thank you for your tutorial.

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. Show less Reply

Thanks so much for this!

Hello Janci...Although I studied this piece a long time ago,I took pleasure watching your very instructive tutorial...However,you didn't insert the ornaments,lower mordents for most of them,except for the last one on bar 30..It impacts the fingering..I have a question: how should I understand in the second part,the quarter note rests on some of the notes(left hand)...Does it mean I have to hold the note longer,like a slur?...Being French,I'm trying to find the proper translation of "voicing"...Would it be "expressiveness","harmony",or something else? Thanks for your explanation...

I saw a demo where Jacob Collier beat 31 vs 32 with each hand on his chest, and you could actually hear the interval progressing one through the other, with the alignment at the end. It was nuts. I guess you can train yourself to do anything. That 4 to 3 and back instantaneous transition looks difficult, as well, to a lesser degree, probably. I expect doing instantaneous accurate transitions such as 3,4,5,6,7 or some such would be even more difficult. All of those upper level scales look basically nuts, to me. ;-)

Thank you for your informative and helpful videos. I'm a elderly beginner and your videos help me so much.

Can you recommend a piano/ keyboard to my daughter, 10 years old.. I want to start with your videos before sending to classes

Fantastic and well articulated video, thank you!

Hand over hand. Liberating. Expansive. Thsnks. And fun.

Thanks. I've been practicing these Hanon exercises for a few years. Your lesson has answered questions I've had for some time. The fluidity of the circular technique will improve my playing very much and eliminate tightness in the wrists. Good camera angles on keyboard, And term treble C is new as well. Yea!!!❤

I am playing this exercise the way she suggests and it's helping me a lot, instead injuring as some suggest, I feel very flexible and better to play piano music! Do it and prove for your self!

Thank you for this video. I'm 72 years old and have been a guitar player since I was 9 in 1961. I also taught guitar over 27 years and studied theory in the early '70's at my local community college. I'm just starting piano and reading bass clef. Your review of Alfred's is pretty much what I expected. Thanks again and wish me luck😃

A hack at work.

Thank you, madam professor, for your very informative presentation.

Thank you for your insightful and highly informative presentation.

Thanks for your methods of teaching, it’s a great help to practice this beautiful piece ❤❤❤

Thanks so much for your teaching video, it’s very helpful ❤❤❤

You may play almost all the notes correctly, but all people will point out is bar 30 beat 3 when you hit a wrong note.

The way I was told when I was a kid

I'm self taught and your channel has helped me improve my playing. Thank you for posting these helpful videos.

Beautiful

Your videos are awesome! Do you teach individuals online?

Fantastic ❤

Very helpful!❤

Ver very helpful, thanks!❤

You are very well spoken and articulated. I think I didn't hear you stuttering or missing a word once. It was so fluid through the entire video. I came for the piano and your video was pretty useful for me. But I ended up surprised by flawless communication skills.

One of the points with Hanon exercises is to develop strength in the 4th and 5th fingers. How may I ask are you supposed to develop strength in those fingers if you compensate by this enormous rotation of the hand outwards everytime you use 4 and 5? :D

Thank you for the fantastic video! Bought the Faber and have beeen enjoying.

Thank you so much for your helpful Videos. Your advice help me to avoid injuries and tensions. I have never seen such an deep dived view what really happens in the hands of a professional pianist dringend he is playing. Thank you so much. Your videos receive more attention

almost on first place in speed playing! No correct phrasing, no Charme in the music, no pleasure in playing and listening - but fast, yeah!

why in measure 17 says Em scale ? It has no E note at all. It looks more like G scale.

Great video but what kind of sicko uses decimals and rates something on a scale of 1? "Yeah I'll give this a 0.32 out of 2/3" lmao this would make way more sense if you just rated things on a scale of 10 like a normal human being

Waiting for your new video

really loved this - thanks

I have a 1906 upright and would love to run things by you if you're willing - I'm not looking to sell, i'm a player and woodwoker. I appreciate your video so much!

cara, já toquei isso e nao lembro de uma nota....

Officially start classical training next month, this is my first piece I’ve been working! I’m memorized now and just working on transitions and getting it up to speed, we’ll see how my professor likes it

I don't shop with Amazon, so I used my local music store to get my books. I ordered the Faber and Alfred books since we are in a French speaking area. They sent the Faber Volume 1, but the Alfred Volume 2. So I was using Faber. But when I went in to talk music at the store, I saw that I didn't know how to talk music in French. They had a La Methode Rose as a bilingual book, but it was French and British. Later on I found John Thompson, and I have Volume 1 and 2. The Thompson has become my favorite. I didn't buy the first introductory book of Thompson, which I would use if I was an absolute beginner. LMR is not a beginners book, nor a childrens book. But I've gone back to it several times as a sightreading exercise. And I learned the Alberti bass very well.

"Boomer" of 65 years of age here. Ignore my comments as appropriate. I started when I was 12 or 13 years old. I had a private piano teacher for a once-a-week 30-minute lesson for three years. I was assigned the John Thompson Adult Preparatory Course Book 1, and that was followed by the John Thompson Modern Piano Course, books 1 and 2. I suppose the methodology and pedagogy was not up to what is expected these days. But, and "for my money" the most important thing for a beginning student who is not hugely motivated from the start, I enjoyed most of the music in the books. The emphasis was on classical music, simplified arrangements of famous classical themes, and also of some spirituals and other folk songs. In addition to easier unsimplified classical pieces. My teacher would play through various of the pieces for me, and if I liked a given piece, that was great motivation to try to learn it myself. In any case, my love of the piano and music in general increased gradually, and over time I became crazy about the piano. The main thing, to me, is that the music was attractive enough to hold my interest. I've read through some pieces in Faber and Alfred in the past, and I felt they were ho-hum. Ho-hum is not good enough to inspire much enjoyment. If I were a piano teacher--I'm not--I would always play through pieces for my students if they were not familiar with the music, so that the students could hear if the music interested them enough to want to try to learn a given piece. Ideally, I suppose, students should be able to listen to all of the pieces in various methods to see which method had the music that was most attractive to them. And then choose that method. It doesn't matter how great the "pedagogical content" is if the music doesn't engage students. Then again, what engages me might well bore younger people these days. In any case, thank you very much for this thorough and comprehensive review of four piano methods. I respect your obvious command of the principles of piano pedagogy!

bro said i am a pianist and asking which music is that 😭

Curious! Instead of straightening your fingers over the black keys, why not just keep the finger curved, lift your wrist, and play more into the black keys? If your fingers are curled, they are in a straight line instead of the curve you show when playing a 5-finger C-scale. If they are curved, rather than straight, you have more control to keep each note even.

what edition was the music?

Hello Darling, nice lessons. But all along I was watching you moving backward and forward.... You are stunningly beautiful hope you have been mine honey. Are you single sweetie?

Well done

That's classic Hutcheson technique

After finally growing my nails out, they now have to go...Sadge ;(

❤❤❤❤❤

Love how you teach.
