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 dont know what to think of these exercises. Starting out on classical piano a few weeks ago. Hanon was easy and fun to play, I worked on these among other things, playing # 1 - 10 and # 31 wich is really pretty ! Problem was I got pain in my hand, although I wasnt forching, speeding or any hard playing. Now I take a break from Hanon. If I ever go back, and I think I will, I must think of playing 1: relaxed, relaxed, relaxed. 2: slow, slow, slow.

Thanks for this helpful video. How do I learn all exercises. Do I practice #1 first at 60 speed, double notes, increase up to 108. Then move on to #2 and repeat?
@pianowithemma2 жыл бұрын
I wouldn’t worry about speeding up the exercises to 108 (in sixteenth notes) until you’ve played at least the first 10 exercises at a slower tempo. Start at quarter notes at 60, then do eighth notes at 60, then work up to 84-96 as a maintenance speed. Go back later to speed them up. Learning them slowly and accurately and cleanly is always much more important than speed.

Move on to the next exercise once you can play it confidently hands together at a moderate tempo. You can get benefits from Hanon without having to get it up to 108 bpm; that's just a good goal.

As far as Hanon goes, this is a fairly good presentation -- especially regarding tempo, touch, rhythm, dynamics, and key changes (playing in other keys) . I've also found that playing them in 10ths and 6ths adds even more musical interest and challenge -- especially in other keys. For a really nice challenge, also play the patterns in harmonic minor keys -- and in 10ths and 6ths. This gives a really nice workout in terms of developing micro-movements and adjustments due to the stretch between the 6th and 7th tones. Thankfully you are using a "close touch" (or perhaps Taubman) technic and are *NOT lifting the fingers* (contrary to what the instructions in Hanon indicate). It would be good for you to point this out and empahsize it, as many people -- especially self-taught -- read the instructions and really damage themselves by lifting their fingers when playing "Hanon". Unfortunately you speak of Hanon (as do many who should know better) as though all 60 exercises are repetitive 5-finger patterns. Perhaps you're unaware (as are many -- who should know better) -- that *Hanon is NOT 60 5-finger patterns* . The simple repetitive 5-finger patterns are only the first 20 exercises. Exercises 21 - 31 are more complex 5-finger patterns, (with exercise 31 being in 10ths instead of octaves); beginning with exercise 32 and continuing through exercise 38 are thumb and finger crossing exercises and some scale prep exercises. Beginning with "Hanon" "exercise" #39 are the standard *scales* , *arpeggios* , *octaves* , *double 3rds* , and *more* -- all of which are considerably more advanced than the first 31 5-finger patterns. So -- technically -- *whenever you're practicing scales, arpeggios, and octaves* , you're also *practicing* *Hanon* ... :-) 1- 20 are the five-finger exercise patterns - most commonly-known as "Hanon" exercises. 21 - 31 are "transcendent" which combine 4-note patterns into 8-note patterns; 32 - 37 involve thumb crossings; 38 is a scale prep; 39 is simply all the major and harmonic and melodic minor scales in parallel octaves; 40 is chromatic scales - parallel octaves, minor 3rds, minor and major 6ths; contrary beginning on the octave, minor, and major 3rd 41 is triad arpeggios -- all major and minor 42 is full diminished 7th arpeggios 43 is dominant 7th arpeggios (major dominant 7ths beginning on white notes, and C major major 7th) 44 repeated notes groups of 3 45 repeated notes groups of 2 46 trills 47 repeated notes groups of 4 48 wrist exercises - double 3rds and 6ths 49 stretches of a 6th between fingers 1 -4 and 2 - 5 50 legato double 3rds, scales in 3rds 51 octaves (double - in each hand) 52 common scales in double 3rds 53 scales in double octaves - major and harmonic minor 54 trills in double 3rds 55 "threefold" trills in 1st inversion triads - double 4ths (RH) with single trill in bass (LH) 56 scales in broken octaves - major and harmonic minor 57 broken arpeggios in double octaves - major and minor triads 58 double octaves held while playing inner notes of triads 59 trills in double 6ths 60 tremolo

I agree with everything in the video, but I wish you would have adressed what Hanon says about how to play the exercises, with the fingers lifted high, which as far as I can tell is an outdated approach that increases hand strain and risk of injury. You clearly don't do that in this video, which is good, but it could be confusing when learners see what Hanon wrote.
