The Art of Practising the Piano, Explained Systematically
Over 90 instructional videos by Prof. Christian A. Pohl show you, step by step, how professional pianists practise, shape their playing and interpret the music. Tested over 30 years of teaching experience, explained clearly and ready to apply straight away in your own practice.
Whether you’re studying the piano, teaching it or playing simply for the joy of making music – every stage of your musical journey presents its own challenges and raises new questions. The Pohl Method guides you with sound strategies, tried-and-tested methods and clearly structured learning pathways that support you exactly where you are right now. Select your area below and find out how the Pohl Method can provide targeted support on your personal journey.
Support during your studies
Between auditions, exams and the workload of practising, there is often no time to learn teaching methods systematically. The Pohl Method fills precisely this gap: you’ll master the most important practice tools independently, prepare for your main subject lessons in a more targeted way – and see progress in your own playing more quickly. Suitable for both Bachelor’s and Master’s students.

The joy of discovery
Do you play out of passion, but eventually reach a point where emotion alone is no longer enough? The Pohl Method shows you how professionals really practise – explained in a way that’s easy to understand, with no prior knowledge required. As an advanced amateur, you’ll discover a world of practice that was previously reserved for trained pianists.
For enthusiasts
Learning together
Learning together makes it easier: the whole teaching staff undertakes professional development at the same time, shares ideas and incorporates new knowledge directly into their lessons. For institutions, we offer tiered licence packages at significantly reduced rates – for five or more teachers.
