I took lessons growing up as a child and recently took a year worth of college lessons but since than Ive been self-taught. I havent gotten too far into the book but already I have identified the problems in my own playing such as the lack of versatility in my left hand and struggles with proper fingering in both hands. This book is wonderful for identifying where the student needs work on as well as helping them fix it by requiring both hands and all ten fingers to participate equally in the exercises.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great BookBy John NguyenI believe that this Hanon book should be recommended to everyone who want to play the piano. This book allowed me to prepare and warm up my fingers before each piano session; therefore; allowing me to learn quicker through the recognition of patterns presented in the book. Not only that; but my fingers are getting stronger and my sight reading is getting much better.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. and I was very pleased to own the digital edition instead of lugging around ...By KD-DI bought this for teaching; and I was very pleased to own the digital edition instead of lugging around print books to lessons.
