I have practiced the Hanon exercises for a few years. Into Book two for awile. I heard a thought provoking comment: "The scales are the music," all music is in the scales.@@Bassynater2500
Thanks for sharing. Im a beginner and find your teaching to be really helpful. Your detailed explanation about arm, wrist, and finger movements are especially helpful. Wish you all the best in your career.
Ex 1: ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ Feel arm weight in every note; wrist low to high, fast fingers, accented notes, push up from keys. Change keys/exercise day to day. Ex 2: 3:46 ♫ ♩ ♩ ♫ ♩ ♩ Be precise. Relax on slower note. Use wrist + elbow each exercise. Arm weight takes you to next note. Ex 3: 5:46 ♩ ♫ ♩ ♩ ♫ ♩ Relax on longer note. Stable pulse. Move elbows well on long note. Ex 4: 7:40 ♩ ♩ ♫ ♩ ♩ ♫ Keep going, this is the basic warm-up warm-up. Relax long notes, swing thru fast notes. Ex 5: 9:22 ♩ ♩ ♫ ♫ ♩ ♩ Don't rush, 4 notes in one movement. (Can add variations if it feels needed). Ex 6: 11:05 ♩ 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♩ 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 (triplets, 3x 𝅘𝅥𝅮 = 1x ♩ ) Each four notes one group; use the elbow for the length of the (long) note. Again, no rushing. Ex 7: 12:14 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♩ 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♩ (triplets) Still relaxing on long note; check wrist rising during the 4 note sequence. Ex 8: 13:24 ♩ 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♩ (still triplets) Use elbows to turn around at the highest note of the group (and lowest going down). Full arm weight into long notes counters any rushing. (PS: I noticed she was playing with small wrist circles too - that may not work with different Hanon exercises though) Ex 9: 14:34 ♩ ♩ ♬♬♫ Use elbow at highest point of group. Play each group clearly to the end and hear each note clearly defined. Ex 10: 15:41 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯 Each pair of notes in one movement. Go low with wrist before pushing the fast note. Feels heavy-light: heavy on the fast note. Ex 11: 16:35 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 Should feel more flexible. OK to exaggerate movement. Ex 12 17:25 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯 Impulse from the up beat. Ex 13 18:34𝅼 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮‿𝅘𝅥𝅮‿𝅘𝅥𝅮‿𝅘𝅥𝅮 Staccato and legato. Prepare on key before each staccato note so pushing away from the key. Right technique important, so take speed slower if needed. Four legato notes in one movement with elbow guiding. Ex 14 19:24 𝅘𝅥𝅮‿𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮‿𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 Relax on legato notes; heavy-light feeling on two legato notes. Ex 15 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮‿𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮‿𝅘𝅥𝅮 (as ex 14) Ex 16 21:08 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅾 𝅘𝅥𝅯. 𝅘𝅥𝅯 𝅘𝅥𝅯. 𝅘𝅥𝅯 (dotted note not legato slur) Every impulse starts in the stomach. Prepare each staccato so not falling into the key. Relax on dotted (long) note. Ex 17 22:00 𝅘𝅥𝅯‿𝅼𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅼 𝅀𝄾𝅘𝅥𝅯‿𝅼𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅼 𝅀𝄾𝅘𝅥𝅯‿𝅼𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅼 𝅀𝄾𝅘𝅥𝅯‿𝅼𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅼 𝅀𝄾 Last exercise, cool down. Relax on rest; use wrist to push away from keys. Start group with low wrist, be in position to push down. Focus to the end. (BTW I added quaver rests - I assume this was the intention).
@@aBachwardsfellow Not sure. I was just using unicode music characters and also combining characters in the last few lines. Combining chars I believe may not display properly on some android devices if you are not using the default font (the staccatissimo marks??). But I am not any kind of expert... if you have another solution, put it in a comment and I can paste it in.
