Music that makes kids' eyes light up

Children learn differently from adults. They need short, varied sessions, clear wins, and most of all: fun. That's exactly what my kids' lessons are built around.

Each session is 20–30 minutes — long enough for real progress, short enough to keep focus. We switch between demonstration, imitation, rhythm games, and improvisation. No drilling, just playful discovery. And the best part: parents can sit beside their child, watch, and even join in!

I use colorful note cards, memory aids, and songs kids actually love — from nursery rhymes to movie themes from Frozen or Harry Potter. The lessons adapt to your child's interests, not the other way around.

  • Short 20-30 min sessions — just right for kids
  • Colorful materials, games & memory aids
  • Songs your child actually wants to play
  • Parents always welcome to watch
  • No pressure — a playful start to music

A teacher who understands kids

I've been teaching children since my university days — at music schools, privately, and online since 2020. Over three decades I've guided hundreds of young students, from their very first note to their own compositions. My name is Mirco Lieber, I'm a concert musician (MDW Vienna) specialized in teaching children.

The key is patience. Kids are allowed to make mistakes, ask questions, and bring their own ideas. If a child isn't in the mood today, we play a game instead of an étude. If they desperately want to learn a specific song, we build the technique around it. The material is flexible — the child comes first.

And because every child is different, there's no single method. Some kids love colorful note cards, others want to jump straight in and play by ear. Some need lots of encouragement, others want to be challenged. I adapt — with a smile and plenty of humor.

What makes us different

⏱️

20-30 Minute Lessons

Short, sharp, kid-friendly. Longer isn't better — regular is. Two 20-minute sessions beat one 60-minute lesson every time.

😄

Fun Over Pressure

No strict practice schedules. We play, improvise, and laugh a lot. The joy of music always comes first.

👨‍👩‍👧

Parents Are Welcome

Sit beside your child, watch the progress, and join in. No black-box teaching — you'll always know exactly what's being learned.

Which instrument is right for your child?

Every child is different. That's why I offer four instruments — from the easiest start to a unique challenge. In a free trial lesson we'll find the perfect fit together.

Everything you need to know

What age is best to start music lessons?
I recommend starting at around age 6. The melodica is a perfect first instrument from age 6 — it's light, affordable, and instantly playable. Piano, keyboard and accordion work great from around age 7-8.
Which instrument is right for my child?
It depends on your child. The melodica is the easiest start — cheap, light, instant fun. Piano builds a solid musical foundation and is the classic choice. Keyboard excites tech-loving kids with cool sounds and rhythms. Accordion is unique and expressive for kids who want something special. A free trial lesson helps us find the best fit together.
How long is each lesson?
Short 20-30 minute lessons — perfect for a child's attention span. Longer isn't better, regular is. Two 20-minute sessions per week work much better than one 60-minute session. Older kids (10-14) can handle 30-minute lessons.
Can parents watch the lessons?
Absolutely! Parents are always welcome to join the Zoom lessons. This way you see what's being learned and can support your child during practice — without pressure, but with joy. Many parents sit beside their child and pick up a thing or two themselves.
How much does it cost?
Video courses are suitable for all ages: Level 1 (€63 one-time, incl. VAT), Level 2 (€133, incl. VAT), and the Complete Bundle (€267, incl. VAT) — each with lifetime access. For younger kids (6-9), the Fröhliche Tasten monthly kids packages start at €85/month (incl. VAT). For individual 1-on-1 lessons with 45-min sessions (roughly ages 10-14+), the ML-Economic coaching programme is a 12-week programme priced at €580 total (incl. 16% VAT), paid as 4 monthly instalments of €145, or €522 if paid in full.
Is there a free trial lesson?
Yes! You get a free trial lesson with no risk. Your child can test the lesson and my teaching style without commitment. There's also a free 5-day email starter course, and all paid courses come with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Can my child learn multiple instruments?
Yes, many of my students learn two or even three instruments with me. Melodica is often the starting point, then piano is added, and later maybe accordion or keyboard. The basics (notes, rhythm, coordination) are very similar, so switching is easy.
Does my child need prior knowledge?
Not at all. We start from zero — playfully with call-and-response, rhythm games, and colorful memory aids. Reading music is introduced step by step once your child is comfortable navigating the keyboard. Younger children learn with colors and symbols — completely pressure-free.
