Introduction
Learn how to play easy and beautiful piano arpeggios with Grassroots Piano in this informative and engaging video lesson.
Lesson Overview
In this lesson, Jim from Grassroots Piano introduces four exercises to help beginners improve their finger coordination and hand positioning while playing arpeggios on the piano. Starting with a simple pattern, Jim gradually introduces more complex exercises to challenge and improve your piano skills. There are 4 different patterns, but in the beginning Jim goes over in detail on different ways to play the chord.
Pattern 1: C Chord
Jim starts by demonstrating a pattern using the C chord, focusing on hand positioning and finger coordination. He emphasizes the importance of getting comfortable with the motion and suggests using the pedal to add depth to the sound.
By practicing this pattern, beginners can start building a foundation for more advanced arpeggio exercises.
Pattern 2: F Chord
Moving on to the F chord, Jim introduces a new pattern that incorporates different fingerings and hand movements. He encourages viewers to experiment with different notes within the chord to create a melodic sound.
By practicing this exercise, pianists can improve their accuracy and dexterity when playing arpeggios.
Pattern 3: G Chord
In the third pattern, Jim focuses on the G chord and introduces a broken blocked pattern to help pianists avoid splatting the notes. By emphasizing the use of the fifth and fourth fingers, this exercise aims to improve finger strength and agility.
Practicing this pattern can help pianists develop a more fluid and controlled arpeggio technique.
Pattern 4: Bonus Exercise
As a bonus, Jim introduces a fourth pattern that challenges pianists to play the top notes of the arpeggios with precision. By incorporating different fingerings and hand positions, this exercise helps pianists refine their arpeggio playing skills.
Practicing this bonus exercise can enhance overall finger coordination and musical expression on the piano.
