piano exercieses

rhapsody

Someone told me ages ago about a set of excercises (the name starts with D) that will help with dexterity but after googling I can't figure out what they were. I'm working on some Hanon, and usual scales etc but this was a small thing that seemed great at the time but now I've forgotten it

Does anyone know the ones I'm talking about? Thanks

Havent heard of it but I'll ask my piano teacher. She hasnt mentioned them to me though and she's not a "classical" piano teacher, she's just a very good session pianist who happens to have a good teaching approach (imho)

hey, thanks so much for your reply. I actually found out yesterday- Dohnanyi exercises. I got hold of a few & they are a b*tch! but helpful, i would recommend, in small doses!!

Great, thanks for the info. I am going to video the scales exercises my teacher made me do (and which I can still do backwards... literally!).

Lets us know how you get on as there are a few of us struggling with this wretched torture machine
