2 Dexterity Exercises to get FASTER at Playing Piano

"What dexterity exercises should I practice to get faster at piano?" asks @brenden.k.bianchi 

Exercise 1

The Hanon exercises are great for piano finger dexterity and warm up. 

Before every practice session, I would play 1 Hanon exercise at least once. I would work on 1 different Hanon exercise every week, but if I did not master fluency of that Hanon exercise, I'd do it again for another week. 

Hanon No. 1 all the way to Hanon No. 31 are essential minimums. These Hanon exercises train your fingers, especially fingers 3 and 4 - the weaker of the 5 fingers on each hand.

To target the 3rd and 4th fingers, we make them work harder in Hanon No. 2 and 3. 


Exercise 2

This is about scales, chords, and arpeggios. 

This is called Piano Technique - we do this every day for at least 10 years to achieve mastery.

For beginners, you can start by playing the 5 finger scale C-D-E-F-G until you can play this evenly.

Beyond this, for scales, you can start with C major, G major, D major, A major, and E major. 

These are the first 5 keys in the Circle of 5ths - no sharp, 1 sharp,  2 sharps, 3 sharps, and 4 sharps.

Once comfortable with the fingering for these 5 major keys, you may continue to learn all 12 major keys. 

Meanwhile, there are 12 minor keys that correspond to each key signature as well.

If you become proficient in all keys, you will learn new pieces with ease.
