Piano lesson: Hanon excersises for finger strength and wrist movements - Hanna Silver

This is a short video where I talk about my favourite piano exercises. If you want to maintain and improve your finger strength, it is important to practise every day, or at least 5 days per week. Just like when you stop going to the gym, if you stop doing these exercises, you will lose your muscle strength. When I lose my muscle strength, it takes me 2 weeks of practising every day to get back to being strong and agile. I also am sure to do stretches in between every few exercises, just as I feel I need.
If you have any queries or anything to add, please don't hesitate to leave a comment.

My background: I studied at Victorian College of the Arts, classical piano 2002-04, achieved A.Mus.A with distinction in 2000 and L.Mus.A in 2003. Currently I am a Suzuki teacher in Melbourne, Australia and was a Suzuki kid myself. I also am a performer, as can be seen in my other videos. Currently I am doing some home recording, working on an album.

I usually don't post comments like this, but you are absolutely stunning. Fantastic playing as well.

Great video! Thanks! This is the only Hanon related video I've seen so far that explains the wrist circles thing.

@jeranbrown1 Hey I made a video that just talks about wrist technique! If you go to my channel you'll find it, has an obvious title about piano wrists.

The Hanon studies in my opinion are more valuable than than the Czerny exercises. Very well played. Thank you for posting!
