Module 11: Advanced technique
Arpeggios with correct fingering
Key points
- An arpeggio plays the notes of a chord one after another.
- Thumb-under movements keep arpeggios smooth across octaves.
- Practise slowly with a metronome, then raise the speed.
Major and minor scales in all keys
Key points
- Major scales follow the pattern whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half.
- Natural, harmonic and melodic are the three forms of the minor scale.
- Each key has standard fingering that keeps the hand relaxed.
Playing both hands at speed
Key points
- Practise each hand alone before putting them together.
- Start slowly and raise the metronome speed in small steps.
- Relaxed wrists and fingers help you play faster without strain.
Sight-reading practice
Key points
- Before playing, check the key signature, time signature and tempo.
- Keep a steady beat even if some notes are missed.
- Short daily practice with new music builds sight-reading skill.
