This is a very short lesson so that you can see how I teach my pupils.
Heather has only had a couple of lessons before the recording of this video.

  • Colin is a gifted and talented piano player as well as a really good teacher. He understands that people learn in different ways and adapts himself to make sure that the pupil is happy. He is a friendly, punctual teacher and I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

  • I too have lessons from Colin, although I am rather older than his star pupil in the video! Colin is as good at teaching adults as children, encouraging and helping to bring out the best in his students.

  • I have been having piano lessons with Colin for a couple of years now, I enjoy every one, and look forward to the next. Colin is able to find out what I don't know, and explain it in such an encouraging and kind way. I had piano lessons as a child, got as far as Grade III and then gave up. If only Colin had been around then! I now enjoy playing the piano and am amazed to find myself playing higher grade pieces now.

  • Colin is a gifted teacher and wonderful pianist. I gave up playing the piano in my teens and have now (in my mid thirties!) been having regular lessons with Colin for about 2 years. I am not ‘oh so’ far away from taking Grade 8... Colin has had to be very patient with me and gentle in his teaching methods. Always punctual, friendly and re-assuring - I would recommend Colin to anyone considering lessons from complete beginner to advanced.

  • I loved learning piano in my own home, on my own instrument, as a youngster. I think it's fabulous that you're willing and able to travel to people's homes. I would love to have you teach me electronic keyboard after teaching another family member piano. Your polite manners teach the proper way to dialogue, and remove all anxiety. Can I hire you to give driving lessons, too? Having followed your work on YouTube, and knowing your repertoire to include nearly every style of music, I can only say America's loss is the U.K.'s gain because there's no one I would prefer to study music with more than you, Mr Mitchell.

  • This is one of the most gentle ways I have ever seen a teacher work with his students.
