    As an intermediate pianist, I thought this exercise would be so easy! But, wow, not at all. Transposing the exercise into different keys, figuring out the level 3&4 chords for that scale, coordinating the fingering in both hands (scales and arpeggios) is a challenging brain exercise for me. I am going to use this as my daily warm-up, focusing on a different key each day. I will play the scale my usual way, and then follow up with your "fun" way. While I was practicing this today, my husband walked in and said, "That's a beautiful piece." LOL

      Agreed! I’ve been playing guitar for years, but recently broke my foot and it of work so I thought this would be the perfect two months to really start grinding away at the piano. The arpeggio with the left hand even at 60bpm and right hand in double was way over my skill level. This is going to be “fun”!

      learning skills at the cost of enjoyment, only gets you as far as need be for skills.
      Learning by enjoying at the cost of skill, only gets you as far as you can enjoy.
      Learning both in balance lets you progress, and enjoy the progression.
      One of the smartest things I saw from family guy is when Peter 'mastered' violin with a Fletcher like teacher, for a specific purpose, then snapped it right after.

      I think it must be a stripped back version but I learned it and now can play with my eyes closed in just one night! I am ecstatic! 😅
      Tonight, I picked this one as I really want to understand what I’m doing, not just copy learning songs, if that makes sense!
      I’m finding it hard to do the little skip up the keys! Can’t figure out if he uses his thumb to skip to the E or his middle. Thumb makes sense to me but I want to get it right soooo badly! 😂

I'm now hoping this exercise will get me out of my comfort zone a bit (I only need to memorise 3 chords) and it sounds lovely too.

    That's a great trick/lesson. I've pretty much got the hang of the C scale now (with right hand) so playing it with left hand chords will be an interesting challenge. I like how the first time through it leaves it hanging by ending on the E and the second time resolving on the C. Nice.
