About Charlie Franklin

My name is Charlie Franklin, and I am a drum teacher at Music and Arts.  I am new to the area.  I grew up in Pittsburgh where I played drums from an early age in parades and school dances.   I graduated from Penn State with a Bachelors degree in the Arts, and while there formed a rock band to play the bars and clubs off campus.

I moved to the Philly area where I continued to play covers and record original music. I’ve enjoyed playing in local bands at bars, clubs, churches and outdoor events.  I taught drum lessons for 4 years in the Philly area before moving to the Middletown area.  I currently play and sing with 2 bands and play on Sundays nearby at Connection Community Church.

I’d like to help others experience the joy of playing music.  There’s nothing quite like it.  Everyone learns differently and I tailor out time together to best fit your style and help you achieve your drumming goals!  Please contact our store to schedule a lesson!
