It's a pleasure to deal with the Digital Piano Method! The videos are very inspiring, the explanations wonderful, very well-founded and very easy to understand, compiled from a huge wealth of experience. I often felt invited to try things out straight away. Plus so many refreshing details and little things, illustrative examples and pictures!
Although I have been studying Prof. Christian A. Pohl's piano method for many years, there were a lot of new things for me to discover.
I am thrilled!

[...] I ordered the book the same day and it didn't take me an hour to fall in love with reading it. I have never read a book in my life that I have followed with such excitement and interest. Her methods and concepts inspired me so much that I suddenly read through the book in one weekend. Although I initially intended to adopt individual methods and try them out, I was also motivated to familiarise myself with the subsequent methods and concepts. It was almost 400 pages of qualitative and pure knowledge to read. You could feel the love and dedication you put into your work in every sentence.
The main reason why I like the book so much is that it was not written in a classic continuous text where you get the feeling that every single sentence serves to increase the number of pages. The simple yet ingenious structure of a short introduction, followed by learning objectives, principle, implementation, extension and any pedagogical tips in each method, ensured constant motivation. This made the learning content more tangible and similar to a manual. You only have to open a page and you will immediately find all the essential content you need for a method. This is hardly possible in a conventional book, as the quintessence is lost in all the sentences if you need it again. The flashcards are revolutionary. It is simply fun to work out a new method or a new Attack with the flashcards. Not only for me, but also for my piano students. [] Apart from that, there's not much more I can say other than thank you very much for this piano method! With every method, you can see the love down to the smallest detail and the twenty years of work it took you to create this masterpiece. It is an enrichment for my practice. At the age of 22, I had reached a point where my intuitive playing was no longer sufficient and gradually required cognitively understandable, playfully controlled practising/playing. Your piano methodology is helping me to master this transition and to move on to confident practising in the future. In which I not only play, but also understand. [Your piano methodology contributes significantly to expanding my knowledge of systematic practising and structured teaching.
