I came across this video and remembered how much I learned from your tv show on PBS when I started out on piano. Learned some new arpeggio patterns, thank you.
Well thanks! That certainly just made my day! I appreciate the nice words ... and more ... I'm thrilled I am "getting through" and this stuff makes sense to you. Have fun!
I have never had the opportunity to take a piano lesson with you but I feel like you're an excellent and experienced teacher but most of all: an excellent person 😀 With these kind of short videos I feel like I've learned so much and You just make me everyday a better piano enthusiast Thank you very much for That and I hope one day I can take a TuTorial or even a class witH you... Why not! Greetings from Mexico!
Oh my while practising moonlight somata, those are arpeggios, however, i still have lazy fingers when playing other songs, want to play them well improvising arpeggios, I have your tape and book one. thanks
Thank you so much for such a fun packed learning experience. I actually laughed out loud towards the end!! Have a great day - I certainly did after watching this video.
Thank you for this post. You have a great way of explaining Concepts and ideas that seemed rather foreign when it comes to Theory. You got to sell it baby, great line LOL.
Ya know what for me playing these arpeggios looks hard that I screwed up the fingering for some of my scales practice. Playing arpeggios was only the beginning of my practice but I'll get use to it.
HI SIR SCOTT,,THAT WAS SUCH A NICE INTRODUCTION TO ARPEGGIOS. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHAT AN ARPEGGIO IS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SIMPLE PRACTICAL EXPLANATION YOU SHARED . I ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDEO AND ALSO VERY ENTERTAINING PERSON YOU ARE SIR. I LIKE THAT SO MUCH..I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD...HAHAHAHAH
Your arpeggio video is one of the greatest explanation ever see. I am learning piano. I have a question . How can I learn a song today at home but when I go to class or in public I panic get nervous and forget everything I practice? What can I do?
Thanks for the nice complement... You get nervous because you haven't done it much. That's all. Stage fright is something that just goes away (for 99% of people) after you've played in public a few times. Realize that what you are trying to do (play piano for fun) is something that 99% of the people that might be watching/listening WISH they could do. They won't be harsh critics in most cases ... just jealous. That helps ease some jitters I think :-)
+Manny Singh The trick is to wait for a long pause in the melody line, typically at the end of a phrase somewhere. Then during the pause in the melody, you can fill in a few beats or maybe a whole measure or two if there is that much space, to run up or down a bit and give things a little flourish. Hope that helps...
Ostinato just refers to a pattern that repeats over and over. So I suppose if you repeated an arpeggio over and over the same way within a song you could create an ostinato out of an arpeggio ...
I’ve practiced arpeggios so much as of late, but I still can’t get the fluency I want down. I can do small ones like 2 or 3 octave span but want to move to a full 7 octaves, any help?
Just my opinion Scott, but there's a difference between a relaxed, "this is fun" attitude, and falling into the trap of trying to generate traffic with silly behavior and graphics. If that really reflects your personality, then it's certainly not for me to criticize, cause it's real.. But remember first impressions matter. I've learned that the "POW! Super Secret Left Hand Pattern" type of videos, with the person yelling like a carnival barker, seldom convey any actual pedagogy, so I almost gave up after the first 20 seconds. But even if you do it, keep it a little cleaner between the actual teaching, and the joking? You SO quickly moved into the kidding about "make a big gesture and scrunch your face", that I thought "is this about making music or about showing off"? Then you chilled out, "... all kidding aside", and were very natural, warm, and appealing in your delivery. REALLY appreciate the clean headshot with neutral background when you are talking, and the overhead keyboard view is perfect. Just suggest a bit of "less is more" on the joking.
Great video and I like your sense of ha ha. I tend to take this stuff too seriously and forget it is supposed to be fun. Subed.
Right! It's called PLAYing piano, not WORKing piano ... Never forget it and you'll have a LOT more fun :-)
I really appreciate your humor along with your truly professional skill...this video struck a chord for me. :)
Fantastic; tried 5 beginner arpeggio vids to get to your simple answer and description. Thank you, kind sir :)
Glad it helped! :-)
this guy is a total goofball and I love it
I was desperate to play my keyboard, You bring my spirit back
I love his KISS method of teaching. wonderful
+Mel Majors Thanks for the nice words Mel.

