I'm Owen Chimuka. I help busy adult pianists, especially late starters or returning players, go from feeling stuck with their theoretical knowledge to feeling confident, free, and creative at the piano through jazz improvisation. This enables them to sound authentic, have fun every time they sit at the keyboard, and fully express their own musical ideas.

The Lie We Tell Beginners About Improvisation
Most people think great improvisers are just “naturally creative” and making things up out of thin air.
That belief is one of the biggest reasons beginners feel stuck.
In this video, I explain why improvisation is NOT magic — and what’s actually happening when great players improvise.

Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever felt like improvisation was out of reach.

Are you practising jazz piano every day… but still not playing the way you want?
I’ve just uploaded a new video where I break down why more practice doesn’t always lead to better results — and what actually helps adult pianists make real progress.
👉 In this video, you’ll discover:
• Why long practice sessions can slow you down
• What to focus on instead (even with limited time)
• How to start sounding more musical without practising more hours
If you’re an adult jazz piano student, a busy pianist, or someone who feels stuck despite knowing theory, this one is for you.
đź’¬ Question for you:
What’s the biggest frustration in your jazz piano practice right now?
