Hanon is just one of many tools to help move finger technique along. Many teachers dislike Hanon, that it is all technique and no musicality but that is exactly the point. It pinpoints various technical finger movements and forces the player to repeat them without worry of interpretation, dynamics, or tempo changes getting in the way.

My teacher studied with Rosina Llhevine, Nadia Boulanger and others and taught me at Juilliard. One of the best technique books he exposed me to was Isidor Philipp "exercises for independence of the fingers" volume 1. The exercises are all based around the 7 chord you demonstrated. I still use an assortment of the exercises from that book on a daily basis as a warm up

One advantage of Hanon that is rarely mentioned is that the first section on white note 5 finger patterns trains the brain to recognize patterns and communicate them to the fingers.

I did 5 years of Hanon, about 1/3 of my practice during that time, it never bored me, I now do Czerny, Bach, Mozart, more challenging and still occasionally do Hanon

Very very inspiring ! Many thanks !

Thank you, it's exactly what I was looking for !

Again a very informative and nice video. I will surely try them out.

This is amazing melodies for piano progressions

Appreciate how articulate this is.

Really great video

I gonna follow this video for exercises

Excellent.

Very helpful indeed. I think the excitement of working on a real piece can be more motivating than exercises, though I have done the latter for decades and find them very helpful. I find the combination of exercise and repertoire adaptation here very attractive. It struck me that the more fruitful exercises suggested in the first half of the video are very close to things in Dohnani, whom I have used a lot. I thought the idea of the usefulness of scales without overdoing them very helpful too.

You play the piano very well

This is great topics for piano students

Great video ! I consider that you really know what you are talking about ! I am 50 years old and i've been playing the piano for most of my life professionally ,but now i don't really have enough time because i'm working on another area that has nothing to do with music but i definetily agree with your philosophy !

Merci for this.

I think the best way is to have as varied selection of music as possible from all periods.

Correction -In my post I meant to say I have used Hanon for 61 years.