"You gotta sell it, baby!"
Made me laugh. Thank you!

Whats the name of the one he was doing at the beginning?
Moonlight sonata, I believe.
Ya know what for me playing these arpeggios looks hard that I screwed up the fingering for some of my scales practice. Playing arpeggios was only the beginning of my practice but I'll get use to it.
Great video
I love how you explain it 😉👍🏻
Loved it
Anyone knows the name of the piece of music he plays in the first few minutes.

I share the same stage anxiety too! how can i control my anxiety so that my fingers won’t go soft and to stay calm to perform well?
How do Arpeggios fit in bits? If i wanna arpegiate a chord that repeats for 4 times, do i play every note 4 times?
thank you very much sir
Thank u this helped me do my exam.
I love ur class u are a good teacher
thx! appreciate it...
I love his online courses too, I'm taking them now, better than traditional piano lessons.
Brillaint
Appreciate it ...
New sub here 👋. Can’t wait to practice the “anguished look” in the end. I’ve been doing it wrong all along.
How can u insert arpeggio with melodies thanks
+Manny Singh The trick is to wait for a long pause in the melody line, typically at the end of a phrase somewhere.

Hope that helps...
can u give the suitable example thanks
Play Piano In A Flash / PianoGuyTV you are great =)
Thank you
"You got to sell it baby, you got to sell it!" hahahahahahahahaahah GOOD STUFF!
Yeah this piano playing stuff is VERY serious in my world. :-) They call it playing piano, not working piano, right?
"You gotta sell it."
thanks for the video, but i am having one confusion between ostinato and arpeggio, if you can help
Ostinato just refers to a pattern that repeats over and over. So I suppose if you repeated an arpeggio over and over the same way within a song you could create an ostinato out of an arpeggio ...
0:23 Could you please tell me the name of this piece? Great Video! Thank you :)
Mourad Blil It is moonlight sonata
Is it absolutely necessary to play arpeggios with correct fingering❓😁👍🏻
You reming me of Steve Jobs.
Pianist Ghandi
????
Cool teacher you are :)
I’ve practiced arpeggios so much as of late, but I still can’t get the fluency I want down. I can do small ones like 2 or 3 octave span but want to move to a full 7 octaves, any help?
Yes - put casters on your piano bench so you can slide up and down the length of the keyboard vs. leaning way left and right. :-)
Play Piano In A Flash / PianoGuyTV thank you, I will try that, and I’m gonna do some hard work on fluency over this week
cool thanks bro
u got to sell it baby!
5:39
This is the best piece of information I've ever heard
#look_serious XD
Thanks
:-)
what piece did he play in the beginning?
Using the term "play" was generous (ha!)... but it was a tiny snippet of Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven)
Play Piano In A Flash / PianoGuyTV thanks😀
Arpeggios are very common in Trance music.
Whats the first song/intro?
It's just generic "bumper" music we use for the intros and outros. Tried to put something together that sounded cheery and happy :-)
Play Piano In A Flash / PianoGuyTV no i mean when you introduce arrpegio that sound sad
Play Piano In A Flash / PianoGuyTV at 0:23
Moonlight Sonata
Play Piano In A Flash / PianoGuyTV ok thx
I thought an arpeggio is playing a broken chord plus the root note but an octive higher.e.g C arpeggio is CEGC.
Are you still teaching?
Sure am! www.pianoinaflash.com is where you can find anything and everything about my program
I just started playing piano, and I'm getting a little sick of all these people telling me notes are important. I mean, I'm a free spirit.
LOL
I love you guy .... you have humor ....
but I'm danish nearly at 70' - and I find it hard to learn :-))
7400Denmark blueberry hill
I wanna be as good as he at piano
Sell it.......nice angle. Thanks.
