Piano lessons for beginners
Starting piano requires no special gift and no perfect pitch. It requires a clear method, a few consistent minutes a day and music you actually want to play.
Your first weeks at the piano
Lessons 2 to 4 — Landmarks
Reading the first notes in treble and bass clef, pulse, fingering, coordinating both hands.
Month 2 — Really playing
A simple but musical repertoire: accessible classical pieces, contemporary themes, chord accompaniments.
Month 3 — Independence
Learning to practise alone: sectioning a piece, slowing down, isolating a difficulty, listening to yourself.
What you will learn
- Read piano notation step by step
- Play hands together without tension
- Understand rhythm and keep a steady pulse
- Build simple chords and accompany a melody
- Practise effectively in 20 minutes a day
How long before you play your first pieces?
With consistent practice of 20 to 30 minutes a day, most beginners play a complete piece — simple but genuinely musical — within a few weeks.
Progress depends far more on regularity than on talent. Lessons exist to correct early what would otherwise become a habit that is hard to undo.
Frequently asked questions
- Am I too old to start piano?
- No. Adult beginners often progress quickly because they understand musical structure and know how to organise their practice.
- Which instrument should I buy to start?
- An 88-key weighted digital piano with a sustain pedal is the best compromise for getting started.
- Can beginner lessons take place online?
- Yes. The online format works well from the very first lesson, with a camera positioned to show the keyboard and hands.
