Is there a piano book that is similar to Hanon that is useful for beginner piano players?
Posted by admin
I am interested in this book specifically, Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises – Complete: Piano Technique by C.L. Hanon. However, it's specifically for intermediate to advance players and I would be starting from scratch with no previous experience. Is there an elementary or fundamental version of this book for people with little to no experience? (one year or nothing) Any ideas?
Or just something really close to it by Hanon or someone else for newbies? Thanks!
Yes, there actually is a "baby Hanon" book, I think it's published by Alfred. But, honestly, you can do the real thing if you're an adult. All the Hanon exercises are just a one or two measure pattern repeated up and down the piano. An adult is willing to do this without cute pictures and stuff.
