Project Description

Charles McCampbell is a serious music lover and a private music instructor who has been committed to teaching students young and old the importance of developing their skills as performing artists, whether they are instrumentalists or vocalists.  He believes that a good definition of professional means to perform your ability with a high degree of excellence. Charles grew up in Michigan near Detroit, where there was a heavy emphasis on Motown music. He and his three brothers often performed and sang the great songs of Motown, which were sung by artists like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, etc. As a teen, Charles moved to New York City and had the opportunity to study drums and Afro/Cuban percussion for two years at a school in Manhattan called Jazzmobile. This awarded him the opportunity to perform at Town Hall and other famous venues in New York City. After touring and performing for several years, Charles reunited with his three brothers in Dallas, Texas. There, they formed a group commercially known as Mac Band. They were signed to a major contract with MCA Records. This awarded them more opportunities to tour and promote their albums all over the United States and abroad.  

Charles and his wife, Deborah, are proud parents of 5 musically gifted children who are also successful musicians. While in the Dallas area, Charles opened a school of music called Music Lovers. There, he still teaches private lessons along with three other teachers. Music Lovers offers lessons in guitar, bass guitar, voice, drums and percussion, congas and other hand drums, piano, violin, and viola. We have students of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. Charles is convinced that music is a universal language that is appreciated by people of every race, creed and color. While teaching music in the Dallas area, Charles also took an interest in health and fitness. He became a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and a Certified Trainer. He’s an advocate for good health and fitness. He also believes that good health will assist and encourage one to be a good musician and performer. As a man of faith, Charles was moved to write a book to encourage spiritual growth and maturity. He believes that a healthy balance between one’s physical, emotional, and spiritual life will result in peace within and a long, productive life.
