Great lesson. I really like your approach. I’m always scouring RU-vid for excellent videos and I find yours to be very easy to understand and informative. Thanks
Your instructions are clearly explained and duplicated by playing them so effortly. You may be the best there is in the wide pool of video tutorials. Thanks, and keep inspiring and teaching. Edward Henderson
Oh Susan this is AWESOME! I know this stuff and can do it, but never know HOW to practice various arpeggio patterns to make them more smooth and ingrained. I've done Schytte's (yeah it sounds like foul language when I pronounce it 😆) Little Prelude before and I LOVE your arrangement. I love cross hand triads - use that as a warm up so this arrangement is right up my alley!
Hi, looks like snow. Thank you so much for this video Susan. It really is a game changer for me. Just the elbow movement in the arpeggios is a great step. The tension and pending finger pain didn't come about. If I sound like Schytte, I can take it as a compliment.
Music puns are the best 😆 Yep, we had lots of snow for a week or so. And I'm SO glad to hear that the elbow movement seems to be helping with your finger pain!
Welcome back Susan! Another fabulous lesson. I'm still working on pedaling with "La pièce sans nom". These videos of yours are almost enough to make me pop for RU-vid Premium!
Thank you so much Susan …appreciate this lesson. I did not know what arpeggios were, so finding it a bit more challenging, but not giving up … will continue to practice as you are advising us to do . Thank you once more.
Exciting to see how wonderful this sounds. I have a lot of work to get here. Still working trying to get the independent hand movements down. Can't wait till I can do this. Thank you.
You're welcome! Once you get the independent hand movements down, they can be transferred (transposed) to other chords and progressions pretty easily. Good luck!
This was perfect! I've been trying to get more arpeggio practice, and to more quickly recognize inversions in broken chord forms. Your lesson provides some well-needed structure. Thanks for the pdf!! I do have an arpeggio question. What happens when the root is a black key--say for B-flat major? I keep hearing "don't play black keys with the thumb or pinky unless you absolutely have to." But my scale book, doesn't even give fingerings for arpeggios after C-major, making me assume that all keys are the same--starting on 5 or 1 independent of white or black key.
Great question. If it's simply a 5-finger chord (Bb-D-F) that you are playing broken, you can still use the same fingering. Sometimes I use 4 instead of 5 in my LH. However, arpeggios are different. For Bb arpeggio: LH - 321321... RH - 412412. You can watch this for more details: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BttI7sOlYb0.htmlsi=xYS2No-KU_BJHGQT
