Easy Hanon

With the study of the piano so wide-spread and the number of quality pianists so numerous, a much higher standard of execution is expected. To perform a piano piece of a special degree of difficulty, it would normally take eight to ten years of practice. Few people are in a position to devote so many years to this study and consequently, their playing is uneven and incorrect. It is a known fact that one hand is always stronger and has more dexterity than the other which has an impact on the ability to execute certain difficult passages in keyboard literature. The solution to this problem is the work, “The Virtuoso Pianist, In 60 Exercises” - (OEP50). In this important Santorella Publication are found the exercises necessary to acquire the agility, independence, strength and absolute evenness of the fingers, and suppleness of the wrists which are prerequisites for fine execution. The sheer importance of Hanon’s work for every committed piano student is a sufficient reason to get started with these exercises as soon as any young student has shown a serious interest. We proudly boast that Santorella’s “Easy Hanon - Exercises for the Beginning Pianist”, transcribed and edited by Jonathon Robbins, is the preference of most piano teachers in the United States and used by countless beginners throughout the world. Pick up a copy today and get your young virtuoso on the right track to becoming an exceptional pianist.
