Jordan Rudess is best known as the extraordinary keyboardist for the platinum-selling, GRAMMY Award-winning progressive rock band, Dream Theater.
As a classical child prodigy, Jordan was admitted to the prestigious Juilliard School of Music when he was just 9 years old.
His piano playing is renowned for its virtuosity, speed, and of course… technique.
Jordan honed his piano technique under the supervision of some of the greatest piano teachers at Juilliard. And now…
He’s sharing those secrets with you.
“These are the exercises that have made the biggest impact on my playing,” says Jordan.
Over 30 days, Jordan will guide you through the exact exercises he used to develop his incredible piano skill. But you won’t just be watching Jordan, you’ll be playing with him.
“I’ve always thought it would be amazing to have a place to go where you knew that the exercises and steps you were taking were guaranteed to make you a better piano player,” he says.
“This is that place.”
This is a rare opportunity to connect and learn from the world’s best.

Do you want to have stronger fingers, better hand coordination, and play faster? If the answer is yes, then 30 Days to Better Technique is perfect for you. Even if you’re new on your journey, you’ll see massive improvements to your playing.

WEEK 1
Strong fingers make everything easier on the piano. Read more...
And if you don’t work on your finger independence, you’ll stay stuck with fingers that do their own thing, hit random keys and move when you don’t want them to.
That’s why we’re starting the course with Jordan’s best exercise to strengthen your fingers and give them the independence they crave. After the first day, your fingers will already feel stronger, and you’ll be more confident and excited to keep learning.
Here’s what we’ll focus on:
Using musical patterns to build strong fingers. Each exercise will sound like music, not a boring technical exercise. Jordan will show you exactly what notes to play in what order.
Creating true separation for your fingers. Once you’re comfortable with the patterns, we’ll start holding individual notes while playing around them to really give your fingers a mind of their own.
Independence for EVERY finger. As Jordan says, “We were given five fingers, we might as well use them.” You’ll build strength in every single digit of your hands. Yes, even your pinky and ring fingers!

WEEK 2
Now you’ve built strong fingers, it’s time to use them. Read more...
In Week 2, you’ll learn how to separate your hands so you can play different rhythms and motifs in your left and right hands.
No more boring whole notes in your left hand. Hand coordination trips up so many piano players and halts your progress. But with Jordan’s daily guidance, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you progress.
Here’s how we’ll do it:
Patterns designed to break up your hands. You’ll lay a foundational rhythm with one hand while exploring new patterns and syncopation in the other.
Personal accompaniment from Jordan. While you’re working on your exercises, Jordan will accompany you, providing a unique backing track. Yes, you’ll be making music with Jordan Rudess.
Break out of 4/4. Get out of the easy time signatures and step into Jordan’s world of off-time. “It’s easy, but it’s odd.”

Week 3
Now it’s time to impress. Read more...
Not many keyboardists can play as fast as Jordan Rudess, and in Week 3, he’ll show you the exact exercises he learned at Juilliard and used to build his prodigious speed.
Strap in, because it’s a wild ride.
But don’t worry, we’ll start slow. Because in order to play fast – you have to start slow. But we won’t stay there. By the end of the week, you’ll notice a significant difference in your speed, and you’ll have the tools to continue practicing how to play faster.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Jordan’s secret Juilliard exercises. These are the exact exercises his teachers at Juilliard taught him. He’s sharing them now – with you.
The “Flowing” exercise to give you freedom in your playing. An ethereal arpeggio exercise that sounds incredible while helping you play faster.
How to “think” about playing fast. Speed is more than an act – it’s a mindset. Jordan will show you how to approach practicing speed so you’re set up for success, not frustration.
/marketing/pianote/products/30-day-better-technique/week4.webp)
Week 4
You’ve spent 3 weeks building the skills that you’ll be using in Week 4. Read more...
Because what’s the point of getting better technique?
To play beautiful music.
In Week 4, Jordan will share his tips on how to create true emotion and expression in your piano playing. How do you go from hitting the keys to making music? This final week will show you how to tell a story with your playing.
You end the course with:
The specific techniques to draw listeners into your playing. How to get people to stop and stare whenever you sit at the piano.
The mindset of a singer. Why thinking like a vocalist is key to bringing emotion and feeling to the pieces you play.
A final performance with Jordan. “We are going to rock”, says Jordan. In the final week, you’ll put all your skills together to play something Dream Theater-esque WITH Jordan.

We’re so confident that you’ll LOVE the improvements to your piano technique after Jordan’s course, that we’re giving you THREE times as long to put it to the test.
The course is 30 days, but you’ll have 90 days to try it risk-free.
That means you’ll have enough time to go through every lesson and play with Jordan - THREE times. And if – after you’ve put in the work – you don’t see real improvements to your technique...
If your fingers don’t feel stronger and your hands aren’t more coordinated…
If you don’t enjoy playing the piano more than you did before you started…
Contact [email protected] within those 90 days and get a refund.
We hear you.
And we didn’t bring in the world’s best keyboard player just to teach you the C scale. In fact, you should already know your C scale (at least) before starting this course.
But you don’t need years of experience to enroll in 30 Days to Better Technique. The course has been structured to be beginner-friendly to start with. And if you HAVE been playing for years, you’ll pick up some incredible tips and exercises that will change how you practice.
Will you be challenged? Yes.
But that’s exactly how you get better.
And we’ll support you every step of the way.
So as Jordan says…
“Don’t be scared. Jump in. I’m friendly. I’m there with you. We’re going to play together. And we’re going to make some music.”
And hey, the absolute worst-case scenario is that you give it a shot and it’s not right for you. And then you’ll be protected by our 90-Day Better Technique Guarantee.
30 Days to Better Technique takes place over 30 days. (It’s right there in the title.) But…
We created this course with the real-world in mind.
So while it’s designed to be completed in 30 days, there are actually only 20 lessons. That leaves you 2 free days each week to catch up or repeat anything you need to. Because life happens, and missing one day shouldn’t mean the end of your progress.
The lessons are designed to run Monday - Friday, and then on the weekend we’ll answer your questions and you’ll have time to catch up on anything you missed.
And the lessons themselves range from 10-15 minutes each day.
And we know you can find 15 minutes each day.
Very.
Jordan wrote every single lesson and resource for this course with YOU in mind. He presents every lesson, and it will feel like he’s in the room with you. You’ll play along with him, and then he’ll accompany you while you practice.
That’s up to you.
You’ll have access to this course for the rest of your life. It will never expire. And we’d encourage you to go through it again and again, as you’ll get something new each time.
But once you finish it, you’ll be itching to put your new technique to use.
And if you’re looking for the best way to do that, we’d suggest joining Pianote and getting access to over 1000 popular songs (including some Dream Theater songs), as well as other courses from world-class instructors.
By now, you already know that the biggest
difference
between those pianists you envy
and the ones who get stuck on a plateau, never
making progress, all
comes down to…
Better Technique.
So if you’re still here, let’s wrap this up and get
you playing better.
