Hi guys,
I wanted to let you know of a cool new piano learning device in Gizmag
Google “gizmag pianomaestro”
Hi Andrew,
would you use the same fingerings for other scales than the c, lets say A major, or even worse, F# major? Cause Hanon mentions somewhere to play in all scales.
thanks physikphilosoph
@033muil Yep, that’s why you don’t over do it ^_^ Hanon or anything else should always be practiced carefully.
Yes weights and then later I believe it was the rope pulley that actually was the final straw that caused permanent damage to his finger. He was sure not a dull character that’s for sure.
the great schumann went even further, he put little weights on his fingers every night and they would train his fingers while he was sleeping. He eventually got paralyzed.

You are good teacher–very good advice! Thank you so much. My fingers were hurt many year ago as my teacher asked me to play it fast but my fingers were painful to play. After many years, now, I come back to play again.

Great videos…. I really like the relaxed approach, too…. I (haven’t played in 27 years) use Hanon (pronounced Han”ong”… you know what I mean) also just to warm up the fingers a little. I go back to the 6 first ones occasionally even while practicing sompley to remember finger position. When I was a kid, I thought the stuff was somewhat boring, but I must say….. I love the minimalism of it…
I love your comment ‘this is like tendonitis in book-form if you don’t se it properly’. I have found this system a but mad. Chopin said that each finger has its own properties but this is best viewed as saying to strengthen the fingers not equalize them as that is imossible. The thumb is always going to be stronger than the little finger but you can make the kittle fimnger stronger and bring it up to a CERTAIN levek good enough to play fff rapidly? NOT to EQUALIZE all fingers? What dyou think?
K VIDEO TAN MALO PURO BLA BLA Y BLA
I recognized that yellow book immediately! I started learning Hanon exercises when I was 8
I’m SO enjoying your lessons, thanks for sharing your gift.
hehe i just realise that u have a SHIIIINY forehead….XD..no offense thou~
00:23 was funny
such a funny guy
i was just thinking about this from a biological perspective and have this to say in response to the pro-hanon method; not all fingers are equal in the sense that while the thumb, index and middle fingers have 1 neuron dedicated to the movement of each, the 4th and 5th fingers have 1 neuron between both of them. you can see this yourself in your hands and can demonstrate the difficulties attached to this by trying to use move the fingers independently (without moving one or the other).
Thanks for the great channel you’ve helped me so much. Keep up the great work.
how many more videos do u have??
LOL! that’s hilarious! yea, things liek that can be VERY frustrating. My advice is don’t try to go to quickly. Just go slow and learn one bar at a time.
I bought the guitar version of this book a while ago. It’s good, but some of the patterns are so damn retarded and complex that it makes you want to throw your guitar against the wall.
finto pianista
brahms(there are exercises he wrote) is better than hanon an d czern together… if u don know it it woul be useful to get it.
Thank You very much for best lesson, Dear Sir.
oh my gosh! im so afraid now. I need to calm down so I dont get tendonitis… -.-
thank you.
