Student Voices
What students say, verified Google reviews.
The lessons with Mirco are exactly what I was looking for. We aligned the content and learning goals together at the start and made quick progress. The pace is just right, and questions are answered competently. The technique works wonderfully. I can highly recommend Mirco as a piano teacher!
As an intermediate player, I have been taking online lessons with Mirco for a few months now, and improving my piano skills with him has been a great pleasure. He is attentive to his students' needs and motivating when things get challenging.
Mirco is a very good and dedicated piano teacher. I enjoy the lessons enormously, they are always clearly structured. He takes great care to convey the content patiently and with great skill. You can tell that my progress genuinely matters to him.
Mirco is a truly outstanding piano teacher. He is an absolute professional who masters the instrument completely. He can teach a total beginner to play piano in the most natural, effortless way.
Mirco is a patient and professional teacher. He attends to the interests of my 9-year-old and creates a warm learning atmosphere. We are very satisfied with the lessons.
Top lessons and a top teacher! I am very satisfied with the piano lessons. He doesn't rush anything, goes through everything step by step and places real emphasis on the fundamentals. That is exactly the right approach.
From Baroque to Jazz,
All Styles, All Epochs
30+ years of teaching experience mean: I teach in your style. Classical epoch or modern genre, you choose, I adapt.

Polyphony, ornamentation, basso continuo. Counterpoint in the tradition of Bach.

Formal clarity, sonata form, homophony. The Viennese style.

Expression, virtuosity, song form, and the great piano repertoire.
Impressionism
Tone colour, whole-tone scales, floating harmony, and atmosphere.
Modern & Contemporary
Atonality, minimalism, neo-classicism, and contemporary composition.
Jazz & Blues
Swing, Bebop, Boogie-Woogie, Blue Notes, improvisation. Standards from Gershwin to Bill Evans.
Pop & Rock
Chart hits, Beatles, Elton John, Coldplay, Adele, Ed Sheeran, chords and accompaniment patterns.
Film & Cinematic Score
Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Ennio Morricone, Ludovico Einaudi. Cinematic piano at its most expressive.

Chanson & Art Song
The German art song, Schubert Lieder, French chanson, and cabaret style.
Gospel & Soul
Gospel chords, call & response, spirituals. Emotional, rhythmic, and deeply expressive.
Folk & World Music
Mirco's personal field: Slovenian Oberkrainer music (Slavko Avsenik), Tango, Bossa Nova and European folk traditions. Every idiom taught from the inside out.

Your favourite style not listed? No problem. In 1-on-1 coaching, we tailor the repertoire entirely to your wishes.
Go to Personal Coaching →Music Theory at the Piano
Theory is not an end in itself, it lives at the instrument and serves the music. At the piano, harmony, counterpoint and interpretation are translated directly into sound. Every style requires its own theoretical toolkit.
Theory That Becomes Sound
Most students struggle because nobody explained why music works the way it does. Mirco Lieber's approach is always practical, every concept is immediately played on the keys. Harmony is gripped with both hands. Counterpoint is heard voice by voice. Interpretation grows from understanding the musical language, not from imitation.
Note Reading & Sight-Reading
Treble & bass clef, rhythm values, time signatures. The foundation for reading any piece at the piano, essential for all styles.
Harmony & Chord Theory
Triads, 7th chords, cadences, voice leading rules. Different in each style: tonal Classical harmony, modal church modes, extended Jazz harmony.
Counterpoint & Voice Leading
The interplay of independent voices, essential for Bach, fugues, inventions. At the piano you hear and play counterpoint simultaneously with both hands.
Musical Interpretation
Phrasing, dynamics, agogics, articulation, the theory behind expression. How do you read a composer's intention? How do you develop your own musical voice?
Ear Training
Intervals, chord qualities, melodic dictation. Hear what you play and play what you hear, the bridge between theory and sound.
Scales, Modes & Improvisation
Major, minor, church modes, pentatonic, blues scales. Which mode suits which style? The tools for free playing in any genre.
Every music genre has its own harmonic language. Classical harmony follows different rules from Jazz harmony, and Baroque counterpoint is a world of its own. Mirco Lieber always teaches theory in a style-specific context: practical, applied directly to the piece you are studying.
Classical
Tonal harmony, classical cadences, formal analysis (sonata form, rondo). Interpretation through score analysis: phrasing, dynamic arcs, articulation read directly from the notation. Voice leading as the structural backbone of every phrase.
Jazz & Blues
Extended harmony: 9th, 11th, 13th chords, alterations, substitutions. The ii-V-I as structural foundation. Blues harmony, modal jazz scales. Comping voicings and free improvisation over chord changes, a distinct theoretical universe from Classical.
Pop & Contemporary
Simplified functional harmony, modern chord voicings, lead sheet reading. Pentatonic and diatonic harmony as foundation. Rhythmic accompaniment patterns, ostinato figures, groove at the piano, theory in service of feel.
Film & Cinematic
Modal harmony, timbre and texture as theoretical tools. Suspense through diminished and augmented chords, resolution and emotional arc. How film composers build and release harmonic tension, applied directly at the piano.
Baroque & Early Music
Historical harmony: basso continuo, modality in early tonality, strict counterpoint. Two-voice inventions to multi-voice fugues, theory you literally grasp with both hands. Baroque ornamentation and historically informed performance practice.
Folk & World Music
Starting with Mirco Lieber's own roots: Slovenian Oberkrainer music, the style of Slavko Avsenik, with its distinctive accordion-led harmonics, yodelling lines and characteristic Carinthian folk rhythms. From there: Tango, Bossa Nova, Latin rhythms and European folk traditions. Folk harmonic language often diverges sharply from classical Western theory, here you learn each idiom from the inside.

