Charlie is also an active performer and composer, working with numerous projects both locally and internationally, spanning the worlds of indie rock, pop, metal, jazz, and improvised music. Some of his notable credits include work with Amanda Palmer, Dirty Projectors, Mary Halvorson, William Parker, and Xiu Xiu. This eclectic professional background feeds into his highly-individualized approach to his students’ needs.

From advanced music theory to loose, informal jamming on just two chords, Charlie is always committed first and foremost to helping the student achieve their unique personal goals, while also expanding their horizons and tying in elements from across many genres and traditions. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or a fellow professional, Charlie will meet you right where you are, help you go where you want to go, and introduce many cool surprises along the way. #guitar #bassguitar #leadguitar #12andup

Daisy Press was born and raised on the buses, planes, and under the stage of the large-scale rock-and-roll tour where her parents were band members for over 35 years, so singing and making music with others inevitably feels like family to her.

She is an ardent and fierce performer in her own right, championing experimental classical music in NYC and in Europe with a prolific performance schedule, and also specializes in the music of Hildegard of Bingen, who was a visionary, polymath, and saint in Medieval Germany.

Daisy will star in her first large scale opera production in Seville, Spain, in March 2024.

She is just as passionate about teaching as performing, and instructs many styles of singing: pop, rock, classical, metal screaming, Broadway, overtone singing, chanting, and Hindustani (North Indian) classical music. The atmosphere of lessons is always deeply supportive, playful, irreverent, sometimes hilarious, and unfailingly honest. Daisy invites students to rediscover the utter simplicity of singing, while, through many patient repetitions, imparting technical and musical skills, and most importantly: showing students HOW to practice and HOW to focus by slowing down into the present moment. This kind of learning never ends, and it's liberating.

Our voices are like fingerprints of who we are, where we've been, and they can't help but tell the truth. They reveal to us, in the most visceral sense, our own vitality and wholeness. It's every human's (and many animals') birthright to sing, and the gifts that come from claiming this birthright in regular committed practice are unending. We just have to show up and start.

She is just as passionate about teaching as performing, and instructs many styles of singing: pop, rock, classical, metal screaming, Broadway, overtone singing, chanting, and Hindustani (North Indian) classical music. The atmosphere of lessons is always deeply supportive, playful, irreverent, sometimes hilarious, and unfailingly honest. Daisy invites students to rediscover the utter simplicity of singing, while, through many patient repetitions, imparting technical and musical skills, and most importantly: showing students HOW to practice and HOW to focus by slowing down into the present moment. This kind of learning never ends, and it's liberating.

Our voices are like fingerprints of who we are, where we've been, and they can't help but tell the truth. They reveal to us, in the most visceral sense, our own vitality and wholeness. It's every human's (and many animals') birthright to sing, and the gifts that come from claiming this birthright in regular committed practice are unending. We just have to show up and start.

To be confident about what class level is right for you, try playing along with the class graduation videos. If you can play along with the previous graduation video but not with the graduation video for this class, then you're in the right place!

Before your first class, try playing along with the the warm-up video which you will do in every class--there are 9 warm-ups, so be sure to select the correct level. Don't worry about fully understanding or mastering everything, just get used to it. (BTW to maximize your progress, use this video as a warm-up everytime you practice at home, too!)

If you are able to pass the graduation video check out our next class in the series!

Prerequisites:
You have completed Beginners 1, 2, & 3 or are comfortable with basic open chords, basic strumming patterns, and rhythm patterns like palm muting and bass strumming.

Charlie is also an active performer and composer, working with numerous projects both locally and internationally, spanning the worlds of indie rock, pop, metal, jazz, and improvised music. Some of his notable credits include work with Amanda Palmer, Dirty Projectors, Mary Halvorson, William Parker, and Xiu Xiu. This eclectic professional background feeds into his highly-individualized approach to his students’ needs.

From advanced music theory to loose, informal jamming on just two chords, Charlie is always committed first and foremost to helping the student achieve their unique personal goals, while also expanding their horizons and tying in elements from across many genres and traditions. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or a fellow professional, Charlie will meet you right where you are, help you go where you want to go, and introduce many cool surprises along the way. #guitar #bassguitar #leadguitar #12andup

Daisy Press was born and raised on the buses, planes, and under the stage of the large-scale rock-and-roll tour where her parents were band members for over 35 years, so singing and making music with others inevitably feels like family to her.

She is an ardent and fierce performer in her own right, championing experimental classical music in NYC and in Europe with a prolific performance schedule, and also specializes in the music of Hildegard of Bingen, who was a visionary, polymath, and saint in Medieval Germany.

Daisy will star in her first large scale opera production in Seville, Spain, in March 2024.

