What piano exercises should you do? Why do Piano exercises? What benefit will they have?
Whatever your thoughts on exercises for strengthening your fingers or warming up, they are important.
I generally enjoy playing them if there’s a musical element to them. As you further your playing you will come across Hanon exercises and the various opinions on them. I play one or two of the exercises myself as a warmup, but I don’t think I would study them in detail.
Some course I have reviewed, such as “Shawn Cheek’s Webpianoteacher“and “Learn and Master” express their importance.
I came across the following video on Youtube, which I enjoyed. Five exercises with varying difficulty, but anyone can play them. Start slowly and build up the required speed. The essence is building up strength.
The pieces are musical – one is even a boogie-woogie exercise.
I’ll post more exercise videos in future posts.
Enjoy and Happy New Year.
