Learning piano used to feel so difficult and stressful, but Charles in Holdeman made me enjoy it with his amazig teaching style. He’s so good with beginners who are too nervous to start and I do not regret my decisio at all.

Charles knows how to help students reach their potential. After struggling and failing ABRSM Grade 3 twice I joined his piano lessons in Victoria and with his support I finally passed with merit.

I came across Charles while I was walking through University Park and a student was playing Chopin and when I asked him who taught him that, he mentioned Charles . His classes are very structured and he knows what he is doing. His way of teaching helped me rediscover my passion and love for piano. We are currently learning some romantic pieces and he has really made me fall in love with music. Thank you Charles for your help.
