What do you find challenging about this Hanon?

For an independent adult learner, you are an excellent teacher. Keep it up sir for us an all.

Love it! Started piano when I was 6, never really had interested? Retraining myself as an adult, this by far increased my finger strength. The next day, fingers were sore, in a good way, excellent teacher, learned a lot, Thank you sir!

Many thanks! I'm 58, never played any instrument before, and wanted to start to play piano now. As I am trying to teach myself by watching different videos, I believe that this video is absolutely the best way to start. For a beginner, the most important thing is to be able to move and control all the fingers, otherwise, it is just impossible to play piano. This was hard to start with, but I feel now that I have my hands and fingers under much more control now. So I will keep practicing!

I just got my new piano yesterday. I've never played keyboard before, but have always wanted to. I have to say, watching Mr. Lee play this exercise was amazing! I was a helicopter pilot in the military and fully understand how the brain has to adapt to each hand and each foot accomplishing tasks that vary from each other, and to do them at the same time, but OMGosh! Watching Mr. Lee do this "simple" exercise made me wonder if those were really his hands playing, or if they were independent animals stuck to the end of his arms playing their piece apart from each other. Wow! I can't wait to get started!

For me the hardest part is to play it up to speed, but even at a slower pace I find these exercises really helpful! Thanks for the video and the tips 😉

I wish I would have seen this particular video of yours about 2 weeks ago. I started to work on Hanon One then but I have been so self conscience about my fingers not resting on the keys while one was playing ( I hope that I am saying that right) that I started to get myself depressed. But while watching this video I can see that your fingers are not all resting on the keys while one is playing. Maybe now I can relax about that and concentrate more on the actual exercise. I will go slow at first and very gradually build up speed while keeping accuracy a priority. Thank you for this video.

Thank u so much, it helps me a lot because I'm really having trouble playing with my two hands.

i'm 38.. just started learning 3 days ago. i feel like this has filled a hole in my soul. cant stop watching people play and even through my beginner mistakes i find it exhilarating, and anxiously itching to keep playing. i purchased the cts1 and i feel its a mistake, looking for a weighted 88 key, maybe the fp30x. im glad i found you. subd

[ruthkiarie]

You are such an a mazing teacher. Love how you slow down and explain in a way we can understand. You are my main coach online. Kudos!!

[Ganymede]

Just wondering how many hours of practice will get me to the level of your demo...

[fanio]

The way those fingers move!! So awesome 🤩

[hungryformusik]

Thank you for this video. I hope No. 1 helps me, because I'm often struggeling when a note is played by, say the middle finger, and two notes later the same note is played by, say the thumb. That's part of what this exercise adresses. Addendum: I just found an exercise which helps even more for this problem: No. 45
By the way, I'm always starting with the weaker hand (which is the left hand for most people), because when I'm getting interrupted, I've already done a little bit more for my weak hand. I relatively soon start with hands together in order to stay focused.

Hi Jazer, I'm totally fresh newbie, so no question at all. I just found that your explanation is easy to understand compare to the others and start follow. Thank you!
