What does a classical piano lesson online look like?

Short answer: A live 1-on-1 lesson on Zoom, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, built around the pieces you want to play: technique, reading, interpretation and practice notes afterwards.

Technique: posture, hand position, relaxed arm weight, fingering and pedalling, corrected live on camera.
Reading and theory: note reading, rhythm, harmony and form, introduced as the pieces need them.
Interpretation: phrasing, articulation, voice-leading and style, from Baroque to Romantic and early modern music.
Between lessons: every lesson can be recorded, and you get clear practice notes.

Which composers and pieces can I study?

Short answer: Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin and Debussy, from first easy pieces to advanced repertoire. You choose; Mirco builds the lessons around your pieces.

Beginners: easy classical pieces, Bach minuets and Little Preludes, Schumann's Album for the Young.

Intermediate: Bach Inventions, Mozart and Haydn sonatinas, shorter works by Beethoven and Schubert, Chopin preludes and waltzes.

Advanced: Well-Tempered Clavier, sonatas, nocturnes, impromptus and Debussy.

Why a harpsichord and organ background helps a pianist

Short answer: It trains what classical piano playing depends on: clear articulation, independent voices and a feeling for how a musical line is shaped.

The harpsichord has no touch-sensitive dynamics, so every phrase must be shaped through articulation and timing. The organ demands precise voice-leading and legato. Mirco brings both into piano lessons, which is especially valuable for Bach and the Classical masters: Baroque style and ornaments are taught the way they were meant to sound, and then translated to the modern piano.

Can I prepare for an exam or audition?

Short answer: Tell Mirco in the free trial lesson which exam, audition or goal you have, and the pieces, scales and sight-reading are planned around it. Every student is different, and results are not guaranteed.

FAQ: Classical piano lessons online

Can I learn classical piano online?

Yes. Over Zoom Mirco watches your hands, posture, fingering and pedalling and corrects them live. You play on your own instrument at home, lessons can be recorded, and you get practice notes after each session.

Do I need to read music to start classical piano?

Not at the very start, but reading is part of classical playing, so it is built up step by step from the first lessons. Complete beginners, adult returners and students who read a little are all welcome.

Why learn classical piano from a harpsichord and organ specialist?

Mirco holds a concert degree in harpsichord (MDW Vienna) and a master's in accordion (Ljubljana), and has studied organ. That background means a strong feeling for Bach, articulation, voice-leading and the way a line is shaped, which carries directly into piano playing.

Which classical pieces can I study?

Typical repertoire includes Bach (Little Preludes, Inventions, the Well-Tempered Clavier), Mozart and Haydn sonatinas, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Schumann and Debussy. You choose pieces you love and Mirco builds the lessons around them.

Can I prepare for a piano exam?

If you want to work toward a graded exam or a school or conservatory audition, say so in the free trial lesson. Mirco will look at the requirements with you and plan the pieces, scales and sight-reading accordingly.

Do I need my own piano?

You need a keyboard instrument to practise between lessons. A digital piano with weighted keys is ideal for classical repertoire, and Mirco helps you choose one that fits your hands, space and budget.
