So glad I stumbled upon your lessons. I've been struggling to work chord notes and fingerings into muscle memory. Your method of breaking up the notes into groups of black/white patterns will certainly get me there. Looking forward to watching many more of your videos for further helpful hints and advice. Thank you, Ashlee.
This video ties in nicely with your "How to memorize every major and minor chord (FOREVER)" video, which I think is such a great video for beginners... A must watch for anyone that hasn't watched it yet... thanks Ash 😍👍
Good breakdown! I also prefer 5-3-2-1 for the left hand too; it has the added bonus of a 1-3 crossover instead of a 1-4 crossover, which I find a little easier.
When I learned my arpeggios a hundred years ago, I just learned them. The patterns came to me later, as emergent properties of what I already had learned. No better and no worse than what Ashlee is teaching.
This was amazing! You are going to get a crap ton of views just from me especially on this video 😂. This is a great daily instructional video. I’ll download the pdf once I get to my computer. Thanks 🙏🏾 😊
That's an interesting approach to use the same fingering for root position for the different inversions different from how I learned. C major for example : root position as you showed: LH: C - E - G - C - E - G - C 5 3 2 1 3 2 1 For first inversion you showed using same fingers as root position: LH: E - G - C - E - G - C - E 3 2 1 3 2 1 3 For first inversion I was taught: LH: E - G - C - E - G - C - E 5 4 2 1 4 2 1 Similarly starting second inversion LH with the 5th finger and placing the thumb on the starting note of the inversion LH: G - C - E - G - C - E - G 5 3 2 1 3 2 1 I realize there are always different possibilities and preferences for fingerings. For inversions, is it better/easier to simply apply the root position fingering to all inversions? Or is there an advantage to using fingering which starts/ends/ with thumbs and 5th fingers in each inversions? Your thoughts ?
It really depends on context - for quick easy understanding, like in this video, I’d recommend what I said. For serious arpeggio practice (for exams, auditions, etc) I’d recommend your suggestion (what is also suggested in many scale books). When you see arpeggios come up in real pieces, it might be one or the other or a combination - so being aware that there are different options is a plus. Ultimately, choose one and stick with it. Once the muscle memory develops, you can always choose another one and stick with that one. That way you will be building your tool belt of possibilities.
@@AshleeYoungMusicStudio Excellent suggestions! Thank you! I agree that using the same fingering through the inversions as you are showing here is simpler, but it's also good to be aware of alternate fingerings as well :-)
Ashlee, I have been waiting for several hours now for the email verification link and so far nothing. Is it broke, or is the offer over? And I do receive your newsletters every day, so email is good.
I like your teaching methods but like all proficient players of any instrument you skim over the keys so rapidly that a beginner like me can't identify the keys you played properly. Otherwise no complaints and love the reviews you get. Thanks.
I wonder why almost everyone teaches the fingering technique 1 2 3 1 2 3 .. for white root position arpeggios instead of 2 3 1 2 3 1 .. With this alternate fingering technique, there isn't that big gap between 3 and 1.
I like your “work smarter, not harder” motto - it’s perfect!!
Thank you!
Thank you for the thorough finger positions for arpeggios.
Thanks
Thank you so much!!!

This is so great to hear! I’m glad it was helpful for you, and welcome to the channel!

Of course and thanks for saying so! I agree :)
@@AshleeYoungMusicStudio you are welcome beautiful ❤ 😍 👍

Yes exactly!
Thanks for the lessons Im learning so much from your so talented thanks for the lessons
You are such a good teacher. Thank you for your dedication to helping students like me. I have gained so much from your lessons. Blessings!❤
You are welcome and thanks for saying so!!
Excellent video, Ashlee. Very helpful. Thank You!
Thank you and you’re welcome!
Thanks Pat. I will try that. 🙂
I also like your smarter not harder that can be used for life situation also thanks for sharing your patterns it does help
Right? It’s funny because the motto started out as just being here for the channel… But I’ve adopted it in lots of areas of life :-)
Thank you very much, professor.
Thanks Ashlee, i just downloaded the pdf.
Awesome

Hi Ashlee! What software are you using to create your subtitles/closed captions? Thank you 🙏
Thank you! At this point, my assistant edits the videos and she uses CapCut :-)
@@AshleeYoungMusicStudio Thank you for your response Ashlee, I appreciate it! 🙏
That's an interesting approach to use the same fingering for root position for the different inversions different from how I learned.
C major for example :
root position as you showed:
LH: C - E - G - C - E - G - C
5 3 2 1 3 2 1
For first inversion you showed using same fingers as root position:
LH: E - G - C - E - G - C - E
3 2 1 3 2 1 3
For first inversion I was taught:
LH: E - G - C - E - G - C - E
5 4 2 1 4 2 1
Similarly starting second inversion LH with the 5th finger and placing the thumb on the starting note of the inversion
LH: G - C - E - G - C - E - G
5 3 2 1 3 2 1
I realize there are always different possibilities and preferences for fingerings. For inversions, is it better/easier to simply apply the root position fingering to all inversions?

I did not get the 2nd email with the free arpegios download
Is there something I'm missing
Hmmm that’s so odd - can you please email info@casualtoconfidentpianoplayer.com so we can get this sorted for you?

You can slow it down in the settings to a comfortable speed😊
Adjust playback speed. Have fun!

But speed becomes difficult
