Re: Czerny - Where to Start

Which is better Hanon vs Czerny?

Czerny is more 'musical' than Hanon, so maybe more enjoyable. Hanon is much simpler, and much easier. The thing about scales is that they are good, but they are one type of pattern only: the etudes/exercises are much more varied (and Hanon includes scales and arpeggios). Schmidt is also good.

How many Czerny exercises are there?

40 exercises for developing speed in playing scales, arpeggios, and other techniques. 50 exercises for practicing legato and staccato in many different musical contexts. A collection of short studies covering many aspects of piano technique.
