The objective of this coursebook is to guide you in practicing arpeggios on the piano in a playful non tiresome manner. Arpeggios are everywhere â?? in every musical style (in Blues Jazz as well as in classical music) in accompanying as well as in improvising in the right-hand as well as in the left-hand part. To the pianist they are technically and harmonically indispensable. Therefore as a beginning pianist you have no choice there is no way around them! This coursebook gives you the opportunity to learn or revise all the most important arpeggios: the major arpeggio the minor arpeggio the major seventh arpeggio (maj7) the minor seventh arpeggio (m7) and thedominant seventh arpeggio (7). For each you are given its composition and fingerings as well as three technical exercises (to learn how to handle it) and seven musical applications (accompaniments and solos) which are to be played along to backing tracks. For every musical application you have five different recordings at your disposal which appear on the mp3 CD in the following order: the piano alone â?? first at actual playing speed then at a slower speed; the same piano part played along to its backing track; and finally the backing track alone â?? first at actual playing speed then at a slower speed too. You thus have the possibility to work at your own rhythm and pace in accordance with your level and ability. Taken all together the tutorial provides more than 5 h of musical practice.
