Guys! Hanon seems to be the thing to Go To when working on technique! Do you agree? 💥💥💥
Best video I have seen on Hanon, at least playing wise. It is nice to hear someone with a sense of time.
Cheers! Glad you like it! DId you watch the other 2 Hanon videos I made?
@@UgniusPianist I will check them out. Thanks!
Blown away with the speed and accuracy of your fingers movements,😄👏🏼this should easily take until my next birth to achieve it 😂
I have played and practised *Hanon* and *Dohnanyi* for years and in different scales too and they took me from level zero to HERO. 😁 You have explained so well about hand gestures and articulation and I believe that Hanon's advanced exercises for scales in thirds and octaves are the best anyone can do and would certainly make them a good pianist. Very well explained!👍👍😊
Yep totally aggree with you, the Hanon is really good source of exercises! There was a huge discussion on reddit about the Hanon recently.. and the community seems to be split between 'hate it 'or 'love it'.. 🙄
Great!. Thx
Great video! More of this, please! I have the Hanon - book for a long time, but never started working with it. This will change now 🎼🎹🎼👍
Ohh fantastic! Let me know how you getting on with it!
Great video. Thank you😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
This actually helped
Excellent.
Great 👍🏻
First impression "OMG love his AVOCADO 🥑socks!!!" ... Thanks for the great video Ugnius! I also love incorporating Hanons exercises in my own and my students practice!
Haha the avocado socks are my favourite too!
@@UgniusPianist labai malonu susipažinti Ugniau! Tik dabar supratau, jog esi lietuvis 🥳🇱🇹
@@EmilijaPlaysPiano haha :) Malonu susipažinti ir man! Gerai, kad prisistatei :) Ar Lietuvoj bazuojies?
Great video! I'd be interested in what steps you'd advise to build speed when practicing either pieces or exercises. I find I can learn the notes, but bringing some pieces to tempo is difficult as a beginner/intermediate player.
For younger students use: dozen a day book collection
Ok I see its Hannon etudes.
some should write them or show them in other keys beside C !!!! fyi CHOPIN taught the scale of C last but every one else seem to teach everything in C I believe because most people are teaching how to read music/ music theory and not HOW TO PLAY PIANO
You could be the one writing them in all other keys!
Tkq very much.
You’re welcome 😊
@@UgniusPianist ， 😊。
Hi Ugnius! Great video as always :) I've always been critical of the "raise the fingers" suggestion in the book too, but I like the repeating pattern of the excercises as opposed to, for instance, Gradus ad Parnassum excercises which are a pain to learn by heart. One question: wdyt about playing hanon exercises in different tonalities? I've been trying nns 1 and 2 in D major and they're really annoying to play like that, can hardly reach speed (I can do about 120 in the c major versions).
Hey Reiza, if you manage to do a 120 in the C major ones - you ROCK! As for the modulations: it is funny you mention that but i do exactly the same thing and my students do that too! (In fact one of my students gave me that idea, and i think it really works).
Amazing videos, you should do more!!!!! I understand it takes time, but man!
Also, can you do a video like this but focusing more in the octaves section? I know you have some videos of octaves legato, but I would like to know how to practice those Hanon octaves
Hey, thanks for your comment! I am actually working on the new 2 videos on Hanon Book 3 :) One of them will be released this week :)
What else is hard in the Hanon book 3 for you?
You are right ìt does take time, but it is not the video editing, or recording that takes time.. it is planning and thinking what i want to talk about as well as doing research on things (if needed).
P.s. you have some serious technique yourself, looked up you Keyboard Solos, they are great!
Thank you so much for your comment :) means a lot coming from a great pianist
Actually I don't have more problems with Hanon, my problem are generally octaves, Its not like it hurts when I play them, I feel I get tense faster and I cannot practice passages or octaves alone because I don't want to injure myself
My pinky in the left hand seems to have a mind of its own.
It always rises with sort of a sling shot or whip affect, especially when coming back down in the exercise.
I've watched your left Hand, but your pinky stays in line with your other fingers.
Maybe I should practice by leaving my pinky down on the key, then finishing the scale.
Your thoughts.
Hey! Yes the pinky I think should be closer to the keys :)
If it raises it kind of indicates tension, so you might want to check if you have tension while playing :) If no tension there - maybe you are alright!
What are your favorite ones? As a beginner, I loop through 1, 2 and 3 using 60,70 and 80bpm. I don't intend on doing them all sequentially, hence the question. I'm interested in the ones focused on 3rd and 4th fingers
Hey Adeilson Silva, my favourite one is in fact from the book 3, the very last one(no.60), which is sort of an etude really, focusing on tremolos and the stamina. The harmonies are nice and I remember I use to love playing it when I was a kid ! Do you have your favourite? :)
Hello sir, is it fine is my fingers are too high for hanon exercise 44? ( The repetition) thanks
Do you have any videos or can you recommend any to learn the hand/arm motions you describe? I never learned them in my formal training and I have a feeling I could learn them very wrong if I just try to wing it.
Hi, good one, though I don't have videos... Can do an online lesson if you like, so I demonstrate it for you no probs!
This helped me a lot but I struggle with the circular motion on Hanon No.1 on my left hand.
Any tips? Thank you!😃
Pick up slow tempo and practice the L.H.with the metronome. Start by exaggerating the circular motion in slow tempo. The faster you get the smaller the motion :)
Hope that helps!
@@UgniusPianist Thank you for the reply!❤️
Lang Lang advices to lift the fingers higher to increase strength and power.
Yes that is true :) But in this video I refer to 'tempo' (speed). Keeping fingers down is gonna help you increase the tempo :)
@@UgniusPianist you are absolutely right. Sorry the confusion .
Not at all! What are you working on at the moment in the Hanon book? Or have you finished it now?
@@UgniusPianist I basically finished when I was younger ( I am 30 ) . Did not focus so much on the third scales besides the chromatic third but other than that I thing O had finished . Right now I am working on several pieces such as ballade n 2, some Chopin’s Etudes ( three so far : Revolutionary, Ocean and Octaves ) , and also I am studying Rach 3 . On top of that I still want to resume my studies on ballade n 4 ( my favorite ) and Nocturne in c minor also my favorite. Currently I do some scales but not every day . You play very well sir :)
I do that on accident and it is causing me problems with injuries.
In the book, it mentions lifting your finger up high, I always get confused
Makes sense, so if you are only working on getting the fingers work - lifting up may help, but if you want speed - keep your fingers down
Can one build up technique with repertoire only?
What a great question! Would you use Hanon for Organ Practice? Imagine playing that with foot pedal 🤣
@@UgniusPianist Yes, there are organ edition of Hanon too with pedals. Some people like it.
By the way, our recital premiere is 6 pm tonight. From Ausra's channel. Welcome in the Live Chat,
@@SecretsofOrganPlaying will definitely join! (4pm UK time, so I will tune in) :) say hi to Ausra!
@@SecretsofOrganPlaying are they any good? Were they originally written by Hanon himself?
How helpful is this for rachmaninoff? Specifically his super fast chord progressions?
I guess if you are looking for some tips on fast chord progressions watch this video on advanced piano technique with examples from Liszt, Chopin, Brahms and so on. This will definitely answer you questions! th-cam.com/video/5xzwaBf4jAc/w-d-xo.html
I read one day that rachmaninoff before a concert he practiced 1 or 2 Hanon Excercises in all keys and an Etude from Czerny Art of Finger dexterity
I have an issue with "dangling thumb"...
Hi! Not quite sure what you mean.. could you describe in more detail?😊
Hi which Chopin piece are u playing?
Which minute of thr video are you talking about?