@@hippophile I didn't even know you could use the unicode characters. I'm looking at it from a Windows 10 laptop. One kludgy way I've done it is to use the first letter of each note value (w = whole, h = half, q = quarter, e = eighth, s = sixteenth, t -= thirty-second -- followed by a dot when applicable, and dots below on the next line for staccato) and space it out so a sense of the rhythmic proportion is seen. So for example: Ex 2: 3:46: e e q q e e q q Ex 3: 5:46: q e e q q e e q etc. ( .. kludgy ... )
I feel hugely inspired after watching this video! I think everyone would love a hanon series maybe eventually covering all the three parts of the Hanon 60 exercises book!
This is so helpful! I used to hate Hanon as a kid when I was taking lessons. Now as an adult I finally realize how important posture and warm-ups are. I'm going to start implementing this as part of my routine warm-up every session. Thank you!!
Excellent! The hanon book itself gives some advice about postures, but they are very basics. UA-camrs used to play them very quickly like this was the original reason. I train on my own schedule and method. The already played very well, looking to the ceiling, for about 7 times without a single error, then, next time, this lesson will be played only in 2 octaves, just to keep the key memory. I implemented some kind of rhythm to facilitate memorization. One thing that helps a lot is murmuring (humming) the "sound". Exercises became really easier to get in shape. Btw, I start every exercise one hand at time. 1x each hand begging by left, using one octave, then maybe 2 octaves depending on how easy/hard I feel about. Then I start playing with both hands, 1 octave. Always become slow...very slow The important is right key over right finger without tension. I restarted my lessons without maestro (he died long ago by old age, B"H) and decided that Hanon would be like an old typewriter machine course (yes, I'm THAT old). Well, after 2 months my fingers are very well thanks, I'm much much more confident and more comfortable. My fingers "know" by themselves where are the notes (remember the typewriter machine course? Yeah) These were my 2 cents trying to motivate people. Play piano is amazing.....and Hanon can become great melodies and songs
Really enjoying this as a daily warmup for strength and attention to articulation. I'm a jazz pianist and played these years ago, but always played them as written. I found a new joy in practicing these in all 12 keys. Thank you!
Just wanna say : A very big Bravo, it makes a big pleasure to take Hanon, not annoying. All best wishes to achieve more and more Grüße aus Berlin Merci bien
I’ve been playing piano for years but never did Hanon. Just did this routine with you for the first time ever and what a workout! Thank you for putting this up. Your explanations and tips throughout really helped bring my attention and focus back to the task when my mind wandered.
Thanks for posting this video. Adding different phrasing,rhythm, and articulation makes the exercise much more beneficial. Would love to see more videos on your practice routine.
I'm so glad you posted this - and are *NOT* LIFTING THE FINGERS HIGH* (per the incorrectly-translated instructions). This is the way I use the the Hanon patterns and find them to actually be useful. Your instructions for these are also great for scale and arpeggio practice as well, and the suggestion to practice the transfer of weight into the fingers in the various patterns away from the keyboard is pure genious! Of course that can be done -- and can be very effective since only the five tingers in sequence are involved. The rhythms become particularly helpful in other keys. Triplets become more interesting when starting on different notes other than the first one. I find playing Hanon in 10ths and 6ths helpful to increase focus and relieve monotony -- especially in other keys. I also find playing the harmonic minors add even more interest (try F# harmonic in 10ths or 6ths ... ). I also sometimes combine Hanon exercises -- for example, one of my favorite combinations is alternating between one measure of exercise #1 and one measure of exercise #5. Perhaps if you do an extended video on Hanon you may want to try some of those ... 🙂
you and I had very different goals in doing Hanon. I did each one (of the first 20) in all twelve keys before moving on to the next (of the first 20), and I usually did just one octave up and down not two octaves. I went around in circle of fourths (C, F, Bflat, Eflat, etc, etc, etc, D, G, C) and by the time I got back to C everything was perfectly smooth no matter how irregular I had started. and I'd do all 20 before calling at a day. Then I went on to doing them backwards as well, in order to get more variations. One thing I did was disregard the fingering notations, and came up with my own strategy, which works for most of them, which is this, only move the hand (change hand positions) when the thumb is on a key, which IMHO eliminates hand position anxiety. I did this because I needed to become more familiar with all 12 keys, and because my fingers are not equally independent (oddly my right hand 4th and 5th fingers are almost inseparable, but not my left hand (I had played some classical guitar before piano)). A side benefit is that I ended up with a much better sense of what piano key would correspond to a melody note I had in mind, something I had almost zero ability before doing Hanon in all 12 keys. So to sum it up, I did not do Hanon for rhythm and articulation practice, I did it for keyboard familiarity in all 12 keys and get better finger independence, and as a side benefit ended up with a better sense of hand-ear coordination (to invent a phrase).
