Charlotte also teaches piano and music theory to students of all ages privately, at Stagecoach Performing Arts School and the Suzanne Richardson Singing Academy. She has published two educational piano repertoire books for children, Ten Terrific Tunes: Volume I and Ten Terrific Tunes: Volume II and writes the Easy Peasy Piano music education blog.
