/lessons as needed to fit the level the student was placed in.
I can also present lecture-style and master-class presentations in some of my music teachings, especially in performance.
The lessons will focus on mainly advanced students, but I am also open to those who are not advanced students.
What sets me apart as a tutor is my long-time experience in the music performance field as a keyboardist and composer. I have composed over 700 compositions, including music teaching pieces.
