As Recognized From
Austria
To learn the piano you need a good learning system, a friendly teacher, a piano and perseverance. The first two requirements are fully met by Zapiano with the new Piano Starter 1 course version.
Switzerland
The concept is great – the fact that you keep making the connection is very helpful. The structure is very optimal. Step by step. Exactly: comprehensibly derived and explained. The material – video and PDFs are a huge gift. I am always amazed at how varied the training is.
Germany
I listen to the PianoStarter 1 songs almost every day and can’t wait until I can play them. They really sound so great. I am most looking forward to “The Candle", “Joanna’s Mood" and “Papillon". You are doing soooo great. Thank you Sven!!!
Germany
The new version of PS1 goes into more depth right from the start for a better understanding of the subject matter. I really liked the early demonstration of small variation possibilities in order to interpret pieces in a more exciting and individual way and to slowly detach oneself from the sheet music and play the piano freely.

THE FOCUS IS ON PEOPLE
At Zapiano® you are the center of attention. Thanks to the comprehensive range of courses offered, you’ll immediately recognize a common thread and remain free from confusing overstimulation. Because only the next step in your learning process is significant. You log in and follow the course progression. This could be new piano pieces according to your playing level, ear training, sight-reading, technical refinements, etc. – always according to the holistic approach of the Zapiano® method.
CONVENTIONAL TEACHING METHODS
Conventional teaching methods have one thing in common: they are incomplete.
Piano students often only learn parts of piano playing. Countless adults have told us that they learned to play the piano from sheet music. At least they were able to play what they were given or what they memorized. Others strummed a little by ear. But even this approach – based on the principle of trial and error – quickly showed its limits. Still others first tried to understand the theory of harmony, ie the mechanisms of music-making, correctly, but were only able to transfer their theoretical knowledge to the piano to a limited extent. And then there are those who want to express their feelings on the piano but lack the tools to even get to that point. While all these areas in the learning process are crucial and relevant for learning the piano, they only lead to convincing results in piano playing side by side.The Zapiano® method combines all of this. It brings structure & creativity into balance. Reading, listening, understanding, feeling and touching are equally important.
THE ZAPIANO® METHOD
Everything is included: reading music, listening, understanding, touching and feeling. Because all sensory channels are equally important when playing the piano. Only if these 5 learning options are learned in an optimal ratio will the goal be achieved: you will play the piano easily and relaxed, just as you have always dreamed of doing.
Zapiano® is right for you if
you are looking for a real alternative to conventional piano lessons
Because Zapiano® comes very, very close to conventional piano lessons. And at a fraction of the price.
you want to learn to play the piano properly right from the start
Through my 25 years of teaching I have gained enough experience and know about the obstacles you encounter when you want to learn to play the piano on your own or with an app.
you know that you have to practice to achieve results
The best program, the best exercise book, the best app, the best teacher is useless if you don’t practice. However, at Zapiano® you learn that practicing is something varied and exciting.
you are prepared to invest in a piano or digital piano
A keyboard is also sufficient at the beginning – but we recommend that all students invest in a good instrument. Renting or renting/purchasing is often also possible in specialist shops.
you want to acquire background knowledge on how to learn new pieces
Most courses aim to teach you one piece at a time without really knowing what it’s about. This leads to “Button-pushing" without any content. At Zapiano® you learn how music really works.
you want to express yourself creatively on the piano
Creativity is an important and essential part of every human being. In addition to in-depth knowledge, you will also learn to express yourself creatively on the piano.
you want to organize your time at the piano completely freely
No fixed dates, no traveling, no long contracts – you determine your own learning pace and can cancel at any time with just 1 click.
you are looking for a flexible way of learning with personal support
With Zapiano® you are never on your own. We will accompany you to your goal of one day being able to play the piano in a relaxed manner.
Zapiano® is not right for you if
you don't have time to practice
Then you won’t make any progress and won’t have any fun.
you only want to learn “one song” as quickly as possible
There are plenty of YouTube tutorials on this – have fun! However, experience has shown that most people have forgotten everything after a week. The reason for this as that learning the piano by “pressing buttons" is less effective.
you don't want to concentrate while practicing
Learning to play the piano means concentrating and practicing things until you have internalized them. Don’t be fooled by the many technical possibilities (learning apps) or other promises: There are no tricks or shortcuts.
you only want to play Mozart, Beethoven & Co
On Zapiano® you will also learn pieces that belong to the genre of “New Classics", but not music that is 300 years old.
