Adult Beginner Piano Lessons
Let's play the piano. In the lessons below you will first learn to play piano by ear. In this way your playing will sound great almost immediately!

And you know what? You need absolutely no previous skills at all! The only things you need are a piano or a keyboard, a sliver of time and a great attitude!

So, just sit back and relax at the piano, and simply focus on making a beautiful sound and the great feeling of making music!

The beginner piano lessons below will teach you all about the layout of the keyboard, how to hold your hands, piano fingering and the names of the keys, and much more.

In the first lessons you will learn to play only by ear, so no note reading or sheet music is needed.

Some of the piano lessons have pictures to help explaining and showing you a particular technique. You will also learn a lot of other tips and tricks along the way. Have fun!

Paola did a wonderful lesson with our daughter. My daughter really enjoyed it. We are excited for our daughter to do more lessons with Paola. She was warm and also very attentive to detail.
This was the first time for me taking singing classes. For me, Paola is a very sweet, nice, and patient teacher knowing exactly how to guide you and make you relax and feel comfortable. Helpful first exercises with increasing challenges according to your needs and capabilities. Also, I was impressed by the power of her wonderful voice. And for sure, next class is already booked!
Welcome to the first step to become a Singer! I bet if you’re reading this, you’ve always wanted to become a great singer. Maybe you play guitar and want to sing and play songs for your friends. Maybe you’re an aspiring rock star just getting started. Or maybe you’ve been singing for years but have never been proud of your singing voice. Well I’ve got good news: This course is for YOU! In these fun step-by-step singing lessons we’re going to dramatically improve your singing voice with a renewed technique . We will discover and extend your vocal range, so you can hit notes you didn’t realize you could sing. We will work on your breathing technique and I’ll show you the secret to a powerful singing voice. We will improve your vocal clarity and pitch, so every note sounds right. Most importantly, you will develop the confidence and ability to sing in front others!
Childhood is one of the most favorable stages to learn an instrument or start exploring music inside. Not only does it help the child to have discipline, it also helps them develop many areas of the brain. Learning and discipline while having fun is one of the best ways to introduce them to music. My practical method is focusing on having fun while we learn. Children usually get tired so easily but if we play with them rhythm, notes, high and low pitches and the most important factor : play their favorites songs, they will love having lessons and the most important thing, they will learn without noticing.

Ask a question

Send a message explaining your needs and Paola will reply soon:
The more detail, the better.
Ex. "Hi, when are you available to meet for a lesson?"

Piano lessons for beginners and advanced players (including sheet music rental)
I offer lessons for everyone (students / children, adults). The spectrum is unlimited and is based on your ideas / wishes: - genre of music The grades for a very large selection of different pieces of music (at all levels) can be made available on loan. - Basics / basics of playing - Music theory (music theory, accidentals, ...) I have been playing the piano regularly for over 20 years and have had intensive private lessons myself for years; have already played a few times. I already have a lot of experience in dealing with students of all kinds (including adult students) due to my tutoring activities.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Denise
Singing classes in Vienna for all age students and musical styles (Online/Offline)
Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult. Feel free to contact me in case of further questions. I would love to work together to achieve your musical goals. All my best, Denise

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

Juan José
The trumpet, learn to play it by making music from the first class.
The trumpet: its correct technical execution and the interpretation of popular and academic universal repertoires, is available to everyone regardless of their age. We will build a logical sequence of studies that will help develop the technical aspects. And we will address repertoires according to the age and taste of the student. we will draw a path with short, medium and long term goals. we will build a technical routine and healthy habits to progress correctly. In addition, we will select musical pieces by mutual agreement to mature the technical development hand in hand with musical growth. I am a professional trumpeter, I have participated in symphony orchestras, wind bands, big band, and small chamber and jazz ensembles. I have extensive experience teaching children, youth and adults. For me it is very important to make music from the first lesson, because there must be a balance between technical practice and its application in small melodies or musical pieces. No matter the musical genre, we will always find a repertoire according to the level and interest of each student. If you already know how to play and you need to perfect a piece or prepare a recital or audition, you can count on my experience and accompaniment as well.

Gabriel
Pianiste certifié enseigner le piano pour tous niveaux. Méthodologie personnelle et décontractée !
J'ai plus de 12 ans d'expérience en enseignement, un diplôme de licence en interprétation au piano et une certification pédagogique d'une université reconnue internationalement. J'ai participé à de nombreuses classes de master de piano en Europe et j'ai étudié avec de grands pianistes. J'apprends toujours auprès de différents pianistes hautement accomplis. Je travaille comme pianiste professionnel depuis maintenant 6 ans, en Suisse, en Espagne, aux Maldives, à Chypre, en Autriche, en Islande et sur des navires de croisière de luxe (autour du monde). J'ai environ 10 000 abonnés sur Youtube, 18 000 sur Facebook et 30 000 sur Instagram. Au cours de ma carrière, j'ai appris que la compassion, la communication et l'encouragement sont tout aussi essentiels à la transmission de connaissances musicales que de compétences techniques. Je vous apprends également à vous DÉTENDRE CORRECTEMENT, afin que vous ne subissiez jamais aucune blessure (tendinite, etc.) pendant que vous pratiquez le piano. Mon expérience professionnelle comprend le coaching d'étudiants de tous niveaux et de tous âges, l'enseignement à différents niveaux de compétences. J'ai préparé avec succès les étudiants avec leurs examens de piano comme ABRSM, Trinity Grade 1-8 et des examens plus avancés. Je peux vous apprendre à jouer de la musique classique, du ragtime, du blues, du jazz, de la musique traditionnelle, de la musique moderne (Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, etc.), de la musique ancienne (Abba, Queen, etc.). Je dispense mes cours en utilisant une combinaison de 3 caméras pour une visibilité optimale et un microphone de qualité que mes étudiants trouvent très utile. Cela leur permet de voir une démonstration visuelle très claire à côté de mon explication verbale. Je vous donnerai des cours de piano en ligne personnalisés. Pour les débutants, j'utilise les livres de méthode Alfred, mais je suis très ouvert à l'utilisation d'autres livres également. J'aime enseigner et expliquer des choses générales, des habitudes qui peuvent être appliquées à des passages musicaux similaires, que l'on retrouve dans toutes les partitions musicales, de la musique classique à la musique moderne.
