Learn how to cultivate vigor in your arpeggio playing by focusing on proper "standing up" action on principle notes. Discover how to create an attractive, volumetric rhythmic pulse and apply these techniques to solid scales for comprehensive improvement
Solving arpeggio challenges: movement and dynamics
Tackle common issues in arpeggio playing, such as difficulty with crossing over the thumb. Understand the interplay between flexors and extensors for a "bubbly" sound and how to use hand angling to improve evenness
The pirouette principle: enhancing finger elasticity
Explore the "pirouette" concept for refined arpeggio motion. Learn exercises to elasticize fingers and incorporate a "hidden finger lift" to achieve a more brilliant and articulate sound in your playing
The arm's influence: achieving seamless arpeggio transitions
Discover the crucial role of the arm in supporting smooth arpeggio movements and preventing hand collapse. Learn how to engage the arm effectively to create a "big tunnel" for the thumb, ensuring a natural and efficient technique
Legato arpeggios: overcoming the hand flip
Address the common challenge of legato arpeggios and the dreaded "hand flip." Understand the underlying principles of hand dynamics, drawing analogies to "crossing a stream" to maintain continuous, fluid motion
Refining arpeggio technique: standing and launching
Delve deeper into arpeggio mechanics, focusing on the "standing up" action of the thumb and fingers to create seamless transitions and a "pearly" sound. Explore the subtle degrees of movement for optimal performance.
The octave jump: building foundational arpeggio technique
Learn the initial steps of teaching arpeggios, starting with the octave jump and emphasizing proper thumb movement and hand posture to avoid common pitfalls. Discover how to establish a strong foundation for fluid piano playing
It looks like a circle but it doesn't feel like it
In order to go fast, we must conserve the movement of the hand
If the left hand stood up more, it would help the right hand
This is generally applicable accros the board but another good example is Chopin's Op. 10 No. 1
