Pianobeats 5 Steps course starts after completing the foundation stage (either through group lessons or the above online course). You can pick any piece ( ideally all of them! ) starting from the pre-grade level. If however you are already working towards any ABRSM grade with your piano teacher you will find your pieces here and you can move on straight to it if you feel ready. The 5 Step Course is a wonderful tool to accelerate your progress at least x 3  unlike live lessons in person because you can watch instructions as many times as you wish and you set the intensity of your course. 

Marek explains every step in the smallest detail teaching the way he teaches in person. It is very easy to follow and the instructions are made very clearly (if you feel however you need help contact us via chat on the messenger on the website).

  

Here are the 5 steps in Pianobeat's unique and crystal clear programme:

​

 Step 1( familiarisation)

​

• listen to the piece

• ask yourself a question : "do I like it and why?"

• enjoy listening to the piece and sharpen your eagerness to play it

​

Step 2 ( technique )

​

• name the notes and play very slowly in sections

• try to play the right notes and the rhythm on the piano (it doesn't have to  be perfect !)

​

Step 3 ( adding more detail)

​

• add articulation (staccato, legato)

• master the rhythm 

• play with the metronome at different speeds ( if needed)

• establish steady tempo

​

​

Step 4 ( making music!)​

​

• add dynamics ( piano, mezzo piano, mezzo forte, forte, crescendo, diminuendo etc.)

• work on the flow and the character of the piece

• relax and feel good when you play the piece

​

Step 5 ( fine tuning)

​

• live video lesson with Marek ( 45 or 60 minutes)

• Marek will help you to fine-tune it and guide you to the complete mastery of the piece
