Course Description

A WELL-QUALIFIED AND FRIENDLY TEACHER

Hi, I'm Carl and I have been a piano teacher for over thirty years. I have a degree in music, a postgraduate degree in teaching and I hold a piano diploma through the Victoria College of Music.


PRIMER BOOK INCLUDED WORTH £9.99

Through my specially written 50 page piano primer book, full of engaging pieces and downloadable as part of the course, you will learn the basics of the art of playing the piano. Lesson by lesson I will discuss and demonstrate each piece, showing you the tricks and time-savers to maximize your practice. This is the same book that I use with my private students.


GETTING YOUR HANDS ON THOSE KEYS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE

Before you know it, in fact before you learn to read a note, you will be working on your first tune. As you move on to reading simple music you will learn how to practice in ways that support progress rather than waste time; learn how to read music with ease, going beyond letter names to utilize the underlying shapes of melodies; learn how to move around the keyboard with confidence using hand positions to allow you to keep your eyes on the music as much as possible - a sure way to succeed quicker; and learn how real music is about so much more than the individual notes.


FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT

Like my private students, the issues you face as you progress through the course will be different from the next person. Because of this, feedback is extremely important. Therefore, as part of the course, you will have the opportunity to send me videos for critiquing plus I will always be on hand to answer any questions you might have.


REAL PIANO LESSONS

This is a deep dive into piano playing that will set you up for playing the piano music of some of the great composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Bach and will give you pleasure for years to come.

All in all my piano method is the next best thing to having one-to-one piano lessons, but at a fraction of the cost and with the ability to schedule your learning to times that suit you.


Don't put it off any longer, there's no time like the present and with a 30-day money back guarantee there's no risk. Start your wonderful journey into the world of the piano today.

He’s absolutely perfect. I’m 65 and I feel I’m learning. I haven’t finished the course yet. But, so far 10 out of 10.

By Laurence McGlenn on 7/3/2024

So far so good but expect it will get harder I'm taking my time and sticking with it

By Deirdre Zebron on 1/15/2024

Exellent no rush perfectly explained which is good if one is begining at a very late age

By Ali Reza Yazdian on 7/6/2023

I am beyond thrilled with the progress I've made. Carl's explanations of piano techniques are very detailed and easy to follow. I've seen a remarkable improvement in my playing from the very beginning and as I approach the end of the course, I can't contain my excitement about playing the final piece. I feel confident that the lessons I've learned so far have prepared me well, making it feel like a breeze!

By Petter Flemberg on 3/23/2023

A friend told me about this course and I checked the preview! I was instantly hooked! Carl has a ton of charm and he is an absolute delight! Not only is he a great musician, he is also a teacher who loves to teach! His lessons are well structured and easy to follow. Sound and image quality are amazing! Editing is also great! I can't recommend this course enough!

By Ashutosh Mishra on 9/26/2021

As an adult learner, this is just what I wanted, your primer is brilliant, Thanks!

By Çağrı Gürkanlı on 9/18/2021

If you are a full beginner who knows nothing about playing the piano but willing to try it out, look no further than this course. Carl is simply excellent as a teacher and always greatly helpful if you want to ask any questions. Just take your time with course, though. I think that it should take one to finish this at least six months. Better if it takes more. Highly recommended!

By Deepak Bhari on 1/21/2021

Great course and great teacher, i’m about 3 quarters of the way through but have paced myself and played slowly along with a metronome for some pieces. I still will continue going through and watching the videos again and playing the pieces along with the sheet music. I waited until i was this far to give a rating, but i’m really happy with where i’m up to.

By Thouvei Maio on 6/8/2020

It is a good course.It really helped me a lot.I didn't know how to read the piano notes before taking this course.This course's teacher is gifted i guess because he teaches everything in a good,interesting and fun way.It is more better than i expected.This course was a good match for me.I like it very much!

By Trudy B on 5/11/2020

Great course & teacher. This course has valuable information in it that has greatly improved my playing and understanding on how to effectively practice. eg Practicing by overlapping the measures instead of in two measures at a time. Mr Eden also answers questions in a timely manner and is very helpful, courteous and encouraging as a teacher.
