  • In this piano lesson, we will be talking about what an arpeggio is, exercises to master your arpeggios, and advice on how to practice your arpeggios. This is meant to be an easy beginners tutorial to introduce you to arpeggios and presenting how to develop a proper technique in playing them. You need to learn arpeggios since they appear in music all the time, they help us develop proper piano technique, and help us develop coordination. Like with scales, arpeggios should be an essential part of your practice routine.

      Hi, I’m quite confused as I’m trying to learn a song called Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, in the song there’s arpeggio consisting of B F B and D from the bottom up in the bass clef. My problem is that the D is a minum unlike the other 3 notes that are semibreves. How would this be played exactly?

    Thanks Tim! I practice my C, D & G scales each time I practice (as far as I've gotten in my PLOTW classes so far) and I'm now ready to add some arpeggios! Appreciate the info as always! Check out Tim's classes - they are challenging but very rewarding. Go at your own pace!

    Very Good video. Arpeggios for familiarity with finger movement and dexterity and the enhanced learning of songs because of this.
    I've been putting these into practice - Major & Minor Triads, then add 7th, and maj7, then dim and aug chords too, for fun.

    • @LessonsOnTheWeb

    My son, who lives across the country, and I play a back and forth word game. I came across arpeggio and looked up the word in a real, paper dictionary. After I read it I still couldn’t understand what an arpeggio is. I watched your video and I have a much better idea. Thank you. The thing I find interesting and sad is that Jeanniepark in comments felt the need to tell you your background music showed your “immaturity”.?!?! How about if you just SUGGEST he not use it and if he continues, go to another site….

  • @alejandromedina2349
    @alejandromedina2349 2 года назад

    Thanks for your lesson! If I may I have something to ask. There is information for Major arpeggios, usually in 3 or four notes like CEGC. There are also dominant and diminished sevenths arpeggios. Why is so hard to find drills for Major or Minor 7ths arpeggios?

  • @aland8269
    @aland8269 7 лет назад +2

    So is the first triad for all of them just the note, like c, then 2 tones, so then e, then 1.5 tones, so then g?

  • @gourabsynth
    @gourabsynth 4 года назад +13

    Thank You for this video. Is there any perfect fingering pattern to practice Arpeggios ? Or it depends on our comfortable fingering pattern?
    I mean to say during left hand practicing, most obviously the first note/tonic should be played with Pinky; is that necessary to play the next note with Ring Finger ? Or l can place my comfortable one(Middle/Index Finger) to play the next note?

    • @MadalynnVL
      @MadalynnVL 4 года назад +3

      This was going to be my question, too....

    • @joshuakingtl
      @joshuakingtl 4 года назад +7

      Yes you can but the Pinker is a better option: it helps strengthen your muscle memory, that way you can play your appegios without having to look at your piano. Hope this was helpful..

    Why did you use the 4th finger on the left hand ascending for E, but switched to the 3rd finger descending for E?

  • @mabdub
    @mabdub 3 года назад +1

    How do you play an arpeggiated (wavy line) quarter note triad with the left hand while playing a quarter note with the right hand? More to the point, which note of the arpeggio is pedalled, the bottom first note or the upper last note? I'm guessing that the arpeggio is probably played very quickly in which case it might be the top note that actually comes together with the quarter note in the right hand. Does this sound right to you? I'm confused.

  • @ginacampanale7855
    @ginacampanale7855 4 года назад

    1 any note being played one at a time; the arrow represents the direction of the arpeggio,and signal notes represent arpeggio,
    2 signal note played with left and right hand.
    3 helps with the dexterity, function,and coordination.
    4. Everyday, left and right hand together on the c scale.

    This is among the best explanations of arpeggios I have come across....but....and it's a small one...this video would have been way more enjoyable without the background music. Thanks for taking the time to produce it though .

  • @theflightlessbird7723
    @theflightlessbird7723 7 лет назад

    for the right hand ascending arpeggios, should it be a thumb under motion just shifting the thumb to the next place?

    • @LessonsOnTheWeb
      @LessonsOnTheWeb  7 лет назад

      It's the thumb under motion, but you will have to shift your hand a little as well since there is larger gap between the fifth of the chord back to the root.

  • @zimway57
    @zimway57 3 года назад

    I was curious about the left hand fingering. You appear to be using your third finger most of the time but your sheet music uses 5-4-2-1-4-2-1-4 etc. You play these so fast I had difficulty following. Can I mix and match whatever feels comfortable on the left hand? I am enjoying your videos and this is one of many weak areas for me. Thank you

  • @marthaudom4529

  • @ryzusaku
    @ryzusaku 4 года назад +4

    I have a problem with arpeggios ruining my scales.
    So basically, right after playing arpeggios, if i try playing scales, my hands collapses and its all messed up, fingers are jumping further than usual and i need to go very slow on the scales for some time to get them back to my normal speed.
    Its frustrating and it gives me the feeling of regress. Is that normal at the beginning? Will it go away with time?

    The “wiggle” as you call it denotes what is called broken chord. Arpeggios are the notes written out in any rhythmic pattern. Not the same.

    Question 1
    An Arpeggio is a chord played one note at a time. There are 3 notes in an arpeggio.
    Question 2
    Arpeggios give the player a better understanding of the piano and where certain notes lay
    Question 3
    The best way to practice arpeggios is to take it slow at first. Practice one arpeggio a day in addition to the arpeggio played during the previous day.
    Thanks for these videos! Really cleared up some confusion
