I have been playing the piano for roughly 46 years. I was basically self taught, with my 8th grade music teacher showing me where Middle C was on the piano and where on the Grand Staff it was notated and I took it from there. I found that the Hanon Exercises were indispensable in acquiring strength, dexterity, and perfect evenness of the fingers. (Well, as close to "perfect" as I could get anyway!) Also, the Etude in A-flat Opus 25, No. 1 (also known as the "Aeolian Harp") by Chopin, was an excellent piece for increasing the reach of small hands, in which I was blessed.

after reading these comments, being a 51yr old procrastination expert myself, I have decided to take up a long time desire in me and become a student of guitar. I know this is about piano but the passion is the same! Thank you all !

FreezingAcolyte89399, 5 fingered excersizes means something else in Europe. Stealing is called a five fingered discount

FreezingAcolyte89399, I've always wanted to learn piano but at 62 never got around to it. I've just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in every joint on every finger and in both wrists. Now I've got a reason not to procrastinate any longer, who knows, playing the piano could help keep flexibility in my fingers.

I fondly remember my 5 finger exercises given by Mrs Gesna Scott! Boy oh boy was she a taskmaster. She would WHACK my fingers so hard then tell me I better not tell! I DID! MY DAD WENT TO THE CLASS QND MADE MRS SCOTT HOLD OUT HER HAND. MY FATHER THEN TOOK OUT A RULER AND WHACKED HER HAND! I WAS SUSPENDED FOR A WEEK!

My husband plays the organ and has been after me to learn for more than 10 years. Procrastination. Finally started to take lessons and can't seem to get my right hand, left hand, and eyes to all work together in addition to having trouble hearing the beat. so sad.

I start all my students with a very basic 5 finger exercise which helps them to get a feel for the keys, and a concept of notes in a speed that works for them. S as they improve I increase the speed.
