I am a beginner piano player and I am having such a hard time getting the fingering right on scales and arpeggios. Does anyone have advice on how to get the correct fingering to stick in your head? I would really appreciate your knowledge!

 arpeggio exercizes?
February 27, 2011, 10:04:45 PM by soitainly

I know what an arpeggio is of course, and I know they are prevalant in a large part of piano music. I came from classical guitar and arpeggios are the foundation of playing much of the music. I didn't spend much time on studies, I found that just playing the pieces gave me all the practice I needed.
I hear quite often that piano students along with scales, devote some time to arpeggio studies. Are there specific things you work on. Do you start with simple one octave triads and then work up to multi octave exercizes using both hands. I haven't seen any written exercises on this subject. I could probably get by without lots of studies but maybe it would be easier to have a few just to progress a little faster.

Problem with arpeggios/Thumb over on scales
December 29, 2010, 12:37:41 AM by countrymath

Hello people.
Im starting to practice arpeggios, on triads, but when i go from the 5th to the octave, it keeps with a "break", a lack of sound between these two notes. How should i practice to make a good "legato" arpeggio?
And one more thing, anyone here knows about practicing scales with the thumb over, instead of the thumb under technique?
I saw it on a book and i got interested on trying that.

Playing Apreggios Fast and Clean
April 12, 2009, 06:02:48 AM by pianolover9

Hello All,
This is my first post at this amazing piano forum and so glad I found it!
Please help!
I have been playing piano for about 18 years however I have never really been able to play arpeggios like I have seen some people. I can go to about 2 maybe 3 octaves upward without any problems but cant go past that like I would like and can't come back down "clean", meaning without missing the desired keys.
I don't know if I am lacking fingering (which I doubt but could) or I am not playing the proper scale/chord arpeggio.
I found a perfect example of what I am trying to play here http://tinyurl.com/dgzzaq.
If you notice at :15-:19, this pianist is playing the upward passage with 2 hands but then comes down with one.
The other great passage is around :21 and especially the end.
Can anyone please tell me what is the solution to this? I know it's something basic, maybe just simply practice but I have practiced for many hours. I just can't seem to get it that clean.
I am all ears guys and gals.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!

I keep screwing up my scales!
April 16, 2008, 06:46:24 AM by nightlordq

there is a certain slowest speed I can play in my 1st exam for the ascending and descending scales like C major, G major, minor or whatever. I play them fine slowly but when I have to play at the slowest speed or faster in the exam, I keep screwing up. The contramotion, chromatic, broken chords I have absolutely no problem with, but can anyone please give me advice on how to play my ascending and descending scales mastered perfectly?
How do u play arpeggio's? I've never learnt them

Arpeggios and Scales ARGH!
December 10, 2007, 05:35:25 PM by tcovenent

I've been learning classical piano for about 6 Months now. Even though I'm not interested in becoming a concert pianist (My biggest ambition is to start an amateur Symphonic Metal band and play a few Nightwish covers), I chose classical piano for a reason, I respect the general concentration on technical ability and discipline, not to mention most of my favourite Keyboardists were classically trained and I'm of the mentality that if you can hit high you can hit low.
Therefore I don't want an easy way out, I'm prepared to put as much into this as possible, one thing I don't have is time.
I made the decision to practice all the scales and arpeggios every day early on in my training, from day one when I could barely play the C scale seperate hands. Everyday I played it until I got it right once. Eventually I learned the G scale, D, etc. Again I played them one after the other until I got them right, as long as I got them right once, tone, dynamics and everything, everyday, eventually I'd get them right HT instantly.
Eventually my teacher introduced me to the metronome... so I decided to practice them with a metronome, starting from 40 bpm and adding 20 bpm every month for each scale....which made getting them right each day considerably harder.
He thought me how to play the arpeggio of each scale... so I started doing the arpeggios too.
Then he made a comment that my sightreading wasn't good enough... so I started after a while I started practicing each scale without looking at my hands.
Then my teacher said that getting them right once, everyday wasn't enough.... so I played them until I got them right three times in a row.
All this was manageable at the beginning, but back then I barely knew all the white key major scales... now I know all the major and harmonic minor scales (flats included), not to mention their arpeggios, the chromatic scale, and the time it takes me to get through this excersize is ridiculous. One hour, at least, each day, JUST ON ARPEGGIOS AND SCALES leaving me little time to acctually practice any music.
I'd acctually like to learn the melodic minor scales at some point, not to mention other types of arpeggios besides major and minor triads. I have absolutely no time to do any other technical excersizes, I'd like to practice thrills maybe, and set time specifically for sightreading excersizes.
My teacher is absolutely NO HELP on this, he just gives me a piece I have to learn by such and such time and leaves me to it. When I asked him for advise regarding this he just fobbed me off with the typical Practice, Practice, Practice... that's the PROBLEM!.
Personally I don't think I'm practicing right. Scales and Arpeggios can't possibly be this damn time consuming, I don't think I need to practice them everyday.
I was thinking of playing the major, harmonic minor, melodic minor, major and minor arpeggio, chromatic, and maybe a few other excersizes for one key everyday. So C one day, then G the next, etcetera, etcetera. This would be a lot more manageable in my opinion, not to mention it would cover a wider area.
This would mean though that I wouldn't be practicing each scale, each day. But is that a bad thing, do I REALLY need to practice each scale EACH day?
Also, does playing them right three times in a row help any?

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
