Colin - Your piano teacher

With over a decade of experience in teaching piano/keyboard, I am Colin Eboku, you go-to online tutor for engaging piano lessons. I specialise in learning to play and understand music by ear i.e. listening to a song a couple and being able to replicate the same level of performance. I also train in composing of songs and reharmonisation of music. I focus on personalised learning, creating a specialised learning plan for each student depending on their age, skill level and speed of learning as all students are different and no single technique fits all. With a strong emphasis on individual practice, I ensure that all the music we learn is of interest to each student with examples selected by the student. I welcome all questions from the students. Join me to explore the world of piano. This journey promises to enhance your confidence and skill and will expose you to the vast world of music that will keep your passion ignited. Book your lessons today and unlock you full creativity with me, Colin Eboku

My tutoring approach integrates creativity, fun, theory and engaging ear training for personal enjoyment or even community style playing. I start each learning journey by understanding the student, their skill level, their music goals and their commitment to learning. This allows me to create a customised learning plan for each student. Following this learning plan, each lesson will consist of a new concept or revision of an old concept and an exercise to be completed by the student. Since piano playing is a skill built on hours of personal practice, I provide a regimen and recommended number of hours of practice for each student to complete each week. Students can share progress through videos of their practice sessions. I also utilise a mix of tools like apps and websites to expand the base of knowledge from which we learn and creates an interactive learning experience. I aim to ensure that the student achieve their set learning outcomes and not just breeze through the lessons without any growth all while maintaining their love for the instrument.
