If there’s one exercise that I think is best for developing finger control, speed and dexterity it has to be Hanon.

These exercises are named after their creator, Charles-Louis Hanon and were published in 1873. There is criticism that the exercises are not “musical” enough, but I think there is still a lot of value in them.

The exercise we’ll be focusing on today is the very first one. It’s a simple pattern, but it’s one we can vary to help develop control, hand independence, rhythm, and dynamics.

Hanon - The Exercise - 0:35

Adjustment 1 - The Finger Lift - 2:09

Adjustment 2 - One Hand Staccato, The Other Legato - 3:02

Adjustment 3 - Rhythms - 3:35

Adjustment 4 - Dynamics - 3:58

Change as much or as little as you want. Mix and match and have fun.
