[MusicTlk] Piano Arpeggio Playing

[Linda Mentink]

Hi Jo,

The easiest way to do it is by crossing your hands. Play the first 
three notes with your left, the next three notes with your right, and 
alternate for as many octaves as you need to play. While one hand is 
playing move the other hand to the next notes it will need to play.

If you're trying to play an arpeggio of more than an octave with one 
hand, you'll have to finger it differently so that you can turn your 
thumb under in preparation for the next octave. Well, maybe you won't 
have to finger it differently because you're a man, and have bigger 
hands and longer fingers than I have. I hope this helps. And, yes, 
it's muscle memory!

Blessings,

Linda
