Short, focused practice every day beats long sessions once a week. Twenty minutes with a clear plan is enough for steady progress: a short warm-up, one technical exercise, slow work on new material and a quick review of what you already play.
Do not play a piece from beginning to end again and again. Pick the two or three bars that go wrong and repeat just those, slowly, until they are comfortable. Then connect them to the bars before and after.
Practise at a speed where you can play without mistakes. Increase the tempo only in small steps. A metronome helps you keep an even pulse and see real progress.
Look at the fingering, the rhythm and the shape of the phrase before you play. Counting aloud or tapping the rhythm first saves a lot of repetition.
A short phone recording shows what you cannot hear while playing: uneven rhythm, rushed endings, unclear passages. Listen with the score in front of you.
Choose a fixed time and keep the piano open and ready. On busy days, five minutes still counts. Regular contact matters more than perfect sessions.
In a live lesson the teacher sees how you sit, how your hands move and how you practise, and corrects small habits before they become hard to unlearn. You also leave with a clear plan for the week instead of guessing what to work on.
In lessons with Mirco Lieber you agree on goals at the start and get clear practice instructions after each lesson. The first 30-minute trial lesson is free and non-binding.

Twenty to thirty focused minutes a day is enough for most adult learners. Regular short sessions work better than one long session a week.
Isolate the few bars that go wrong, play them hands separately and slowly, then join them with the surrounding bars and raise the tempo in small steps.
Yes, for technique and for passages that rush or drag. Start slowly and increase the tempo gradually.
Do a short warm-up and one small section of your piece. Even a few minutes keeps the habit and the progress going.
