This section gets you started by:

• Outlining the usefulness of the Hanon exercises
• Demonstrating the first Hanon pattern
• Explaining how the exercises build your finger dexterity by moving up and down the keyboard

Then, the original 30 Hanon exercises are demonstrated for you, split up into six pages of five exercises each.

You will get familiar with these, one at a time, over a period of weeks, using them to warm up and train your fingers prior to practicing or creating at the keyboard.

As soon as you have a minimum of proficiency, you can go on to start exploring the ten sets of variations, that will keep these exercises relevant and challenging for the rest of your keyboard journey.
