Learn To Play: Left hand arpeggios in 3/4

We take a look at playing left hand arpeggios but in a 3/4 time signature, following popular demand from multiple subscribers. This video piano lesson is the three quarters equivalent of the following popular tutorial pair, which I did a long time ago but for a 4/4 signature:

So, what's the secret to really getting those interesting left hand piano arpeggios going? The answer is: to break them down into manageable chunks! By working on your left hand piano technique, you can really turn a dull chord into a much more lively arpeggio. This is achieved by developing a solid understanding of what notes can and should be "moved around", and what sort of connecting-notes can be inserted between them.

Another great idea for building rich sounding piano arpeggios is using templates: several patterns, complete with fingering, are suggested throughout the video. Next time you run into a chord you'll know exactly how to rearrange its notes to yield a pleasant sounding result.

If you want to learn more about arpeggios, starting in Wikipedia is always a safe bet:
"An arpeggio is a musical technique where notes in a chord are played or sung in sequence, one after the other, rather than ringing out simultaneously. This word comes from the Italian word "arpeggiare", which means "to play on a harp." An alternative translation of this term is "broken chord."
