- “Whenever you’re playing an arpeggio, think of it having a really strong musical purpose.”
Penelope Roskell shows you how to develop the flowing arm movements necessary for playing smooth, accurate, and powerful arpeggios. She demonstrates how to properly execute the thumb under movements necessary for multi-octave arpeggios.

Thank you so much! My arpeggios sound so much better with this. I routinely tripped up over the 5th finger because I was hesitant to lift my thumb too early.
I am about to restart piano lessons in a month or so after a multi-year hiatus and very much look forward to it. One thing I know is that my arpeggio and scale techniques need an overhaul. I was always concerned with trying to to connect everything with thumb under and hand over. The result of doing so was what I would called chicken wings with my elbow flailing outward and contorting to try and achieve this end. You have to be cautious of excessive elbow movement and I have come to understand, even before watching this video, is that fast arpeggios and scales/scalar passages aren't played with thumb under/hand over.
Melliflous presentation, superb guidance, Bravo! Encore!

This tip came in the perfect moment for me. Thanks!!!
I love imitating glissandos with two hands
Thank you, very useful exercise.
Very nice lesson
I have a very short right hand thumb and I'm finding it a real strain for arpeggios. My left hand is fine but the right just is painful. I'm not sure how to fix this.
@onemanfran you might enjoy our recent video about various exercises for the thumb! Penelope Roskell discusses some arm movement exercises which might help with a short thumb. ruclips.net/video/wgTnvNsgQIg/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Genial!!!
What was the intro song?! It was beautiful
Un Sospiro by Franz Liszt
If you want to find the score on IMSLP, it’s Concert Etude No. 3, “Un Sospiro” (S.144), and probably still listed in French under “3 Études de concert, S.144”
Good lesson
She did play G sharp minor, but in the second inversion. I know your comment is one year old, but this video here is not for beginners of the piano. Look up 7 simple exercises by a piano teacher called Jazer, this video might be much more suitable for you.
What if it’s uncomfortable to “connect” using thumb under? I often hear another school of thought that one should move the entire hand to the next position instead of waiting until the thumb is played.
This is essentially what she's advocating. Personally, I believe you should always connect unless there's a particular musical/artistic context where it makes more sense not to.
If you're having discomfort or pain , you're likely attempting to play your arpeggios faster than your actually able to. Slow it down (COUGH...METRONOME). Also, you don't have to stretch or awkwardly rotate to connect these. Practice these slow enough to allow space for you to become aware of when and where tension arises so you can purposely release it.
For some people, it is more than simply uncomfortable. It’s nearly impossible. The mobility of the MCP joint of the thumb varies among individuals. This is a genetic variance. For example, I can barely touch the tip of my thumb to the base of my ring finger. And, contra Nope.jpg, it would indeed be be necessary to “stretch or awkwardly rotate” in order to perform a thumb legato connection. The only alternative is to perform a series of short, controlled leaps with a very precise use of the pedal.
Two important factors are how big is your hand and how long are your fingers, so find the better solution for yourself :)
I believe the best way is make a mix between the two techniques, seying more, I think when we master arpeggios, naturally we mix these.
It’s both though, isn’t it? Your whole hand _and_ arm have to move together to fit the flow across the keyboard.
The thumb tucking underneath unfortunately is a miss practice. When you are going really fast, such as playing a Liszt Paganini etude no.6 the last variation, it is literally impossible to tuck your thumb underneath like what this video shows.
Instead, one should simply move the arm horizontally, which you will create a gap between your 3rd finger and your thumb, (and no one would notice the gap because the music is going so fast) and this is how you could feel comfortable and physically able to play the arpeggios.
I guess we’ll all see what you mean once we get to that piece
I was never so excited to start a video, and so disappointed at the poor presentation.
I'm a Noobie and want to progress, and love this channel for their serious approach. But I couldn't follow anything she said. There are programs to show the keys played, and their are verbal directions about the notes played. She stated the chords she was going to play, but I don't think she played the chords she said. G sharp minor? In the right hand. I watched several times and didn't see any of the keys, and was...hopelessly lost.
If you don't know the basics you shouldn't go for harder pieces 😊
You’re not ready for arpeggios, that’s all. Hanon exercises are a good first stop before approaching technical progression. Exercise #39 for scales and #41 for arpeggios (same order of major/minor scales) are what you should be looking at first.
Practice that for a bit, strictly adhering to the fingering shown, and when you come back to this video it will all make perfect sense, including the reason she didn’t give note names or anything like that. The motions are the technique, _not_ the specific notes.
She is NOT naming the keynotes by letters, NOT sure what is being played!
as she mentioned, LH plays Ab maj and RH plays G# min
@@nandovancreij NOT everyone knows what ab, minor chords or major.. still not clear what was played! 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐
@@teedtad2534 internet exists
@@teedtad2534 if you are a pianist you should have been taught the basics of scales from when you started. If not, there is something wrong.
@@OctoPlaysPiano oh yeah,. You sound like it would HURT her to do a good review, is she that lazy??! 😫🤐😫🤐😫
