You get much more than piano lessons...
​
At Helsinki Piano Lab, we believe music education is much more than just piano lessons. It is also about belonging to a musical community and discovering a deeper purpose within music.
That’s why we’ve extended our core programs to include collaboration as a key feature of all of our courses, so you get many opportunities to work together with other students and musicians, if you want. It’s why we offer piano parties, teach duets, write songs, accompany dance, and provide opportunities to make musical friends.
Our goal is to offer you a journey of musical fulfilment that can last a lifetime - and you are invited.
​
"I started to learn the piano when I was 12 but packed it in after a year. Fast forward to now I'm 60 and I thought I'd give it another go. I started with Barry just before Xmas and to my surprise I'd learned to play a few Xmas carols. I'd recommend Barry to anyone as he's calm and has loads of patience with his pupils."
...You unlock our top-rated musical community...

Students consistently rate us highly on Google and Facebook, as well as in direct feedback. Reasons that come up include:

Excellent teaching quality
We work hard to make sure that you get excellent teaching quality in weekly lessons, and your teacher will have a proven record of collaborative learning, in addition to their many other skills. Regardless of how many extra features are added to your experience, we are committed to keeping teaching quality high by investing strongly in our teachers.
Thriving community
In addition to this, you can get a richer musical experience with collaborative piano parties of various themes. You can play duets, jam with chords, accompany other instruments, accompany dance, or even write songs - if you want. Music is more fun when it is shared, and making musical friends is actively encouraged!

"Barry is a really calm, patient and kind teacher."​
"Päätin kokeilla muutaman tunnin Barryn kanssa, vaikka olen jo 40-vuotias. Näyttää siltä, että oikean opettajan kanssa voi oppia mitä tahansa missä iässä tahansa!
Kiitos, Barry, että olet niin hyvä ja kärsivällinen opettaja!"
Onko liian myöhäistä aloittaa pianon soittaminen?
Onko liian myöhäistä aloittaa pianon soittaminen?
Saatat miettiä, onko liian myöhäistä opetella pianonsoittoa (spoilerivaroitus: ei ole!). Minulla on vuosien kokemus aikuisten opettamisesta ja tunnillani he oppivat taitoja, joita he eivät uskoneet mahdollisiksi, ja seuraavat suunnitelmaa, joka on sekä hauska että mukaansatempaava.
Aikuisopiskelijat jakautuvat yleensä kahteen luokkaan: he, jotka ovat halunneet oppia pitkään, mutta eivät koskaan päässeet alkuun; ja he, jotka ottivat oppitunteja lapsena ja haluavat jatkaa.
​​
​Aikuiset, jotka aloittavat alusta
Aloittelijoille on tarjolla hauska ja haastava suunnitelma, joka varmistaa, että opit kaikki tarvittavat taidot siirtyäksesi seuraavalle tasolle. Polut ovat erittäin henkilökohtaisia ja täysin omatoimisia, mikä mahdollistaa oppimisen omassa tahdissa. Autamme sinua musiikillisen potentiaalisi saavuttamisessa!
​Aikuiset, joilla on aikaisempaa kokemusta
Vaikka olisit oppinut jotain kauan sitten ja luulit unohtaneesi kaiken, minulla on hyvä tapa saada sinut takaisin raiteillesi, jotta voit soittaa suosikkikappaleitasi paremmin kuin uskotkaan!
Kokemuksestasi riippumatta sinulla pitäisi olla ensimmäisen oppitunnin jälkeen hyvä käsitys tavoitteistasi ja siitä, miten saavuttaa ne.
