Your teacher
Hi, I'm Reeves.
I've taught pop piano since 2011, including at Yamaha Music Asia, Play By Ear Music School and Hark Music. Today I teach from home: most of my students join me on Zoom, and the rest come to my studio on a Bechstein A124.
All my students are adults, and many start as complete beginners. Rather than spending months on one song, you build skills you can use on any song.
Also a working pianist. Resident Pianist at Singapore Marriott Hotel, and a wedding pianist at the Fullerton, St Regis, Conrad Centennial and more.
What students say
I was skeptical about having piano lessons online but it really did work.
Pearleen Tan, who moved from face-to-face to online lessons
“His guidance is always very clear and easy to follow… My piano skills really improved a lot within a few short months.”
“I've attended lessons at music schools before but stopped due to the lack of flexibility that I needed as a working adult.”
“I have always wanted to learn piano since I was a child but did not get the chance. Now as an adult, I still have the dreams of learning how to play the piano.”
“Reeves is an extremely patient and encouraging piano teacher! … lessons are always very enjoyable and stress-free.”

Lessons
Two ways to learn
All one-to-one, all materials included, with a lesson plan built around you.
Every lesson
What happens in a lesson
A piano solo and an accompaniment
Every 45-minute lesson covers one pop song as a solo and one as an accompaniment, so you can play on your own or play and sing.
Skills that carry over
Left-hand patterns, harmonies and fill-ins from my four-level syllabus, applied straight to songs you chose.
A summary after every lesson
You get a lesson summary and your progress map, with every topic we've covered ticked off, plus recorded segments to practise with.
Left-hand patterns
Left-hand patterns in action
These are some of the left-hand patterns I cover in my course, from one steady pattern to several mixed in a single song. The pattern is shown above the score, and the keyboard below lights up as I play.
