I have to say that since watching your videos piano has taken on anew look to me and I actually look forward to practice--thank you for all the wonderful videos and the work you put into them!

    I bought Hanon this past summer on the advice of this video. I was frustrated with weakness in fingers 4 and 5 and general clumsiness. I’m not far in but already the first half dozen exercises, which I use to warm up, have had a significant impact on my technique, especially accuracy, with which I’m most concerned at my level. I’m grateful for Jazer introducing this invaluable resource. Thanks!

    I found your tutorial by chance. I started piano lessons 2 years ago and frustrated by the slow process. A full time job and life often gets in the way of practising piano. I loved your advise on finger independence and how to practice. Will give it a go. Your explanations are logical and good to understand. Never thought about that the brain needs time to process and loves repetitions. Thanks for that 😊

    Thank you! I taught myself a few songs as a kid, but am now trying to properly learn as an adult. I bought an adult beginners book and was doing pretty well until it came to playing the C chord with my left hand. I started googling to figure out why it was so hard for me, and found out i have weak finger indepedence between my 4th and 5th LH fingers. Hoping this exercise helps so I can make my way through my book

    The control and strength you have in each of those fingers accurately hitting the keys and all at the same intensity is awe-inspiring! I'm still trying to stop my fingers from flailing and the wet fish grip-strength of my ring and pinky finger is embarrassing compared to yours- it really motivates me push harder haha! Hopefully this time next year I'll be somewhat comparable at least in the control of my hands :)

    Many thanks! I'm 58, never played any instrument before, and wanted to start to play piano now. As I am trying to teach myself by watching different videos, I believe that this video is absolutely the best way to start. For a beginner, the most important thing is to be able to move and control all the fingers, otherwise, it is just impossible to play piano. This was hard to start with, but I feel now that I have my hands and fingers under much more control now. So I will keep practicing!

    Hi Jazer! I have been visiting this channel since, like, a couple of months by now. But I had no instrument for practice. Until now. A digital one had arrived, and one of the first things that i'd tried was exactly this one. Maybe because deep thoughts since last episodes, the simple run up, both hands were smooth, just hadn't payed attention to the turn to run down, and the run down where not to easy, with both hands. Have to say that I'm a level 000, which means, I have never had the experience to play before. On the other hand, your lessons and considerations have been, and will be part of my contruction as a piano player. Thank you for been so devoted to this art.

    OMG, this is the very exercise that I have been doing for the past few weeks, only not going up the 2 octaves. You make it look so easy. I have a degenerative neurological disease and I am losing the fine motor skills in my hands. I am trying to learn to play the piano partly because I love it so much, but also as a way to keep what's left of my fingers alive. It's a huge struggle, but amazingly, I am improving. The problem I have with this exercise is that the 4th finger on my right hand has almost no independent movement. Any finger exercises that you are aware of? BTW, I have subscribed to your channel. You seem like a terrific teacher.

    I wish I would have seen this particular video of yours about 2 weeks ago. I started to work on Hanon One then but I have been so self conscience about my fingers not resting on the keys while one was playing ( I hope that I am saying that right) that I started to get myself depressed. But while watching this video I can see that your fingers are not all resting on the keys while one is playing. Maybe now I can relax about that and concentrate more on the actual exercise. I will go slow at first and very gradually build up speed while keeping accuracy a priority. Thank you for this video.

    I just got my new piano yesterday. I've never played keyboard before, but have always wanted to. I have to say, watching Mr. Lee play this exercise was amazing! I was a helicopter pilot in the military and fully understand how the brain has to adapt to each hand and each foot accomplishing tasks that vary from each other, and to do them at the same time, but OMGosh! Watching Mr. Lee do this "simple" exercise made me wonder if those were really his hands playing, or if they were independent animals stuck to the end of his arms playing their piece apart from each other. Wow! I can't wait to get started!

    Thank you for this video. I hope No. 1 helps me, because I'm often struggeling when a note is played by, say the middle finger, and two notes later the same note is played by, say the thumb. That's part of what this exercise adresses. Addendum: I just found an exercise which helps even more for this problem: No. 45 By the way, I'm always starting with the weaker hand (which is the left hand for most people), because when I'm getting interrupted, I've already done a little bit more for my weak hand. I relatively soon start with hands together in order to stay focused.
