From our members
“Welcome to the site that presents my teaching in the greatest detail and in the most well-organized fashion. Watch videos here to improve your hands' agility, sensitivity and capability.”
“I am continuing to enjoy PianoTechnique.org very much. I am becoming quite addicted to it. Basically, your website has put world-class, top notch piano teaching and cutting-edge piano technique into the public domain, making it accessible for those who have ears to hear.”
“Pianotechnique.org and the recorded lessons make it possible for me to deepen my knowledge of my lessons with prof. Fraser. It is well structured, which makes it easy to access a specific technical problem or a particular piece.”
“PianoTechnique.org is a great inspiration. I watch all Alan's lessons, it reminds me every time of the techniques he is teaching us. I just watched part of my own lesson and I am pleasantly surprised how clear the sound is. You hear every word of our discussion.”
“This is exactly what I was looking for! I have been looking for a long time for a resource that brings old and new knowledge to the table and yet presents it in a very modern way. I can watch a few videos and get inspired to practice right away.”
“A very unique website. Nothing out there is similar, maybe YouTube but yet the quality of information here is much better. I am getting so many ideas I can't wait to incorporate into my teaching.”

Contact us for team pricingCreated by Jovan Haji-Djurich, PianoTechnique.org educates pianists and aspiring piano teachers on technique as well as musicianship. Jovan coded the first version of the site himself in 2014 and has been building, maintaining and curating the videos ever since.
There are two main sections. The Main Library holds edited lectures, lessons and tutorials available to every member. The Workshops library holds raw, unedited workshop recordings, available to the attendees and to anyone who unlocks them for a fee.
Rather than a fixed course on a few topics, we keep adding content as we go: new videos every week and new workshops as they happen. Alan's teaching changes over the years and we are here to document and preserve it.
Hosting all these videos relies on several paid services, so access is covered by a subscription fee, just like your favorite video streaming service.
Of course you can.

Built by a pianist
Over 12 years ago, Jovan had the idea for PianoTechnique.org: a single, dedicated place where the world's finest piano technique knowledge could be gathered, organised and made accessible to pianists everywhere.
Since then, he has been building, maintaining and curating the site, growing it into the resource it is today. Every series, lesson and piece of content reflects his ongoing commitment to making exceptional piano pedagogy available to anyone with the curiosity to learn.
For a student, a teacher or a friend who loves to play.
