Hanon - The Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises - Book 1 | Piano Technique Book | Essential Finger Exercises for Strength and Agility | Schirmer Library ... Volume 1071 (Schirmer's Library, Volume 1071) Paperback – November 1, 1986

Smaller than my original but has just enough exercises to stay in shape.

Good piano finger exercises and training. These were highly recommended by my piano teacher.

As part of the piano lessons, our piano teacher asked us to purchase this and my daughter really loves it. The print is clear and easy to read.

Traditional scale training for piano. This book has been used for centuries. Great workouts for dexterity, accuracy and speed. All exercises are written in C major. Exercises can be modified, on the fly, to focus rhe exercises on rhythm, and other key signatures.

Has all the exercises and was very inexpensive!

If you don’t enjoy repetition of or things of that nature I wouldn’t get this book (I recommend any of Czerny’s many books). I like how to the point these are and that I can feel and hear a difference in my playing after practicing a couple of exercises from here. I’d use this in moderation if being used to teach students techniques because I can see why people could get bored of playing from here if that’s all they are practicing. Also because it doesn’t much nuance it may bore the type who enjoy more expressive pieces. Albeit these are just exercises.I would give it five stars but it arrived bent in the middle and I had to flatten it using some books.

If you are reading this review, it is most likely due to your piano teacher’s guidance to begin learning the Hannon exercises. If so, your teacher has given you a great a gift! The exercises are a timeless, masterful enabler of brain to hands piano skills. I find the exercises fun, fascinating, and see immediate improvement in playing all my other songs after playing these exercises. This was true in 1955 when I began my piano studies and still true today as I resume these studies in my retirement years! Have fun!

a must have for anyone aspiring to learn piano
