What if there was one practice routine that would make you a smarter and more capable musician on the piano? Well there might not be only<\/i> one thing, but after watching this video and following these tips, you’ll be better equipped to play songs, chords, and improve your hand independence– all in the same practice!<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For our left hand, we are going to be running through some simple one-octave arpeggios<\/a> in a D Major progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNotes: <\/strong>Root Note > Major 3rd > 5th > Root (1 octave up)Chords: <\/strong>D > Bm > A > <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/p>\n\n\n\nNote that when transitioning to the next chord in the progression, we lead in with the second-to-last note in the arpeggio so that we naturally start on the root of the next chord.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 2: Triad Inversions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTriad inversions can be very challenging for a beginner, so start slow, and I\u2019ll give you some helpful tips in the video along the way. \ud83d\udcdd<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe\u2019ll follow the same D Major progression as our left hand, only I want you to start on the root chord, and work your way up through both inversions to the root chord one octave up, and then back down again.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPositions: <\/strong>Root > 1st Inv. > 2nd Inv. > Root(+) > 2nd Inv. > 1st inv. > Root<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/p>\n\n\n\n\ud83d\udd25\ud83c\udfb9 Hot tip:<\/i> Notice how my hands slide towards the top of the keys when playing these inversions? It makes it much easier to reach, and a lot more comfortable to play.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nNow I want you to practice that on each<\/i> of the chords (D Maj, B min, A Maj, G Maj). Follow along with the video, and if you are having trouble with this, check out our rundown on chord inversions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 3: Both Hands Together!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNow that we\u2019ve reviewed both patterns, let\u2019s put them both together to make a beautiful and musical practice routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLeft Hand \/ Right HandD \/ Root ChordF# \/ 1st InversionA \/ 2nd InversionD (up one octave) \/ Root chord (up one octave)<\/p>\n\n\n\nMake sure to start slowly, gradually ramping up your speed. It might take weeks<\/i> to get comfortable with these changing chord shapes, but once you\u2019ve reached a point where you can play through this progression fluidly, you\u2019re ready for the next (and final \ud83d\ude4f) step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 4: Two Notes For Every Inversion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOkay, are you ready??<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is definitely the most advanced step in the exercise. I want you to use the same left hand arpeggio we\u2019ve been working on for each chord, but this time, instead of playing one note with your left hand to every chord inversion, play 2 notes<\/i> in your left hand sequence for each of the triads in your right.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs you get more confident you can speed up your playing <\/a>, but be sure to spend as long as you need on each part of the progression, taking time to master each inversion, and the transitions between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt looks complicated, and it might take some time to master, but spend some time with this combination practice regimen and you\u2019ll be working arpeggios, triads, your hand independence, and<\/i> moving through a chord progression– all at the same time.<\/i> \ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cThere\u2019s no ifs, ands, or buts: If you want to be amazing at the piano, technique is really something you have to be working on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nEven if you feel like this is above your skill level, it is something to aspire to as a player. Nothing is impossible, and practicing technique should be a part of your everyday routine– because that is what\u2019s going to make you the best piano player you can be.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\ud83d\udd25 HOT TIP!<\/strong><\/i> If you feel like your technique is keeping you from becoming the pianist you want to be, check out our special on piano technique made easy<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nClosing Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFinally, why not get creative? As you practice your technique, you might begin to settle in as it becomes second nature, and be at risk of getting bored. This is a great exercise to spool up your skills on an incremental basis. Having something like this where you can start with a simple exercise and work your way up as you\u2019re more comfortable will always keep you engaged so you\u2019re never on \u2018autopilot\u2019 and always moving towards the next step in your piano playing journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if there was just one practice that would make you a smarter and more capable musician on the piano?
