🎓 Programs · Styles · Theory

Music Theory at the Piano

Theory is not an end in itself — it lives at the instrument and serves the music. At the piano, harmony, counterpoint and interpretation are translated directly into sound. Every style requires its own theoretical toolkit.

📖 Theory Program in the Context of Piano Playing

Theory That Becomes Sound

Most students struggle because nobody explained why music works the way it does. Mirco Lieber's approach is always practical — every concept is immediately played on the keys. Harmony is gripped with both hands. Counterpoint is heard voice by voice. Interpretation grows from understanding the musical language — not from imitation.

🎵

Note Reading & Sight-Reading

Treble & bass clef, rhythm values, time signatures. The foundation for reading any piece at the piano — essential for all styles.

🎼

Harmony & Chord Theory

Triads, 7th chords, cadences, voice leading rules. Different in each style: tonal Classical harmony, modal church modes, extended Jazz harmony.

🎶

Counterpoint & Voice Leading

The interplay of independent voices — essential for Bach, fugues, inventions. At the piano you hear and play counterpoint simultaneously with both hands.

🎭

Musical Interpretation

Phrasing, dynamics, agogics, articulation — the theory behind expression. How do you read a composer's intention? How do you develop your own musical voice?

👂

Ear Training

Intervals, chord qualities, melodic dictation. Hear what you play and play what you hear — the bridge between theory and sound.

🎹

Scales, Modes & Improvisation

Major, minor, church modes, pentatonic, blues scales. Which mode suits which style? The tools for free playing in any genre.

Start with a free theory intro →
Style Learning Tracks — which theory does each style need?

Every music genre has its own harmonic language. Classical harmony follows different rules from Jazz harmony — and Baroque counterpoint is a world of its own. Mirco Lieber always teaches theory in a style-specific context: practical, applied directly to the piece you are studying.

🎻

Classical

Baroque · Classical Period · Romantic

Tonal harmony, classical cadences, formal analysis (sonata form, rondo). Interpretation through score analysis: phrasing, dynamic arcs, articulation read directly from the notation. Voice leading as the structural backbone of every phrase.

Theory focus: Voice leading · Formal analysis · Interpretation
Bach · Mozart · Beethoven · Schubert · Chopin · Debussy
🎷

Jazz & Blues

Swing · Bebop · Blues · Improvisation

Extended harmony: 9th, 11th, 13th chords, alterations, substitutions. The ii–V–I as structural foundation. Blues harmony, modal jazz scales. Comping voicings and free improvisation over chord changes — a distinct theoretical universe from Classical.

Theory focus: Jazz harmony · Modality · Improvisation
Gershwin · Bill Evans · Oscar Peterson · Monk · Miles Davis
🎵

Pop & Contemporary

Chart Music · Singer-Songwriter · Covers

Simplified functional harmony, modern chord voicings, lead sheet reading. Pentatonic and diatonic harmony as foundation. Rhythmic accompaniment patterns, ostinato figures, groove at the piano — theory in service of feel.

Theory focus: Functional harmony · Rhythm · Voicings
Beatles · Elton John · Coldplay · Ed Sheeran · Adele
🎬

Film & Cinematic

Soundtracks · Ambient · Emotional

Modal harmony, timbre and texture as theoretical tools. Suspense through diminished and augmented chords, resolution and emotional arc. How film composers build and release harmonic tension — applied directly at the piano.

Theory focus: Modality · Timbre · Emotional harmony
H. Zimmer · J. Williams · E. Morricone · L. Einaudi
🎼

Baroque & Early Music

Harpsichord · Basso Continuo · Counterpoint

Historical harmony: basso continuo, modality in early tonality, strict counterpoint. Two-voice inventions to multi-voice fugues — theory you literally grasp with both hands. Baroque ornamentation and historically informed performance practice.

Theory focus: Counterpoint · Basso Continuo · Ornamentation
J.S. Bach · Scarlatti · Couperin · Händel · Telemann
🌍

Folk & World Music

Oberkrainer · Tango · Bossa Nova · Folk

Starting with Mirco Lieber's own roots: Slovenian Oberkrainer music — the style of Slavko Avsenik, with its distinctive accordion-led harmonics, yodelling lines and characteristic Carinthian folk rhythms. From there: Tango, Bossa Nova, Latin rhythms and European folk traditions. Folk harmonic language often diverges sharply from classical Western theory — here you learn each idiom from the inside.

Theory focus: Oberkrainer harmony · Modality · Folk rhythms
Slavko Avsenik · Piazzolla · Jobim · Ginastera
