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 Do You Need to Start?
- An instrument: ideally a digital or acoustic piano with 88 weighted keys ($464-$928 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.

Short answer: ML-ECONOMIC EUR 145/month (approx. $168; 12x45 min over 4 months), ML-SERIOUS EUR 189/month (approx. $219; 4x45 min), ML-AMBITIOUS EUR 229/month (approx. $265; 4x60 min), each + EUR 5 Joining Fee (approx. $6), monthly and cancellable - with a free 30-minute trial lesson to start.