Os 20 primeiros exercícios sao de força e agilidade, não precisa usar em todos os tons. Ja as escala e arpejos sim, deve usar em ate 4/8 alem dos movimentos contrários.
I have been intrigued by the Hanon exercises for many years, and this is a great video which I managed to effortlessly watch straight through. That said, the lack of dotted quavers in exercise 10-12 really threw me at first! Keep up the good work.
Obrigado por sua contribuição. Excelente demostração. Bravíssimo. Jamais encontrei um vídeo de demonstração de como tocar o Hannon com tantos detalhes como este vídeo. Bravo, Obrigado❤
I don't know why but I actually sat through all 24 minutes of the exercise. :D. Thank you! This was a very informative tutorial and I have been doing this exercise for the past week. One request: Could you index the different exercises on the timeline? That way we can jump to the specific exercise we want to practice. Thanks again!
Please do a full Hanon series!!! Okay, so I tried the full exercise and it’s harder than it looks 😅 But this is the best warmup I’ve ever tried. My fingers just seemed to glide over the keys after I finished! Thank you!!!
When I was a kid my teacher started me on Hanon. After the first exercise she knew it was the end of that -- but I still start my warm-up 65 years later with that simple C major exercise! At age 72 I can no longer play in one afternoon through Beethoven's Appassionata 3 times -- and then the Brahms F minor sonata 2 times -- and then Beethoven's Pathétique or Moonlight sonata after a warm-up of Brahms op. 79 nos. 1 & 2, Mendelssohn's op. 14 and Schubert's op. 90. no. 2 - all in one practice session. (I suffered a wrist injury from that) -- and then playing Bach and Mozart on the flute a few hours later after my daily drive across the bridge into Canada (where I had a room with perfect acustics to play my flute). Two days ago I played through Beethoven's third movement of the Tempest, Chopin's B flat minor Nocturne -- then six Brahms pieces -- then Mozart's K 332, then Beethoven's Appassionata. Finally I played through Mendelssohn's op. 14 and Brahms op. 79 no. 1. I wanted to play more ( Schubert op. 90 no. 2 and Brahms op. 79 no. 2), but I felt and understood I could not do that. In my heart I want to practice like I did when I was 46, but at 72, I can't do it any more. I try, but I suffer the consequences of overexertion at old age. I take a couple of days break, drink some red wine, and then get back to Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, Schubert, and Chopin. Three years of practice after 16 years away from the piano have brought me back to the threshold of playing well again. Since I went 20 years without practice from 1978 to 1998 without practice, I knew already I could do it again even at age 69. My twin brother went 40 years without practice. He expressed doubts that it was possible to play well again at 69 after so many years. I told him he could do it. He kept at it, and started teaching piano to his four year old son. His son, now 8 years old, has progressed way beyond the level we were at his age. I hope my nephew will achieve pianistically what life's circumstances prevented me and my brother from achieving.
Yes yes yes!!! Please do your Hanon exercise series in ALL KEYS!! I would be so happy if you would as this will help me get a better feel for the geography of the piano in all 12 keys! Thank you and have many blessings!!
My teacher made me practice all Hanon series of exercises on the black keys, C sharp major. It really help me get a better feeling of the keyboard once I had to study anything back down on the white keys.
