Arpeggio exercises

on: April 18, 2004, 07:34:13 PM

What did you do to practice arps when you were still a beginner? And what exactly is an arpeggio, can it be any 3 notes repeated up the piano, like C E G C E G C E G with the same hand?

1. Repeated them over and over
2. An arpeggio is the sounding of the tones of a chord in rapid succession rather than simultaneously, so not really, and you can do them sometimes with two hands
