staccato, legato, etc. Will it be alright to do some exercises of Hanon if I keep it that way?
I know this topic is already discussed too much, but I feel like I like Hanon's exercises. I need a little advice on this because I am a little worried; I spend 30 - 45 minutes on Hanon and scales, but does Hanon's exercises do more harm than good? I still play it musically though, being aware of staccato, legato, etc. Will it be alright to do some exercises of Hanon if I keep it that way?
This obsession with Hanon is truly bizarre. As if it were the key to piano-playing.
When I struggle with a specific finger pattern in my practice piece, I'd try to figure out the problem and ask my teacher to recommend a specific Hanon exercise to target my weakness.
Hanon is just a pattern over scales, isn't it? And just a finger pattern.
No.The pedagogy behind Hanon (if you read all of the text before you get to the "music") is very outdated and damaging.
I ordered a copy of Hanon's exercises in the belief that they should provide me some well-needed training for my fingers, but I "stopped" the very moment I read the introductory text.
Astounding the amount of people who say it has helped them then.Are they all suffering delusions??Thal
