Rhythmic Variations
Series Two - Page One
Rhythmic Variations Series Two is written in four-four (common) time, for ease of counting. While the original Hanon exercises are written in two-four, this needn't cause any confusion, as the rhythm and speed can be exactly the same.
The AA-LL rhythmic templates are all demonstrated on Hanon Exercise 1. The Tapping Drills are included in the Pattern Build-up videos.
Download the music for the AA Rhythmic Variations Series here.
Here is an introductory video covering the unison AA, BB and CC patterns build-up.

Exercise HCV-AA

The AA series starts with unison combination of quavers, dotted quavers and semiquavers (eighth, sixteenth and thirty-second notes). Listen to the performance video while studying the beat map before attempting a performance. More help with the build-up of syncopation in the covering video above. |

Exercise HCV-BB

Still a unison pattern, but the dotted-quaver/semiquaver pair is in a different place. Watch the covering video above for a run-down on the first three patterns. |
