In this song, the arpeggio serves as an accompaniment to the vocals. Here’s how it’s structured: First chord: Plays notes in order from tonic to fifth and back. Second chord: Starts the arpeggio from the third instead of the tonic. Third chord: Omits the third, playing only the tonic and fifth for variety.

First, this is what a two-octave arpeggio looks like. A G major arpeggio is just the three notes of a G major chord (G, B, D) played going up, and then back down again. The big difference between arpeggios and triads are that arpeggios just keep doing in one direction – they don’t weave back and forth like triads do. Above is a 1-octave triad in C....
So let’s look at how to play an arpeggio. We’ll start by doing a C major arpeggio, since it’s easiest. I’ll start by showing you what a right hand 2-octave arpeggio looks like. The challenge of arpeggios is that you span a large swath of the piano quickly. Accuracy is the biggest issue here when you’re making large finger leaps. There are different...
The big challenge here is when your hand has to leap. We’ll start by looking at the right hand. The best way to do this quickly and smoothly is to partially cross your thumb under, but only partially. If you completely cross your thumb under, you’ll make an awkward elbow jab movement, which not only looks silly but slows you down, too. So you cross...
You don’t have to do hands together arpeggios in Grade 4 RCM, but you do need to know how to do them for Grade 4 ABRSM. This is tricky because each hand is going to be hopping in different spots. As always, play very slowly to get the movements down. You might even find it helpful to write out the arpeggio notes so you can visually see where your h...
So if you’re playing an arpeggio with black keys, there are a couple of important rules to keep in mind: 1. Never start with your thumb/pinky on a black key (the only exception to this is Gb major/Eb minor arpeggio) 2. If your chord has two black keys and one white key, your thumb is always going to be switching/playing on the one white key. The re...
I want to end this video talking about a question: What’s the point of learning arpeggios? There are a couple reasons. One is if you’re learning Classical music, you’ll often come across arpeggios built into the pieces – these are especially common in sonatinas and sonatas. If you learn how to play them on their own, it’s much easier to play them w...
Arpeggios are an amazing musical technique which you will come across all the time in lots of different styles. The music theory term arpeggio (or broken chord) simply describes when the notes of a chord are played one after the other rather than at the same time. This is as opposed to a block chord where the notes are all played at the same ...

C C -> G G A A G ... This is called a leap. A C major chord is made of C, E and G. Notice how in the above leap, we go from C to G. These are two of the notes in the arpeggio/chord. So if you are good at playing arpeggios, you don't have to worry about finding that G note, you'll already know exactly where it is.
