Hanon for Students , Book 1, contains the first six exercises from The Virtuoso Pianist , Book 1. The exercises are notated in eighth notes for one octave so that students may begin to use them effectively at the late-elementary level. Each exercise appears five times to be played with a legato touch, varied articulation, varied dynamics, varied rhythm, and transposed to F or G. "This new series differs from others in that it encourages thoughtful and musical practicing." -Yiyi Ku, MusicTeachersHelper.com
