The Mat Creedon Piano Method
The Mat Creedon Piano Method
The Mat Creedon Piano Method is a clear, practical approach to learning piano that integrates playing, reading, and understanding music at the same time.
This method has grown out of decades of real-world teaching with children, teenagers, adults, beginners, and returning players. It is designed to reduce confusion, mental overload, and unnecessary memorisation, replacing them with patterns, relationships, and understanding.
Rather than treating technique, sight-reading, and music theory as separate subjects, this method brings them together in a single, logical system.
What this method focuses on
- Understanding the keyboard through patterns and intervals
- Learning to read music without guesswork
- Developing confidence in key signatures and scales
- Building strong foundations through slow, thoughtful practice
The emphasis is on clarity, consistency, and calm progress — not rushing.
