Looking for an organ teacher who truly moves you forward? A music teacher with the Cembalo Magisterium (Vienna MDW concert degree) and organ studies, over 30 years of teaching experience, and students worldwide, live via Zoom, fully tailored to your level and repertoire.

Why is this organ teacher different?

Most keyboard teachers focus on piano or organ one-sidedly. This teaching covers the full organ craft: manual technique, pedal playing, registration, and the three great epochs of organ literature. Your repertoire determines the technique exercises, from Bach to Duruflé.

Why can you trust this teacher?

The difference between a trained concert musician and a marketplace teacher shows up in the depth of training. The Cembalo Magisterium at the MDW Vienna, complemented by parallel organ studies, is a rare and demanding qualification.

Frequently asked questions

Can I learn organ online?

What qualifies Mirco Lieber as an organ teacher?

Mirco Lieber, MMag., holds the Cembalo Magisterium (harpsichord concert degree, MDW) and a master in accordion (Ljubljana); he also studied organ at the MDW Vienna. He has played and taught for over 30 years.

What repertoire can I learn on the organ?

Do I need my own organ to start?

No. A keyboard or digital piano with a wide compass is enough to start. Access to a pipe organ becomes useful later, but is not a prerequisite. Your teacher advises you individually.

How much do online organ lessons cost?

After the free 30-minute trial lesson there are fixed-term packages without automatic renewal: ML-ECONOMIC is EUR 145 per month for 4 months (approx. USD 168), ML-SERIOUS is EUR 189 per month for 6 months (approx. USD 219) and ML-AMBITIOUS is EUR 229 per month for 6 months (approx. USD 265), plus a one-time joining fee of EUR 5. Single lessons without a package cost EUR 32 (30 min), EUR 42 (45 min) or EUR 56 (60 min) with no joining fee. Prices include 16% VAT and are billed in EUR; USD amounts are approximate.

Can a pianist switch to the organ?

Yes. The manual keyboard feels familiar, but organ touch and sound production are different: a held note does not fade and key pressure does not change the volume, so articulation, legato and registration shape the music, and pedal playing is a new skill. The first lessons build on what you already know.

Is there a free trial lesson?

Yes. The first 30-minute trial lesson is free and without obligation. You can book it in the English calendar, request it with the no-JavaScript form at ml-musicschool.online/request-trial, or email info@ml-musikschule.eu.