She is just as passionate about teaching as performing, and instructs many styles of singing: pop, rock, classical, metal screaming, Broadway, overtone singing, chanting, and Hindustani (North Indian) classical music. The atmosphere of lessons is always deeply supportive, playful, irreverent, sometimes hilarious, and unfailingly honest. Daisy invites students to rediscover the utter simplicity of singing, while, through many patient repetitions, imparting technical and musical skills, and most importantly: showing students HOW to practice and HOW to focus by slowing down into the present moment. This kind of learning never ends, and it's liberating.

Our voices are like fingerprints of who we are, where we've been, and they can't help but tell the truth. They reveal to us, in the most visceral sense, our own vitality and wholeness. It's every human's (and many animals') birthright to sing, and the gifts that come from claiming this birthright in regular committed practice are unending. We just have to show up and start.

To be confident about what class level is right for you, try playing along with the class graduation videos. If you can play along with the previous graduation video but not with the graduation video for this class, then you're in the right place!

Before your first class, try playing along with the the warm-up video which you will do in every class--there are 9 warm-ups, so be sure to select the correct level. Don't worry about fully understanding or mastering everything, just get used to it. (BTW to maximize your progress, use this video as a warm-up everytime you practice at home, too!)

If you are able to pass the graduation video check out our next class in the series!

Prerequisites:
You have completed Beginners 1, 2, & 3 or are comfortable with basic open chords, basic strumming patterns, and rhythm patterns like palm muting and bass strumming.

Charlie is also an active performer and composer, working with numerous projects both locally and internationally, spanning the worlds of indie rock, pop, metal, jazz, and improvised music. Some of his notable credits include work with Amanda Palmer, Dirty Projectors, Mary Halvorson, William Parker, and Xiu Xiu. This eclectic professional background feeds into his highly-individualized approach to his students’ needs.

From advanced music theory to loose, informal jamming on just two chords, Charlie is always committed first and foremost to helping the student achieve their unique personal goals, while also expanding their horizons and tying in elements from across many genres and traditions. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or a fellow professional, Charlie will meet you right where you are, help you go where you want to go, and introduce many cool surprises along the way. #guitar #bassguitar #leadguitar #12andup

Daisy Press was born and raised on the buses, planes, and under the stage of the large-scale rock-and-roll tour where her parents were band members for over 35 years, so singing and making music with others inevitably feels like family to her.

She is an ardent and fierce performer in her own right, championing experimental classical music in NYC and in Europe with a prolific performance schedule, and also specializes in the music of Hildegard of Bingen, who was a visionary, polymath, and saint in Medieval Germany.

Daisy will star in her first large scale opera production in Seville, Spain, in March 2024.

She is just as passionate about teaching as performing, and instructs many styles of singing: pop, rock, classical, metal screaming, Broadway, overtone singing, chanting, and Hindustani (North Indian) classical music. The atmosphere of lessons is always deeply supportive, playful, irreverent, sometimes hilarious, and unfailingly honest. Daisy invites students to rediscover the utter simplicity of singing, while, through many patient repetitions, imparting technical and musical skills, and most importantly: showing students HOW to practice and HOW to focus by slowing down into the present moment. This kind of learning never ends, and it's liberating.

Our voices are like fingerprints of who we are, where we've been, and they can't help but tell the truth. They reveal to us, in the most visceral sense, our own vitality and wholeness. It's every human's (and many animals') birthright to sing, and the gifts that come from claiming this birthright in regular committed practice are unending. We just have to show up and start.

To be confident about what class level is right for you, try playing along with the class graduation videos. If you can play along with the previous graduation video but not with the graduation video for this class, then you're in the right place!

Before your first class, try playing along with the the warm-up video which you will do in every class--there are 9 warm-ups, so be sure to select the correct level. Don't worry about fully understanding or mastering everything, just get used to it. (BTW to maximize your progress, use this video as a warm-up everytime you practice at home, too!)

If you are able to pass the graduation video check out our next class in the series!

Prerequisites:
You have completed Beginners 1, 2, & 3 or are comfortable with basic open chords, basic strumming patterns, and rhythm patterns like palm muting and bass strumming.

Charlie is also an active performer and composer, working with numerous projects both locally and internationally, spanning the worlds of indie rock, pop, metal, jazz, and improvised music. Some of his notable credits include work with Amanda Palmer, Dirty Projectors, Mary Halvorson, William Parker, and Xiu Xiu. This eclectic professional background feeds into his highly-individualized approach to his students’ needs.

From advanced music theory to loose, informal jamming on just two chords, Charlie is always committed first and foremost to helping the student achieve their unique personal goals, while also expanding their horizons and tying in elements from across many genres and traditions. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or a fellow professional, Charlie will meet you right where you are, help you go where you want to go, and introduce many cool surprises along the way. #guitar #bassguitar #leadguitar #12andup
