Quotes about Charley:
"Charley, is insane. Honestly I have no idea why I'm friends with him. And then it hits me, he makes me laugh like no one else can. And I'm grateful that he puts up with me." - Jolene Desilvo
"Oh Mr. Charley Brighty, you are my friend, my teacher, the reason I havent dumped music all together." - Aviva Locke
"Charley is young and extremely spirited. He's the last guy I would pick to be a teacher, but from what I hear he does it extremely well." - Hewitt Richardson
"He's a great guy really. You just have to keep up." - Jayden Kinkade
"Charley Brighty used to be my amazing music teacher. I remember during my independent singing lessons with him; he would come over and see if I was singing properly so he'd put his hands of my back and try to push me over. I probably could have died at that point of time. Now, I'm an alumni student but I still go over and clean his office. The whole room usually smells of lemon and lily when I get done with it. He still looks handsome and is still so much fun! I remember one time I read Lolita to him because he wanted me too. Wasn't that book about a teacher and a student in love? I bet my whole face was red." - Brielle DiBenedetto.
