{"product_id":"hanon-piano-keyboard-exercises-1-30","title":"Hanon Piano \/ Keyboard Exercises 1 - 30","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this short book you will find condensed and simplified versions of the Hanon piano finger exercises 1 - 30 as well as the major, harmonic minor and melodic minor scales in every key (two octaves).\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat is Hanon?\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ÔHanon Virtuoso PianistÕ is a collection of piano finger exercises designed to give equal strength, agility and flexibility to all five fingers of both hands. Written by Charles-Louis Hanon in the 1800s, these exercises without doubt have become one of the most widely used techniques by todayÕs pianists. In my opinion these are the best finger exercises available.\u003cbr\u003e\nOne really great thing about these exercises is that they are applicable to both absolute beginners and advanced players alike, particularly as the reading ability required is minimal. Whatever your ability, these exercises will help improve your technique and finger strength.\u003cbr\u003e\nSo why do I need this book?\u003cbr\u003e\nThe whole point is to make it easy to read and to reduce page turns - less is more! In the full version the first 30 exercises take up fifty pages whereas here there are three exercises per page for the first 20, then two per page for the next 10, reducing the fifty pages to just twelve. I initially produced this for my own use only but figured that others may like to take advantage of what IÕve done.\u003cbr\u003e\nDoes this mean that the print is just smaller?\u003cbr\u003e\nNo, not at all. If you are familiar with these exercises you will know that they are repeated patterns which ascend and descend for two octaves diatonically.\u003cbr\u003e\nTo condense and simplify them and consequently eliminate an enormous amount of page turns I have shown:\u003cbr\u003e\nthe all-important fingering on the first pattern (as per the original);\u003cbr\u003e\nthen the repeated second pattern;\u003cbr\u003e\nthen ÔchangeoverÕ patterns between ascending and descending - which are sometimes slightly different;\u003cbr\u003e\nthen finally the last pattern of each exercise which again is often very slightly different.\u003cbr\u003e\nAll of the exercises can be heard if required in the pdf version (a free link is given at the end of the book).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44223128961185,"sku":"9781326170516","price":28.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/pmk4qq-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1718410313","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/hanon-piano-keyboard-exercises-1-30","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
