piano exercises
Finger training routines
Piano exercises are structured practice routines designed to develop technique at the keyboard—finger strength, agility, independence, and coordination.
Standard exercises include scales, arpeggios, and études by composers like Hanon or Czerny.
The term covers both specific published exercise books and any repetitive drills a pianist uses to build facility: She runs through her piano exercises before practicing repertoire.
