<p>When Case was about four years old, his family moved to Gustavus, Ohio, where he lived the rest of his life. Case&#8217;s father was an accomplished violinist, and his grandfather, a Revolutionary War veteran, taught vocal music. By the time Charles was nine years old, a neighbor gave him a small violin which he mastered long before he could read music. At age 16, he began to go to singing school (without his parents&#8217; consent), borrowing the money from a neighbor.</p>
<p>His first vocal music instructor was a Mr. C.A. Bentley, a prominent conductor of the day. <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_b_r_bradbury_wb.html" >William Bradbury</a>&#8217;s <em>Jubilee</em> was the school textbook. For three winters in a row, Case attended Bentley&#8217;s singing school, working on his father&#8217;s farm in the summer. In 1866, Case, began studying with B.F. Baker in Boston, Massachusetts. He also studied under <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_r_o_root_gf.html" >George Root</a>, Carl Zerrahn, William Mason,
Carlo Bassini, <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_p_a_palmer_hr.html" >Horatio Palmer</a>, <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_b_l_bliss_pp.html" >Philip Bliss</a>, <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_e_m_emerson_lo.html" >Luther Emerson</a>, <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_w_e_webb_gj.html" >George Webb</a>, and others.</p>
<p>Soon after Case began teaching, the parents of <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_m_c_mcgranahan_j.html" >James McGranahan</a> moved to a house two miles from Case&#8217;s home, so the two young men became friends.</p>
<p>Case wrote and edited a number of Gospel song books in his life.</p>
