They learned by their mistakes as all young enterprises do, Alan drawing on his memories of Monopoly and Stock Ticker games with his cousin Peter DeBlois on rainy Prince Edward Island summer afternoons, Jovan by sheer enthusiasm and grit acquiring the vast body of knowledge needed to design high quality websites and do the necessary SEO to make the whole operation tick. Company growth has been organic. Alan’s main focus is still on research and development, as the recently published Study Guide and Honing the Pianistic Self Image bear proof -he has his hands full with other things besides business matters. Jovan has been the unsung hero, working overtime and giving his all to fuel the company’s expansion from scratch for its first 2 ½ years.

With Jovan finally fulfilling his dream of heading to the Miami for post-graduate studies in piano with Kemal Gekic, he has changed his working relationship with Maple Grove, opening his own web design business, IKRE84U while continuing to freelance for Maple Grove – developing projects such as a new version of PianoTechnique.net offering subscriptions for regular new teaching video podcasts from Alan Fraser. We wish Jovan every success in his new endeavors and travels, and we will always appreciate the special dedication he showed as one of the founders of the company.
