Instructor

Preston Bell Charles III

  • Violin

For the past decade I have been offering private lessons at home, with my youngest student being 3 yrs old, to my most mature, being in their 60’s. Music education is something that I believe should be available to everyone, and catered to fit the needs and goals of those learning it. I had good teachers that pushed, encouraged, corrected, and challenged, but most importantly, really loved sharing music with others. It is a gift that we just have to reach out and acquire.
