Hanon Exercise No. 6
About this arrangement
Hanon marks the fifth finger. His note on this page: to get the promised results, play the exercises you have already learned at least once every day.
The fifth finger comes back to the same key four times in a bar. Keep it curved and let it strike from the knuckle, not from the wrist. Use a metronome, lift each finger and play every note clearly, and keep both hands exactly together.
Start with short loops.
Use the section list as a practice map. Start at 50% tempo, loop one section, then return to the full piece once the hand shape feels stable.
Choose Right or Left to focus on one hand. Wait for note checks the highlighted notes as you play them on the screen or a connected MIDI keyboard.

Before you practice.
01 What does Hanon No. 6 train?
It works the fifth finger. Both hands play the same pattern an octave apart.
02 Should I practise hands separately?
Start with each hand alone for a few minutes, then play both together. Hanon wrote the hands an octave apart so the left hand gets the same work as the right.
03 How long is Hanon No. 6?
Our edition has 29 bars: 14 going up, then the same figure coming down. The whole exercise repeats once.
