Charles Roland Berry (born 1957 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American composer. He studied music history and music composition at the University of California with Peter Racine Fricker. Fricker taught him the intricate details of serialist music, and to discipline his musical imagination. He was not the best of students, due to his enthusiastic attitude and very short attention span. Later on, in 1982, he met Paul Creston in San Diego, California, and studied composition with him for one year.
