One of the bests if not the best tutorials on hanon thanks for the hard work and hours put into this, it has helped me a lot. Greetings from Puerto Rico
Thank you so much! I’ve always known that these exercises would help with my playing. I’ve picked up the Hanon book in the music store, on many occasions, flicked through it and thought “I could never do that”. Well now I can do it and what’s more, it’s fun!
I feel this hanon book really does help. I’ve been on excercise 1 for about a week now trying to perfect it before moving onto wxcercise 2. I started at 80 and I felt pretty good about it but what i didn’t realize was that my left was completely lacking strength, I could’ve even play my left hand correctly at 60 bpm, I had to go down to 40. But now I’m playing it at 70 bpm. Until I reach 108 or just 110, I’ll move to excercize 2
I put words to each exercise. #1 when you repeat it, says to me "Let's All Go and Try to Do It". #2 is You Can Do This. #3 is You Can Do It, You Can Do It. #4 is See How Well That I Can Do This. #5 for me says, Anyone Can Actually Do This, Anyone Can Actually Do This. It's pretty funny really, I've created ditties for 31 of the exercises already. It helps me keep the rhythm as I'm playing. I've been away from the exercises for a few months and am looking forward to getting back to them after seeing this video. Thank you.
Saludos y bendiciones desde Lima Perú. Gracias por compartir su arte y conocimientos. Espero llegar hasta el ejercicio nro. 60 Thanks a lot. Congratulations
Thanks a lot for these videos. I have no problem working the C major scale in Hanon exercises. But when I'm working on D major or other scales, I have a hard time, especially on the black keys. Do you have any advice on this?
Thankyou very much for the tutorials.. and thankgod its not just for professionals.. i have been learning since a year and a half but no confidence whatsoever.. i think now with your tutorials i can gain some.. *bows*
The best tutorial I ever see some others said "for beginners" but that's not true they assume that you know how to play piano than you very Greetings from Puerto Rico
Thanks for this. Can i ask a question please, should one slightly and fluently move the wrist abit or leave that absolutely frozen? And what does it mean of one should proceed through the major keys, do these have the regular fingerings too? Or just 1,2,3 4,5?
All of these, but if you’re tense in your hands, you might also be tense in your forearm and/or shoulders. Drop your shoulders and hang like a rag doll, then bring your hands to the keys
Thank you. My piano teacher recommended me do these exercises plus do the Alfred’s self taught piano book. The yellow book. But I’m not far enough to read the actual sheet music for the hanon exercises so this helps A LOT. Thank you.
Do I have to make all the fingers very curvy? When I curve them, the 4 fingers won't sound right. When I flat them a little, I can't play at speed. What do you think?
The biggest difficulty I've had was doing this exercise both handed. I have mastered the left and right but when jumping onto both hands I get mixed up, but practice, practice and more practice will help
That is correct. And practicing slowly, getting a feel of what movements need to happen is key. Good luck. The next exercises will start going much easier. :-)
Just kidding Rowling , we sat down agaik yesterday and i was surprised she didnt even know hanon. we went through the first five excercises and she had so many corrections though. fingers, elbow... made a huge difference.
@@oooodaxteroooo I'm a drummer who plays piano badly, because there are fewer pianists than drummers out and about. How does anyone not know Hanon? Even i knew. And I'm s drummer.
I know! Just take things slow when you try any new exercise or piece for that matter. Practice hands separately as much as possible to get the hang of it before attempting hands together. Eventually succeeding exercises will go much quicker. :-)
😂. It happened once. I think when I was doing Exercise no 3 or so. I stressed. 🥺Struggled to get the perm ink of. One of the reasons I switched to text. ☺️
