Who is this piano teacher page for?

Short answer: Adults who played piano years ago and want to return, adults who always wanted to start, and seniors aged 60 and over. There is no age limit, and you do not need to read music well.

Adult returners: You played as a child or a young adult and stopped. We find out what is still there, refresh reading, technique and rhythm, and move on to music you want to play now.

Adult beginners: You are starting from zero. You learn posture, hand position, first melodies and chords, with pieces you choose yourself.

Seniors (60+): Lessons follow your energy, pace and physical needs. Nothing is rushed, and you can repeat material as often as you like.

How do the first lessons work for someone coming back to piano?

Short answer: A free 30-minute trial lesson first, then a step-by-step plan: rebuild a relaxed technique, refresh note reading and rhythm, and work on repertoire you love, with practice notes after every lesson.

What is different about piano lessons for seniors?

Short answer: Lessons are tailored to your energy, pace and goals, with technique adapted to arthritis or stiffness, short 45-minute sessions, no pressure and no travel.

Mirco adapts technique for seniors, including students with arthritis, stiffness or other physical conditions: shorter practice sessions, relaxed hand positions and a gentle pace. As Mirco puts it: "I have taught students who started at 60 and 70. They practise with purpose and enjoy music deeply. Age is not a barrier to learning, it is simply part of your story."

What progress can you expect?

Short answer: Typically comfort at the keyboard in the first weeks, first familiar songs within about three months, and growing confidence with chords and reading over the following months. Every student is different, and this is not a guarantee.

Do you need a piano at home?

Short answer: You need a keyboard instrument to practise between lessons. A digital piano with weighted keys is ideal, and Mirco helps you choose one that suits your hands, space and budget.
