Good video, opening up the can of worms contained in Hanon. I've also tried Phillips exercises and haven't seen many quality videos explaing these exercises. Another are Dohnanyi exercises.

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 9 месяцев назад

Oh good call! Maybe I can do videos on those. Thanks!

Thank you Ashley. Very helpful and kind for sharing tips

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 9 месяцев назад

You’re very welcome! Glad it was helpful!

@momobit2143 Месяц назад

Thanks for your tips but could you give some tips for beginners who don't know sight reading and follow along tempo properly specially when it comes to the flag notes. it's really confusing to match notes and tempo correctly when you practice Hanon.

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio Месяц назад

Check out my rhythm playlist! Tons of great videos that will help you with that 👍🏻

Great tips! Although I'm only a beginner, I would say that lacking the right technique introduces a lot of unnecessary tension. This, in turn, greatly limits smoothness and the speed of execution.

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 3 месяца назад

YES exactly!

@MrYuryZ 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for your tips and knowledge. I really appreciate that. So far I've learned and been practicing only no.1 and no.6 Hannon exercises with no lifting fingers after pressing and until it's term to do so. If I press the key with the 2nd finger it stays on the key and waits, then I hit the next key with the 3rd finger and it waits too, and so on. Each finger works independently while other fingers keep holding keys. I deliberately played it very slowly. The point of that technique is to learn how to hold your fingers on the pressed keys while at the same time another finger working independently. It is uncomfortable at first because when the other finger goes up other fingers that already pressing and holding keys want to go up as well. It really strengthens my fingers and helps me play more accuratelly and with more control over keys. Anyway thank you again and may God bless you and your loved ones.

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 9 месяцев назад

Yes this is a really great idea in the short term when you’re focusing on a specific technique like you described! I always warn not to do that for too long as ultimately it won’t serve most of your piano playing in the long run - but great for the isolated instance you described!

@JD-72191 9 месяцев назад

I also use the same technique of letting one hand lead the other. I’m glad that is a good thing!

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 9 месяцев назад

It is indeed! I’d also recommend switching the hand that leads occasionally because sometimes it’s surprising that the weaker hand needs to lead!

@JD-72191 9 месяцев назад

@@AshleeYoungMusicStudio I am left handed so I am used to having to do things with both hands and do this instinctively!

Hello Ashlee. I just came across your channel. I totally take on board your Hanon practice tips. For years I am guilty of many of the things NOT to do. I thought I was imprroving because I was nearing 104-108 bpm. But due to bad posture, bad finger position etc, I experienced tension in the forearms, irregular playing, etc. Basically I actually experienced a slight feeling of dread each time I sat down to do my Hanon exercises. I then slowed down to 80bpm. And I'm actually enjoying the execises for the first time in decades of playing them. I shall now also be applying your precious advice to push ahead on imprroving the flow, precision & musicality. I'm a new subscriber. I look forward to watching your previous as well as any new ones. Excelkent stuff. Thank you so much. Regards. Jon

This is such a huge deal that you’re slowing down and feeling the difference! Congrats on making some changes for the longer term benefit. This is so awesome. Thank you for letting me know! Also, if you’re not already in the free community you might really benefit from all that goes on over there too! Lmk if you need the link.

@BsktImp 5 месяцев назад

Can you please clarify practising Hanon in all keys? One challenge is the fingering necessarily changes, but most editions present only one fingering. Thanks

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 5 месяцев назад

Hey there! I wouldn’t necessarily recommend practicing Hanon this way unless you had a very specific reason why you needed to learn Hanon in all keys. I’d recommend doing all scales first and then transposing pieces you’re working on or sight reading exercises before practicing hanon this way.

@brendamengeling4653 9 месяцев назад

I have a question for you. I find myself leaning back sometimes. I sit so with my arms outstretched my fists just touch the fallboard; I had a teacher for a few months and that’s where she positioned me. I am very curvy up top, and I think I lean back to give my arms more clearance (I don’t have long arms or legs). Do you have any suggestions on how I can better deal with this?

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 9 месяцев назад

I would suggest that you have your neutral position sitting up straight or even leaning in a little and then when needed you lean back - I’d have to see you play to say for sure but the key here is not to get stuck in one position that causes tension

@alvodin6197 9 месяцев назад

Please don't waste your time with hanon or ridiculous exercises which make zero sense. Jazz licks, runs, arpeggios and fills are ten times more useful than these boring, unmusical and non sensenical exercises. The entire premise of hanon and Czerny and all that other horse shit is wrong to begin with, so why spend so much time doing unmusical things to "strengthen" fingers than do not need strengthening in the first place?

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 9 месяцев назад

Hahaha did you watch the video? I touch on that and go much more into depth in other videos about hanon as well. You’re not wrong ;) However, there is a middle ground if you use the exercises sparingly and also for the purpose of practicing musicality - not finger strengthening.
