IS HANON EXERCISES WORTH IT? 

Werner- hi! This is a phenomenonal discussion! I didn’t expect you to make the point about sight reading- but truthfully- you’re 100% right- the “secret” benefit of these exercises is that they dramatically improve your ability to sight read by building your spatial awareness of the keyboard. You are 100% correct- the exercises need to be done with intention. I would forget about the different keys and rather focus on practicing each exercise with your eyes closed. The goal is to really “see” the keyboard in your mind, using the patterns to help reinforce and confirm.

It is the most complete Hannon explanation I've ever heard in You Tube. Thank you so much Werner.

I now call you my teacher I had played the piano for like 7 years but I haven't played the way I play now due to the hanons I'm now improving on a rocket speed I'm now learning sight reading still on this channel I pray 🙏 to God that He add you more years and life for us to gain coz I'm having total change thought I haven't reached where I want to be but at least I can that I'm soon reaching

Great, My teacher makes Hanon mandatory taken 1 year to get the first 5 absolutely perfect turnarounds timing etc. notice both hands are working together finally and all fingers are equally strong. Put a lot of time and energy into it and glad you agree it is worthwhile. Never thought about endurance but that is another great benefit. Cant believe you are going to do the whole thing, thanks so much. Now on to 6-10.

i am learning form your video, Thank you so much.

Okay I only like really too piano teachers on RU-vid you and pianote. I'm 53 and I stop playing piano second grade years ago. But I went on to DJ and reproduce music in the dance scene. Always love Mozart and Baroque music could you suggest where I could start just by using your videos? Thank you thank you thank you

I have a question, i am not a beginner but i am not pianest i am keyboard player, now i am improving my piano Technics and my fingers power and speed so i decided to play hanon i am at nr 25 now but i am repeating from 1 to 25 everyday and i add 1 exercise Evey 2 3 days it depends how much time takes the previous exercise so i am adding nr 26 today, is it the right way to play hanon ?
