Is Piano Technique Ruining Musicality? (Hanon, Czerny & the Truth)

Is piano technique helping or hurting musicality? In this episode of Composed Out, we dive into one of the most controversial topics in classical music: technical exercises. From Hanon and Czerny to method books and etudes, we unpack how pianists are trained—and whether technique has become separated from artistry. We discuss: -Whether exercises like Hanon are useful or stifling -How technique should be taught to children vs adults -The difference between mechanical skill and musical expression -Why some “boring” exercises actually work -When technique becomes artistry (double thirds, octaves, virtuosity) If you’ve ever wondered whether piano technique is misunderstood—or misused—this conversation is for you. 👇 Join the discussion in the comments (politely—we know this topic gets spicy).
