Every Student Started Exactly Where You Are Now!
Every one of my adult students started exactly where you are now.
Some had never played a note.
Others were returning after decades away from the piano.
By following the lessons step by step, they discovered something they never expected...
That they could make real, expressive music much sooner than they imagined.
"I hadn't played in over 20 years. I was convinced I'd forgotten everything. Within a few weeks of the Summer Challenge I was playing with both hands — something I never thought I'd do again." — Margaret, 68

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Marcel Zidani
I am a concert pianist, composer and teacher with over 25 years experience. I'm also the author of the highly acclaimed piano method book - Hey Presto!
I've received glowing reviews in the international press, ‘The Sunday Times’ has described my performances of ‘A New Renaissance’ as ‘an explosion of expressive tonal colours’ and BBC Radio 3 proclaimed me as a 'Musical Gem'.
I now dedicate much of my time helping people just like you play beautiful and original piano music via my online courses and live masterclasses.
"The book and the lessons are fantastic, Marcel Zidani is so responsive!"
- Ray Brown
"my students love playing with pedal straight away. Pieces sound more complicated than they actually are which allows you to play 'cool stuff' straight away."
- Andra Giuffri
"Marcel Zidani thank you for the encouragement. I am really enjoying your lessons and want to keep learning the circular wrist motions and using the pedal."
- Chris Golding
