hi, can someone tell me what's the number of the exercise in the image? I bought the book, but I can't find it there, and my copy doesn't have that information... and is from a different edition.
thank you.

Hanon Help.
April 07, 2010, 06:57:58 PM by fortissimo4

I don't know if I'm doing the Hanon Exercise correctly, well, I know I am doing it correctly what I mean to say is, my 5th finger is always so high up, and I do not want to develop bad habits. For bad habbits will be hard to correct later on, to give you a mental visual of what my 5th finger looks like while I'm doing the Hanon. For example imagine a male drinking tea "Pinky's out"... Is how my 5th finger is all the time. If this is wrong, please do tell me what I can do to condition myself to STOP doing that.

Thank You.

pro-hanon vs anti-hanon
December 18, 2008, 02:02:07 AM by ptyrrell

I'm am sure this topic has been discussed before but I wanted to throw it out there of who is pro-hanon and who is anti-hanon and why?

Personally I discarded hanon for a couple of years, where before I was playing hanon exercises as warm-ups. I am not sure why but I have gone back to them but I have started going through the exercises slowly, HS as part of my practice routine. I know they don't have a great deal of musical value, I believe if approached in the right way can build endurance and finger strength.

Cheers

Hanon and frustration
May 27, 2008, 05:08:34 AM by 8426

concerning hanon, am i supposed to only practice it slow? or should i play it at tempo? also, i get super mad and frustrated at myself...i can't get the dexterity required in the sonata of mozar k 545 in the first movement...and then when i see people younger than i am playing it better it all goes down....i hate myself...i practice from four to six hours a day and still...i just don't seem to be advancing. also i'm learning violin. does violin impede piano? can someone give me some advice? how should i practice piano? scales, hanon, czerny, in what order? should i concentrate on one piece each day?

Hanon and Czerny useless?
April 26, 2008, 08:13:24 AM by keyb0ardfweak

I just got to read on the internet that this exercises are good to develop the strenght of the fingers, which is good for beginner pianists and or amateur ones, cuz normally the strenght is greater in the thumb and in the index finger.

However, it said that this exercises are useless because each individual finger has its own strenght limit, which cannot be changed, so it may also be a waste of time for some people.
In my case, I just stoped playing hanon exercises cuz I was realising that I was getting nothing from it, that's why now I'm currently workin hard on scales and arpeggios, besides the other pieces I'm learning.

so what's your opinion??I'm totally agree with what it said.

I'm thinking of taking up these exercises as I want to improve my technique, I just wanted to know if anyone here has tried them and whether they worked or not.

Getting Started
September 28, 2006, 09:10:15 PM by swim4ever_22

Ok. So I decided to pick up the piano after 10 years of never playing. This is what I've got to get me started:

Schumann's Album for the Young
Debussy's Children's Corner
Albert's Piano Favorites
Albert's Piano Classics
A bunch of sheet music by Chopin, Beethoven, Debussy, and Rachmaninoff from the sheet music archives.
Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist
Czerny: School of Velocity
Schmidt: Opus. 18

Now here's the question... where should I start? I know all my basic theory... such as rests, notes, their values, etc. I can read both clefs. I want to build up my repertoire and technique so that in a few years I'll be able to play some of the great works by Chopin, Liszt, and other composers. So where should I start?

Hanon
May 21, 2006, 12:04:28 PM by london_street

Hi,
I keep reading about 'Hanon' on this board - does anyone have a link to a resource? (pdf etc)

(I managed to find links on this board to Cortot and Dohnanyi resources so I am hopeful.)

Is Hannon still considered useful?
February 27, 2006, 01:46:45 AM by schiu

Hi, in my ripe old age I have decided to learn the piano. After a significant struggle, I found a good and dedicated instructor. I have been at it for about a year, practicing at least one hour a day.

Here is my question: I understand that Hannon used to be standard material for developing technique. My instructor believes that this is no longer the case and that the student's time is better used when technique is developed at the same time as interpretation. In fact, he thinks that Hannon-type exercises may be detrimental by encouraging a "mechanical" approach to the piano.

I am curious to know how many of you think this way, and would like to hear you comments.

Thanks
