Hanon is a great tool, for many reason, that many pedagogy of the piano must realize. Whether you are a beginner, or a seasoned pianist or one, who has left the piano for many years and have decided to return to this monster of a keyboard with 88 teeth, Hanon, places you on the path to rejuvenation . What developments are meant for the fingers, hands, wrists, etc, are just mere reasons, why you should get into the Hanon Studies. These parallelism can be approach from many different ways paraphrasing as you go along, from the octaves to the tenths which will decrease any borders of repetition. Articulations involving, staccato vs. legato within each passage. Mainly, these exercises can be played musically, like children themes all based upon the C Major Scale. Many conservatories throughout the world focus all 12 tonalities. But, the true basis of this study is to search your mind from such a stiffening mindset pattern to that that leads to technical freedom, as if your brain, hands, wrist, arms, are functioning on auto pilot. You can accomplish many ways of getting your life necessities done, just going through the excesses without total concentration of doing them, make your coffee, do Hanon, things you must finish with a deadline, while doing Hanon. I would say that these studies are quick to develop the brain, mind, etc, as much as they are in developing your fingers to play the piano. There is insight in discovery, look to this as not just an exercise, but a path to secure your present as well as your future. My piano students are totally aware of this aspect.

Great vid. All viewers, make sure you're using a metronome when you practice this.

Thank you. I just finished watching this. I had asked chatgot to suggest a beginner friendly video for hanon exercise 1 and it suggested this video. Glad i came here. Very clear instructions :)

Thank you
I started Czerny years ago and stopped but interested trying Hanon as intro thank you for such a good video.

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!

[eliargumedo]

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

Thank s so much for compiling all these Hanon exercises, really appreciate your time and effort

[eyesontheprize]

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.
