Ok, so I'm doing a quick Wiki search on Hanon's technique exercise and it seems to have its flaws, according to the article. They say it does more damage than good. Bach's Inventions and Sinfonias seems to be a better altnative.

I checked out the samples in Wiki, I have to admit Bach's *sounds* a lot more pleasing, whereas Hanon is dull and boring. But for the effectiveness of the technique exercises, I'm not so sure which one I should go anymore. Can any one give some input about this?

Yeah, I know absolutely nothing about music so it's a bit overwhelming right now....

Edit: by the way, is there any tip to improve sight reading? Even with the well known nemonics Every Good Boy Does Fine and FACE I still have problem sight reading. Or should I just continue what I'm doing and it'll progress? Patience is key, no?
