Discover Piano Lab: Where Tradition Meets Technology in Piano Learning
What is Piano Lab?
Piano Lab is a revolutionary approach to piano education, blending modern technology with time-honoured teaching techniques. It's not just about learning piano; it's about experiencing music in a way that's both effective and exhilarating.
​
No two classes are the same because every student is different - as are our teachers. This page describes how most of them teach - but you can expect differences depending on your teacher's unique specialisations, their teaching styles, and their plan for you.
​
Why do things differently?
Traditional one-on-one lessons have their merits, but at Piano Lab, each group is unique. Lessons are shaped by the students present and the individual style of the teacher. This flexible approach is not just different; it’s more responsive to the needs of each student and more aligned with how real progress happens today.
​The Benefits:
​​
-
Faster progress. Music isn’t just learned in the lesson, it’s practised and internalised. This enables quicker and more profound progress.
-
Better note-reading. Start with confidence. Lesson activities are chosen by the teacher to support skill development from the very beginning.
-
Increased confidence. A blend of rapid progress, tailored learning techniques, and self-guided work empowers students, boosting their confidence significantly.
-
Reduced anxiety. Students have freedom & privacy to work things out on their own, but still have expert help on hand when needed.
-
Thriving community. Be part of an inspiring community where hard work and musical friendships add fun and motivation to your learning journey!
​
And if that wasn’t enough, you'll enjoy longer lesson times offering exceptional value compared to standard one-to-one sessions.
​
Is it just another group class?
Far from it. Traditional group classes often mean some students race ahead while others lag behind. At Helsinki Piano Lab, most teachers structure classes so that everyone progresses at their own pace, creating a balanced, enjoyable, and effective learning environment for all.
How does it work in practice?
Each piano is equipped with two headphones - one for the student, and one for the teacher. Many teachers typically begin with one-to-one instruction, then provide personalised assignments for students to work on independently. As students practise, the teacher rotates between them, offering feedback and further guidance. The exact flow of the lesson depends on the teacher’s preferences, their unique teaching style, and their plan for the students that day.