My teacher has mentioned to me playing with different rhythms like this to really internalize the exercises but haven’t heard of playing them in different key signatures 😮 I’ll give it a try! Would love to see a Hanon series on the different parts of the book!
I think it's not needed if you hate it. There are plenty of etudes or sonatinas etc. that can be used to train technique which are more musically rewarding.
@@Sibeliu thanks for the reply. I think I just said I hated it because I find it hard. However, you make it look easy so I’m thinking I might just try the first exercise again and see how it goes.
Thank you for this training routine ☺️ I did it while watching, the hand relaxation is the hardest point for me especially during the last exercises. I’ll try practicing it to see the improvements. 👍
Oh my, that is such an old book. It's the book I used as a kid learning how to play thw puano. I'm 56 now. I still have the book, but I can't find it. I keep coming across the cover. I actually enjoyed doing tese exercises. Maybe I'll go back to them. I know Czerny is good, but I was fond of Hanon.
Awesome! I’m practicing with this video everyday just because it’s so good and because your voice will remind me im not the only nerd practicing Hanon in 2024 😂

Thanks for sharing. Im a beginner and find your teaching to be really helpful. Your detailed explanation about arm, wrist, and finger movements are especially helpful. Wish you all the best in your career.
Ex 1: ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ Feel arm weight in every note; wrist low to high, fast fingers, accented notes, push up from keys. Change keys/exercise day to day.
Ex 2: 3:46 ♫ ♩ ♩ ♫ ♩ ♩ Be precise. Relax on slower note. Use wrist + elbow each exercise. Arm weight takes you to next note.
Ex 3: 5:46 ♩ ♫ ♩ ♩ ♫ ♩ Relax on longer note. Stable pulse. Move elbows well on long note.
Ex 4: 7:40 ♩ ♩ ♫ ♩ ♩ ♫ Keep going, this is the basic warm-up warm-up. Relax long notes, swing thru fast notes.
Ex 5: 9:22 ♩ ♩ ♫ ♫ ♩ ♩ Don't rush, 4 notes in one movement. (Can add variations if it feels needed).
Ex 6: 11:05 ♩ 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♩ 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 (triplets, 3x 𝅘𝅥𝅮 = 1x ♩ ) Each four notes one group; use the elbow for the length of the (long) note. Again, no rushing.
Ex 7: 12:14 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♩ 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♩ (triplets) Still relaxing on long note; check wrist rising during the 4 note sequence.

(PS: I noticed she was playing with small wrist circles too - that may not work with different Hanon exercises though)
Ex 9: 14:34 ♩ ♩ ♬♬♫ Use elbow at highest point of group. Play each group clearly to the end and hear each note clearly defined.
Ex 10: 15:41 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯 Each pair of notes in one movement. Go low with wrist before pushing the fast note. Feels heavy-light: heavy on the fast note.
Ex 11: 16:35 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 Should feel more flexible. OK to exaggerate movement.

Yes, a full series of Hanson please
I’ve been wishing for a guide to Hanon for a while, thank you!
10 years of lessons by three different teachers, but I was never taught the correct way to play the Hanon exercises. Thanks.
you and I had very different goals in doing Hanon. I did each one (of the first 20) in all twelve keys before moving on to the next (of the first 20), and I usually did just one octave up and down not two octaves. I went around in circle of fourths (C, F, Bflat, Eflat, etc, etc, etc, D, G, C) and by the time I got back to C everything was perfectly smooth no matter how irregular I had started. and I'd do all 20 before calling at a day. Then I went on to doing them backwards as well, in order to get more variations. One thing I did was disregard the fingering notations, and came up with my own strategy, which works for most of them, which is this, only move the hand (change hand positions) when the thumb is on a key, which IMHO eliminates hand position anxiety.
I did this because I needed to become more familiar with all 12 keys, and because my fingers are not equally independent (oddly my right hand 4th and 5th fingers are almost inseparable, but not my left hand (I had played some classical guitar before piano)).
