[kirkwitter15]

those chords sound beautiful

[MrRon58]

Thanks... you know where to go to learn how to do it!

[Rheostatik]

It pains me to hear good pianists play on digital pianos.

You, sir, need to get yourself an acoustic!

[MrRon58]

Why are you being so pedantic?

You need to review my other instructional videos... I was playing the acoustic grand piano when you were just a "sparkle" in your father's EYES!

[Rheostatik]

Sorry, my bad...hadn't looked at your other videos before I made that comment.

I just hate digital pianos...hate listening to them, hate playing them. Comment was meant in good humour, though, you're a fine player!

[lucadepu]

@MrRon58 mre like hsi father's broken condom ...er i didn't mean to say that. what do you think would be a good practice time for someone who is picking up piano in his 20's after he quit at 13 ( i started playing at 6 but i enroled in a conservatory online at 10 and sorta went on for 3 years)

[brain1012]

Any beginner's that wish to start with this exercise: Do NOT keep playing if any part of your arm starts to feel sore when playing. Pain does not equal gain in the case of piano playing, and so be careful.

Also, for every Hanon exercise recommends that you start at 60 BPM, and work your way up to 108 BPM. Not that you have to follow this pattern exactly; you can extend or lower the metronome marking as much as possible.

Most importantly, as Mr. Ron mentioned, take your time! And be free!

[maraja21]

you do miss technick in your hand as I miss english spelling

[MrRon58]

You're obviously developmentally delayed!

[Alejandro270193]

wak

[MrRon58]

You're obviously cognitive impaired!

[Alejandro270193]

lol

[SKyESTaRR23]

Do the Hannon Exercise in the KEY of C#  or F#

[MrRon58]

No... you do it!

All you have to do USE he same fingering, BUT you MUST learn the Db and Gb Major scales on your own!

Ron

[SKyESTaRR23]

Hey Captain RON, R you always a DICK to people??? Sry if that came across as rude... BTW if you were a HANON expert you would KNOW that you use different fingering for the Db AND Gb scale ....

[kmish213]

If you can't even transpose simple 5 finger patterns to different keys, you have no business trying the hanon exercises

besides, hanon wrote most, or maybe all of the exercises in C, it's finger exercises not melody or anything.

[Lennythewinner]

Practicing black-note scales with either their standard fingerings or with C major fingering are good exercises :-)

Similarly with other exercises and pieces written in black-note keys :-)

[JenovaX13]

i jsut watched this video. and i hope it helps. cuz.. i have been trying to play JENOVA which u have to move ur fingers like a speed demon

[CBasie2856]

I can only play scales in my left hand at 110 bpm, which is very poor :(

I need to get them up to 200 bpm.

So, the past few days, I have been trying to practice repetitive scales with my left hand in all major keys. Luckily it has helped my thumb under technique and I do less slipping off the white keys(just a little). I have also tried doing runs using combinations with just my 3 4 5 fingers, or just my 2 3 4 fingers, or 1 2 3 fingers. I have been doing runs that my right hand can do.

[MrRon58]

That's good CBasie2856...

Don't forget to practice your arpeggios...

That should help in "stretching" your fingers.

Ron

[CBasie2856]

When ever I descend the piano in my left hand, my 3rd and 4th fingers sometimes rub against each other, 3 4 5 fingers are so curved that they play on the nails, and my thumb tenses up and contracts(squeezes) toward my index finger. Sometimes my fingers even slip off the white keys! I know this is really bad technique, but I have been trying to improve it for quite some time. When you first started playing piano, were your 3rd and 4th fingers rubbing against each other?

[EinSofVirtuoso]

I just bought a couple of piano books, Hanon's 60 and Czerny's Finger Dexterity. All in all, I wish to play Grieg's Piano Concerto. How many years would it take to aquire the techniques. So far, I have mastered Hanon's 1-4 and begun working on Czerny's exercise 1 opus 740.

[MrRon58]

Hi EinSofVirtuoso...

Your progress will always be dependent upon the regularity and consistency of your practice time.

For an example, if you were a "piano" major in College. The minimum amount of time suggested by piano professors is 4 hours a day... 7 days a week!

So, it would be unintelligent for me to predict how long it would take for you to master ANYTHING!

But just remember, anyone (that can read the grand staff) can play any song at sight, if they play it SLOW enough!

[dcolwell]

Is this a trick question? I would say you are using the wrong set of books to start with. If you still need the Hanon exercises, the Czerny op. 740 is WAY TOO ADVANCED for you.

[EinSofVirtuoso]

Its not now. Its been three months. I needed Hanon mainly to even my speed and syncopation. I'm self-taught mainly, with the exception of these methods. Yet I mainly play the works of Glass, some Rzewski, and Messiaen.

[SSOzzy]

just buy the hanon book! and follow directions. fingers high and with precision. make sure fingers are curved

[wilfred0203123]

UHhhmmmm...hello there...I want to have some excercises that will strengthen my ring finger(4th finger)...can you recommend something???

[anton1026]

mrRon58 thank you so much!

[mjakobite]

Thanks for the lesson. Nice bling-bling watch you have :)

[Solar2]

Your version of Mary had a little lamb was beautiful. :D

[MrRon58]

Thanks D... If you want to learn more, just "google": Articles by Ron Worthy.

Ron

[fotogramma80it]

YOU ARE THE BEST!!! THX SOO MUCH! from a DUMMY PIANO PLAYER!

[MrRon58]

Your welcome...

MrRonsMusic

[HarkMagnus]

I love you! great videos!

[DymeStar88]

i love that jazzy feel to "mary had a little lamb".

[MrRon58]

Thanks Ron... You should "google" my name (Ron Worthy) and check out my sites!

Ron

[hellmuth26]

I just googled it, and the first site that came up was: "Ron Worthy piano scam? Does Mr. Ron's Music - Play Piano Like a PRO Really Work? Read My Independent Review!"

That "independent review" went on to praise all the piano courses, and listed buying info and links for everything.. Looked more like an ad than an independent review. And they cost like $100, $200, even $300 dollars. This kind of stuff should be free. He's a salesman first, musician second.

[hellmuth26]

I just wanna come back and apologize for my negative tone. After watching some more of Ron's videos here on YT, I've taken a lot of his tips and use them in my practicing, and it's REALLY helping a lot.

I do think the videos he sells are still a little bit pricey, but they might be worth it because as he said, he talks about stuff that NO ONE else talks about, and it's really valuble information. So thanks Ron.

[Greatcommission]

Thank you for the exercise. I look forward to more of your videos.
