how on EARTH does your channel only have 3k with this quality i was expecting at least 100k... please keep making videos, you deserve great success and i am sure you will get it if you keep going ❤️ thank you so much

[danbotsford]

So many videos portray the performance (of exercise or music) without giving instruction on how to practice. Your style teaching on video is excellent. Keep it up! . Thanks!

I think one of the best tips you could give is to practice one hand at a time. I am still learning and my hands are not really that great yet but in the beginning when i picked up Hanon i did it with both hands and thought everything was great. But the problem is that the left hand covers up the right hands mistakes which means my right hand was playing at a faster pace than it actually could. So when i tried doing it one hand at a time i noticed, my right hand sucks! So i had to slow down the BPM and now i am letting my right hand catch up to my left before i progress any further. Balance.

I did 5 years of Hanon after years of bad habits, I never got tired of it, Now I only occasionally use it, it really helped, now I’m practicing Czerny

Not sure if you are checking comments after a year but on the off-chance you are... Thank you very much for this. I only took up piano 3 weeks ago and a video like this is exactly what I was looking for. A friend gave me the Hanon book but I wasn't sure whether I should be doing it or not this early. It actually seems like I totally can. Thanks' again.

[prabakaranperumal]

Splendid explanation and really you are a born teacher. Congratulations 🌹

[samuelmoss]

You have a great teaching style. I like how you talk about how to practice properly, instead of just teaching the notes

[backtoschool]

Awesome video, and tips!!

I stopped playing about 10 years ago and am starting up again . . . and yeah, I pulled out my Hanon book!!

I am trying to correct allt the years of not doing scales, or other finger drills.

ps. I love transposing finger drills!!

I also like to practice one hand staccato and the other legato, and then alternate.
