Hanon - the virtuoso pianist.

Anyone else use this in their practice ?

I bought my copy years ago for maybe £3.

It's a really great little book. The exercises as the name suggests, are designed for piano, but they're brilliant for warming up. They're mostly based around intervals, 3rd, 4th etc. So it's great practice for string skipping and stuff like that.

Use a metronome and start slowly, gradually building up the tempo.

For piano, yes - it's a classic technical work - but never thought of it in relation to bass before - might give it a go!

It's excellent.

I heard about it from Janek Gwizdala at one of his masterclasses, he uses it most days.

There is a specific bass version of the Hanon exercises too :-)