Book a Session →Music Lessons for Children
Children learn music differently, and that's exactly what makes teaching them so rewarding. Mirco Lieber has worked with young students for over 30 years, building a method that is structured, encouraging, and genuinely fun. Starting with the instruments children love most.
Built for How Kids Learn
Short lessons, vivid imagery, songs children already love. No dry theory, everything is connected to playing real music from day one.
30+ Years with Young Students
Mirco Lieber has taught children of all ages and temperaments, shy beginners, energetic learners, gifted students. Patience and encouragement are the foundation.
Parents Always Welcome
Parents can join the Zoom lesson, observe, and receive practice tips. You stay informed and involved, no mystery about what your child is learning.
Melodica
Lightweight, colourful, and immediately fun, the melodica is the ideal first keyboard instrument for a child. No heavy equipment, no complicated setup. Just blow, press a key, and music happens. Children love it instantly, and it builds real musical foundations: ear training, melody, and hand coordination.
Piano for Kids
Piano is the best all-round foundation for a young musician. Children learn to read music, develop both hands independently, and build a skill that transfers to every other instrument. Mirco Lieber's method for young pianists starts with simple melodies, favourite songs, and small achievable wins, building confidence fast.
Electronic Keyboard
No space for an acoustic piano? No problem. A basic electronic keyboard is all a child needs to start. Mirco Lieber teaches the same solid technique on keyboard, and children love the sounds, rhythms, and effects available at their fingertips. A great gateway to full piano later on.
Accordion
The accordion is a uniquely expressive instrument that children find exciting and different. It builds independence between both hands and teaches breathing and dynamics in a way no other keyboard instrument does. Junior-sized accordions make it fully accessible from age 7. A truly unforgettable skill.

This is specialist knowledge you will not easily find elsewhere online.
Mirco Lieber teaches piano, electronic keyboard, organ, accordion, harpsichord, and melodica, all online via Zoom. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced student, there is a level-appropriate course or personal coaching option for you.
All lessons take place live via Zoom. You book a time slot through the booking system, receive a Zoom link, and meet Mirco Lieber one-on-one. Free starter lessons are available immediately, paid courses and personal coaching packages are available for deeper, structured study.
Yes, this is one of the key advantages of Mirco Lieber's teaching method. Piano theory, note reading, and finger technique transfer directly to keyboard, organ, accordion, harpsichord, and melodica. Learning one keyboard instrument genuinely opens the door to all six.
Yes. Mirco Lieber holds a MMag. from MDW University for Music and Performing Arts Vienna and the Academy of Music Ljubljana, with specialisations in concert accordion, harpsichord, organ, and piano. He is also a trained historical performance specialist with deep expertise in Baroque repertoire and continuo playing, qualifications that are extremely rare in the online teaching world.
No, it's never too late. Adults regularly start at 30, 50, even 70 and make real progress. Mirco Lieber has taught adult beginners of every age for over 30 years, and adults often pick up note reading faster than children because they can grasp the system intellectually right away.
No. Talent helps, but it isn't a requirement. What matters far more is consistent practice and the right guidance, which is exactly what live lessons with a real teacher provide, correcting technique before bad habits form.
Accordion is generally considered more demanding for beginners than piano, because you coordinate the right-hand keyboard, left-hand bass buttons, and bellows control all at once. That said, if you already play piano, the chord theory and note reading transfer directly, you're really only adding bellows technique and bass-button layout on top of skills you already have.
No, you can start playing real songs by ear or from chord charts on day one. Many students begin without any notation knowledge and pick up note reading gradually as they progress; it's not a barrier to entry.
For piano/keyboard: a digital keyboard with a full 88-key weighted (hammer-action) keyboard is ideal for beginners, more affordable than an acoustic piano and close enough to real touch to build proper technique. For accordion: a beginner model with 48 to 72 bass buttons is usually the right size to start on. Not sure what fits your budget or goals? Ask in your free trial lesson, Mirco can point you toward the right instrument before you buy.
