About Charles
Since graduating with my degree in music education inspiring music enthusiasts of all ages has been a constant in my life. Many meaningful connections were made while teaching at local conservatories, schools as well as at the University level. My father was a swimming instructor, my mother worked at teacher’s payroll and my brother was principal until he retired. Although I enjoy performing and recording, enabling others musically is innate for me.

A typical lesson would include 4 categories: 1. Some "dexterity exercises" to warm up and foster good technique. 2. Some time on "reading", learning the symbols of music notation. 3. "Chords & Scales", the practical tools for strumming or playing melodies. 4. Playing songs you are "songs" that interest you. The content of each component would be determined by your preferences.

I have known Charlie Barfoot for many years and have hired him as a guitarist, arranger, producer and teacher. We have done numerous projects in his recording studio, Sea Bees Studio in Portugal Cove, NL. In all of these endeavours, Charlie has always shown sharp focus, and is one of the most dedicated and hard working artists I have ever known. He also has something that I find almost uncommon these days - imagination! He oozes creativity in all his artistic projects.
On top of being a Cracker Jack musician, he has a truly natural way of teaching you - no matter what he is doing, he just knows instinctively how to show you how do do it in a way that makes sense. Charlie has an excellent teaching style because he is so articulate and clear in his explanation of even the most technical details.
I would highly recommend Charlie Barfoot for Super Prof. You will be hard pressed to find a more supportive teacher, one who encourages and motivates you at every turn. His education, skill, and his extraordinary discipline speak for themselves. I know his students have a very high opinion of him and so many of them have gone on to launch their own music careers, utilizing the knowledge that Charlie so generously shared with them. Charlie Barfoot is a Super Prof, indeed, and best of all - he is a super guy!!!
