TESTIMONIALS
“Two years ago, I saw your work in New York, and I was filled with the courage to create the choir.
I never imagined that two years later, you would be in the audience at our first concert.
Thank you for being our inspiration. ”
Charlie Beale, you are da bomb! I was so impressed by the last concert...once again. You’re the best Director the chorus has had.
You really understand the animal of 200 volunteers, and how to get the best out of them. And the number of younger members you’ve recruited has been such a contribution.
Dan Diggles, NYCGMC Bass
You turned us into something dynamic and relevant again …

“Thank you for lending Charlie Beale to us down here in Hobart, Tasmania.
I had the good fortune to attend his 4 day workshop and participate in several concerts with a choir composed of queer choirs from all over Australia. He’s a magnificent teacher and thanks to him we rocked big time!
… you are so lucky to have Charlie … Respect! ”
“He is one the most effective jazz educators in the UK today …
His pioneering work on the design and delivery of jazz education syllabuses has helped bring about a step change in the quality of jazz education at all levels, not only in the UK but internationally, ie Malaysia, Singapore, Australia among other countries. …
He has that most precious of skills; he gives students of all ages the confidence to believe that most things are possible.”
“Dr Beale has enabled developments to be taken forward here that would have been unthinkable without him … Not only has he spearheaded the growth of jazz teaching but he has integrated this genre within aspects of the general curriculum of the College in innovative and imaginative ways.”

“Dr Charles Beale has been a keynote presenter, introducing jazz exams to many hundreds of teachers. His scholarship and expertise have enthralled audiences, and he is a first-choice presenter for our numerous jazz professional development courses.”
“Hello, Charlie, So I hear you are stepping down from directing the Chorus. You gave me the opportunity to experience so many beautiful moments and dreams, and for that I will never forget you. … Your visionary work and leadership will be forever remembered and admired.”
