xx 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

xx 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?

question 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.

xx 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?

xx 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.)

xx 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

xx Hanon: even my preschooler knows
July 17, 2005, 05:51:22 PM by yamagal

to stay far away from it. 

I had ordered a Hanon book just before seeing the recent threads bashing it.  Well, I thought, I'll use it anyway - I practiced with it 24 yrs ago, after all. 

So anyway, yesterday, I was warming up for a few minutes.  My 3 y o son happily settled into the armchair beside the piano to hear the nice music.  He liked the scales, chords and arpeggios.  He was leaning with his ear near the side of the piano, to catch the notes, I guess.  Then I start in with the Hanon.  I am already getting to where I can play it smoothly and quickly and precisely, so it's not like I'm playing it "wrong".  Well, what does my little one do but lose the smile and quickly slide off the chair and scurry away!  LOL! 

I did the Hanon for a few more minutes, then it was into the repertoire and my son reappeared, smiling again.   Wink

What customers said about pianostreet.com:

"All of my students are members of Pianostreet and many of my teacher colleagues have joined as well.
It is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike and there is very rarely any need to visit another website or music store in search of sheet music."

Andrea Boltresz, piano teacher
Robertson, Australia

"As a frequent user of pianostreet.com I find it easy to navigate, great value for money and very professional. The pieces are all well-graded and the audio is really useful, especially for pieces not heard before. I have recommended the site to many of my friends who play the piano. Keep up the good work."

Paul, Llansannan, UK.

"Wonderful service! [...] I have no reservation in recommending it as a “must” to all pianists, both teachers and students, amateur and professional."

Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist
Australia

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

Robert York, pianist
Long Beach, California

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
