HajjMusic yes! This actually very important but so normal to me that I forgot to mention it in the video... it is all about doing the same movements again and again using different keys but the same fingering. Even though you will not use this fingering for music pieces it is a very good exercise because you will feel which position your hands and fingers like more and which positions are a little bit tricky.

@@tomt3956 I agree - the KEY word being *slowly* - meaning (for me) MM = 40 - 80 for *eighth* notes (20 - 40 for 1/4 notes) AND for no more than 5 minutes at a time AND playing without tension AND stopping immediately and resting if there's any tension (i.e. do not practice tension, do not learn tension) . Adding Taubman's rotation may be helpful. For developing facility at MM 40+ for quarter notes, lifting the fingers should be abandoned altogether and a close (musical) touch should be cultivated - completely devoid of tension in the upper muscles (extensors) of the forearm. None of this high-finger machine-gun-like slamming of the keys through the bottom of the keybed at MM = 160 - it sounds and looks like crap! There are other ways to develop strength and independence - such as holding all 5 keys down and playing patterns of single and double notes - for about 2 minutes max (why spend 5 minutes - much less hours developing something that can be done in 2 minutes - right?)

Finally a video that actually explains *how* it's best to use Hanon exercises. Perfect! Play every key, don't play too fast, use different rhythms, different phrasing and always ensure hands are relaxed. While you're still mastering the exercises, pay special attention that each note is clear and even sounding. The only thing I can add is that I also use it to exercise polyrhythms (lh 3-5, rh 4-4, so you get 3 over 4 and 5 over 4 within the 8 notes, and other such variants).

In the end I want to play with a relaxed hand and relaxed fingers. Stretching the hands always means tension in the hands to me and this is why I don’t do this. But again- this is just my point of view, if you feel good with it and it helps you to warm up and get ready this is totally ok!😊 maybe I am also just thinking of too extreme stretching exercises- if you have one that you can recommend I will be happy if you tell me so I can try it! 😊

@@heartofthekeys What I learned during my time doing martial arts (and also as @Agustin Barrios stated correctly) stretching should always come last. Not after warm-up, but after the entire practice session. Think of your muscles after practice as if they were a woolen sweater after a ride in the washing machine on a slightly too warm program. It's all crumbled, stiff and in the worst case even more felt than knit. In order to "unfelt" your muscles you stretch them, just like you should always pull your sweater into shape and let them dry while lying flat. And then you wait, i.e. no overusing your muscles. Stretching makes your muscles go into relax mode. Using them overexcessively after a stretching session can be just as harmful as not warming up. I'm no specialists though and in music (I played the violin) I never got to a point where I had to worry about damaging my muscles because I didn't warm up before practicing 🙈😅. But from what I know from sports you should give stretching after practice a try. Would be interesting to see, whether you feel a positive impact. If not overdone, it at least shouldn't have a negative one.

I always wonder why no one talks about the fact that in a lot of the Hanon exercises the descending part is not exactly copied mirror-inverted in relation to the ascending part. It starts already with exercise no. 2: the second note of the descending part should be an 'e' instead of a 'd', otherwise you don't have the same hand pattern for both hands.

Annique - thank HEAVENS you're using a close touch technic and NOT LIFTING your fingers! I wish that you would point this out and emphasize it to your viewers. Playing Hanon with lifting the fingers is very bad technic and can cause injuries. I also use and recommend a limited amount of Hanon similar to what you are using (the first 20 are enough) and am glad to see that your are playing sensibly with a good technic and at moderate speeds for warm-ups as opposed to playing too fast and causing tension and injuries! I very much enjoyed the variety of rhythms, articulations, and combinations - some of which I look forward to trying. For additional variety, I also play them in 10ths and 6ths, which seems to add a bit of fluidity since the hands are on different notes. They're also more "musical" that way - almost sound pretty! :-) Sometimes I like to combine 2 different patterns in alternating measures. For example, Hanon #1 and Hanon #5 - play one measure of #1, step up to the next note and play one measure of #5, step up to the next note and play one measure of #1, etc. I have not tried many other combinations at this point - For just a bit more of a workout try playing them in the harmonic minor keys - this gives a little extra stretch and micro-movement warm-up with some of the intervals created between the lowered 6th and raised 7th of the harmonic scale. Playing these in 10ths and 6ths can become quite an adventure - for example F-sharp harmonic minor in 10ths or 6ths - !
