Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Carl Eden and I have been teaching piano to both young and old for over 30 years.
From the age of 9 I knew that I wanted to teach music and, in 1991, after taking a degree in music and a diploma in piano playing, I finally became a PGCE qualified music teacher. In the intervening years I have run various school music departments in the UK and have worked as a music standards verifier for one of the UK's premiere exam boards, Edexcel, working with schools and colleges to deliver effective music programmes. In 2015, I decided to leave mainstream education to focus on private piano teaching.
I quickly realised that I didn't like any of the existing adult piano primer books and so one of my students said, "Well write your own then!" This led to my first video course, "An Accelerated Piano Course for Beginners," which now has over 6000 students across various online learning platforms.
I pondered this for a long time. The video course format is a one way street - information travels from the instructor to the student - but I knew from experience the learning process is a 2 way dialogue in which the student asks questions and presents what they have learned for constructive advice in order for them to improve and move forward confidently.
My mission is to give you that 2 way experience by allowing learners to ask as many questions as you need to plus, crucially, get feedback and encouragement on your playing either in a community discussion group, by one-to-one private chat, by live video drop-in sessions and even by live one-to-one mini lessons, depending on your preferred method.
What My Students Have to Say
“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. I can't recommend this course enough!”
Peter Flemberg
“This course was a delight. Carl Eden's instructions are informative, funny, and easy to follow. He has a real talent for teaching and I found I was able to absorb the lesson material very easily. The class itself is not simple, however. Carl takes you through a lot of important piano techniques and urges you to slow down and really learn them. Even as a complete beginner, if you follow him, you will certainly have a solid foundation to play piano. And above all else, the class is fun!”
Chloe Gibson
Lo“Being a multi-instrumentalist I was immediately impressed at how much attention is given to musicality from the start - and not just typing notes. Also, the explanations of fingerings and hand positions are wonderful. The arrangements are perfect for us beginners on piano. From experience, it is so much better to play something well at your level than stumbling through something above your level and repeating mistakes. Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher.”
