      Right! It's called PLAYing piano, not WORKing piano ... Never forget it and you'll have a LOT more fun :-)

    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.

    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?

    • @pianoinaflash
      @pianoinaflash  8 років тому +1

      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 :-)

  • @mannysinghsingercomposer3

    How can u insert arpeggio with melodies thanks

    • @pianoinaflash
      @pianoinaflash  9 років тому

      +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...

    thanks for the video, but i am having one confusion between ostinato and arpeggio, if you can help

    • @pianoinaflash
      @pianoinaflash  6 років тому +1

      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?

    • @pianoinaflash
      @pianoinaflash  6 років тому +1

      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. :-)

  • @stanleyslawski1339
    @stanleyslawski1339 6 років тому +1

    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.
