Your instructor was mistaken. You should remain with ground control until
ready to request takeoff clearance unless told otherwise.

Agreed. I have noticed at quite a few airports that the tower likes to
handle the crossing of active runways. If this is the case, Ground should
have instructed you to contact the tower when holding short at Charlie.

If the runway were obviously clear and it looked like I'd been forgotten, I
would have contacted Ground and reminded them that I was holding short of 23L.
Since you were holding for landing traffic, it's quite possible that Ground
would have instructed you to continue your taxi once the landing traffic was
clear.