A side benefit is that I ended up with a much better sense of what piano key would correspond to a melody note I had in mind, something I had almost zero ability before doing Hanon in all 12 keys.
So to sum it up, I did not do Hanon for rhythm and articulation practice, I did it for keyboard familiarity in all 12 keys and get better finger independence, and as a side benefit ended up with a better sense of hand-ear coordination (to invent a phrase).
Os 20 primeiros exercícios sao de força e agilidade, não precisa usar em todos os tons. Ja as escala e arpejos sim, deve usar em ate 4/8 alem dos movimentos contrários.
It's a very detail warm up exercise with different rhythm and articulation, thank you Annique for sharing!
I have been intrigued by the Hanon exercises for many years, and this is a great video which I managed to effortlessly watch straight through. That said, the lack of dotted quavers in exercise 10-12 really threw me at first! Keep up the good work.
Please make more Hanon videos like this❤ I have just started learning piano and I really really love the way you make everything so fun and clear❤
Obrigado por sua contribuição. Excelente demostração. Bravíssimo. Jamais encontrei um vídeo de demonstração de como tocar o Hannon com tantos detalhes como este vídeo. Bravo, Obrigado❤
I don't know why but I actually sat through all 24 minutes of the exercise. :D. Thank you! This was a very informative tutorial and I have been doing this exercise for the past week. One request: Could you index the different exercises on the timeline? That way we can jump to the specific exercise we want to practice. Thanks again!
I literally love this I actively followed along with the video playing
You definitely should do a full seriessss
More please! Liked it!
I missed these type of videos. Thank you, Annique!
This is the first longest video that I have ever seen on UA-cam only for Hannon.👏 Thank you very much for it!❤
Oh, I'm so excited to learn this. I don't have a piano teacher so it's so nice of you to give such in-depth guidance! :)
Wow! So helpful. I guess I've been playing hanon wrong for a long time!
Please do a full Hanon series!!!
Okay, so I tried the full exercise and it’s harder than it looks 😅 But this is the best warmup I’ve ever tried. My fingers just seemed to glide over the keys after I finished! Thank you!!!
When I was a kid my teacher started me on Hanon. After the first exercise she knew it was the end of that -- but I still start my warm-up 65 years later with that simple C major exercise!
At age 72 I can no longer play in one afternoon through Beethoven's Appassionata 3 times -- and then the Brahms F minor sonata 2 times -- and then Beethoven's Pathétique or Moonlight sonata after a warm-up of Brahms op. 79 nos. 1 & 2, Mendelssohn's op. 14 and Schubert's op. 90. no. 2 - all in one practice session. (I suffered a wrist injury from that) -- and then playing Bach and Mozart on the flute a few hours later after my daily drive across the bridge into Canada (where I had a room with perfect acustics to play my flute).
Two days ago I played through Beethoven's third movement of the Tempest, Chopin's B flat minor Nocturne -- then six Brahms pieces -- then Mozart's K 332, then Beethoven's Appassionata. Finally I played through Mendelssohn's op. 14 and Brahms op. 79 no. 1. I wanted to play more ( Schubert op. 90 no. 2 and Brahms op. 79 no. 2), but I felt and understood I could not do that. In my heart I want to practice like I did when I was 46, but at 72, I can't do it any more. I try, but I suffer the consequences of overexertion at old age. I take a couple of days break, drink some red wine, and then get back to Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, Schubert, and Chopin. Three years of practice after 16 years away from the piano have brought me back to the threshold of playing well again. Since I went 20 years without practice from 1978 to 1998 without practice, I knew already I could do it again even at age 69. My twin brother went 40 years without practice. He expressed doubts that it was possible to play well again at 69 after so many years. I told him he could do it. He kept at it, and started teaching piano to his four year old son. His son, now 8 years old, has progressed way beyond the level we were at his age. I hope my nephew will achieve pianistically what life's circumstances prevented me and my brother from achieving.
