Live 1-on-1, Not Pre-Recorded Videos
You are not watching tutorials. Every lesson is a live, interactive session where Mirco sees your hands, corrects your technique in real time, and adapts to your pace. This is what makes real progress possible online.
Mirco Lieber: "Students often doubt that online lessons can work. They are surprised how clearly hand position and touch show up on camera. With weighted-key practice instruments, the results are outstanding, and my students around the world prove it."
What You Need to Start
- An instrument: ideally a digital or acoustic piano with 88 weighted keys (400-800 EUR for a good digital piano)
- A device with a camera and microphone (laptop, tablet, or smartphone)
- A stable internet connection and a quiet, well-lit space
- Optional: a music stand and external speakers for better sound
How Much Practice Do You Need?
20-30 minutes, 4-5 times per week is ideal for consistent progress. Even 15 minutes of focused daily practice beats a long session once a week. Mirco tailors your practice plan to your schedule and goals.
What Does an Online Lesson Cost?
Lesson prices depend on instrument, length, and format. The best way to understand the value is to book a free trial lesson and experience it yourself.
