Hanon't: Technically Speaking, Exercises for People Who Think They Should Practice More (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9787853150939)

For over a century, Charles-Louis Hanon's The Virtuoso Pianist has been the go-to companion for developing strong, nimble fingers and terrifying sight-reading guilt. We honor his legacy-truly, we do. But let's be honest: wouldn't it be nice if the black keys showed up before exercise 39? Or if fingerings didn't suddenly shift just when you were getting comfortable?

Hanon't: Technically Speaking is a playful tribute to the legendary TVP, designed for pianists who believe in practicing smartly (and sometimes reluctantly). These exercises fill in some of Hanon's charming gaps-introducing black-key logic early, keeping fingerings consistent, and embracing the musical quirks that real-world repertoire throws our way. Whether you're a seasoned teacher or a self-starting student with a strong coffee habit, this book will stretch your fingers and your funny bone.

Serious about technique, but not too serious about itself-because practice should be rewarding, not punishing.