SO awesome to hear! That gives me hope here now in my mid-70's and after 40 years without serious practice ... it is coming back slowly -- very...
Please, all Hanon!!!🙏
19:30 this sound sounds so universaly awesome, following along! great help!
Memories. 🍃
Chopsticks' the best piece back then. 😆
Yes yes yes!!! Please do your Hanon exercise series in ALL KEYS!! I would be so happy if you would as this will help me get a better feel for the geography of the piano in all 12 keys! Thank you and have many blessings!!
My teacher made me practice all Hanon series of exercises on the black keys, C sharp major. It really help me get a better feeling of the keyboard once I had to study anything back down on the white keys.
I would love you to do more of such guided practice sessions
I love this so much. I've played this routine everyday for the last 5 days.
I'd love to see more of it. Maybe with arpeggios, octaves, jumps, ...?
My teacher has mentioned to me playing with different rhythms like this to really internalize the exercises but haven’t heard of playing them in different key signatures 😮 I’ll give it a try! Would love to see a Hanon series on the different parts of the book!
Simple enough to comprehend and incorporate in my practice time!
She is so lovely.
This is awesome thank you! would love more of this content!
I’ve only been playing for about 18 months but I bought a Hanon book- hated it! After this video I think I may give it another try.
I think it's not needed if you hate it. There are plenty of etudes or sonatinas etc. that can be used to train technique which are more musically rewarding.
@@Sibeliu thanks for the reply. I think I just said I hated it because I find it hard. However, you make it look easy so I’m thinking I might just try the first exercise again and see how it goes.
I'd love a full Hanon series!
thank you for your kindness
This right here is pure gold! It's gonna help me a lot! ❤ Thank you! Also exercises 6 to 10 give Family Adams vibes 😂 10 and 11 sound ragtime
absolute beginner here - I had great joy doing this thanks a lot!
I get excited everytime you post a video ❤️
You’d be best shifting these exercises into different keys than repeating them all in c major to familiarise yourself with all
Always struggled with Hanon. This video makes it seem doable. Thanks!😊
Thank you for this training routine ☺️
I did it while watching, the hand relaxation is the hardest point for me especially during the last exercises. I’ll try practicing it to see the improvements. 👍
A full Hanon Series please!!! ❤
Estou estudando diariamente, acompanhando você. Sinto que o controle das articulações do metacarpo melhorou bastante
This is GOLD!!
Thank you so much!! I’m going to warm up with this so much, my arms feel great
I waited so much time for this video 🎉
Your sense of humour is so infectious ❤👍🥁🇬🇧❤️
Great discipline!
Cheers!
Thank you so much for this video! Its improved my technique in a very short amount of time. Can you do one for arpeggios?
wow, this is gold
I know a number of musicians who know the value of these exercises., The fundamentals are beneficial beyond words. I'm in book two for awhile now.
I need to start practicing making sure I’m on point timing wise and endurance!!!
full series please ❤
Thank you. I played along and it's very helpful. I would love to have it some other tonality as well. Thanks!

Bravo!! La importancia de tener un buen profesor. Por desgracia hay profesores que no saben explicar estas cosas
Oh my, that is such an old book. It's the book I used as a kid learning how to play thw puano. I'm 56 now. I still have the book, but I can't find it. I keep coming across the cover. I actually enjoyed doing tese exercises. Maybe I'll go back to them. I know Czerny is good, but I was fond of Hanon.
This video is hypnotic.
maybe hanontic? 😂
Awesome! I’m practicing with this video everyday just because it’s so good and because your voice will remind me im not the only nerd practicing Hanon in 2024 😂
I really need more of these it's so usefull 😅
NIce really need this, fits my level well.
Thank you very much. I enjoyed playing along with you. ❤
woww, didn't expect this
Two days and I feel such a difference.
"I'm sure some that some of you are watching this video on a special place..."
Me: *on the toilet*
Getting called out lol
I feel so seen
İ’m on my bed.😊
@@onemanfran in a place most ppl don't want to feel seen
