Podcasts about arpeggios

I once had a student say this to me: “But it doesn't work when I do it that way.” We were trying to fix a passage in a piece she was learning. When she played the passage for me, there was an obvious stumble spot, and I had a definite idea about what was wrong and how to fix it. But after a week of trying to implement my suggestion, she came back to me, saying that her old way, even though it wasn't really working, worked better than mine and so she was sticking with her way.  Please understand that the student didn't doubt the solution I was offering. She had tried it, just as I had suggested. She had confidence in my ability to help her surmount this difficulty. The frustration for her was not just that the solution I offered didn't work; it was that her old way was actually better for her, at least at that moment. At that point in our lesson, I could have responded with the all-time favorite response of music teachers everywhere - you have to give it some time.  That would certainly have been a correct response in that it was true, but that doesn't mean it would have been very helpful. But if I didn't want to trot out that old standby answer, I had to provide a different one. It was clear to me what she needed to know. She needed to know why.  This was years ago. I hadn't published all the resources that I have now. I didn't have the teaching experience that I have garnered in the years since then. But even back then, I was a good teacher, one who not only knew the right way to do things, but was skilled at seeing the underlying problem that a student needed to address. What I needed to learn, though, was how communicate my methodology, not a technique method necessarily, but how I knew my way of solving the problem would be better in the long run. When “just trust me on this,” or “because I said so” aren't good enough answers, the better response lies in the reason, the explanation, and that requires a teacher to dig deeply into her own expertise. After all, it's likely been a long while since we teachers asked for those explanations ourselves. We're at a point where we simply know, and that's good for us, but less helpful for our students.  So today, I'm hoping to share with you the reasoning behind some of those potential “because this is the way it works” answers. Whether you're a student or a teacher, or just a harpist who has an inquiring mind, I'm sure at least one of these will click for you.

If I were to ask you what you think the most important skills are for any harpist, what would you say? There are lots of obvious choices. You might include technical skills, like scales or arpeggios or putting hands together. You could mention skills like note reading, or sight reading, or rhythm skills or knowing basic music theory. What about working with a metronome or playing expressively? All of these are important, and none of them is particularly easy.  While all of these are crucial, I consider them all just part of playing the harp. Every harpist develops these skills continually, every day, over a lifetime of playing. Some of them come more naturally than others, but we become more skillful in all of them over time. It's also a fact that neglecting one of these essential elements - and my list was by no means a complete one - will limit our playing at some time in some way. Today, though, I want us to think about a different category of skills, skills that are less about actually playing the harp and more about the mindset we bring to our playing. Our ideas and attitudes play a big part in the pace of our progress, the ease with which we practice and play, and the satisfaction and fulfillment we experience along the way. I've seen too many harpists struggle in their playing, simply because no one ever told them how musical growth really happens, or shared with them the specific instructions that will enable them to make the progress they want, to play the music they want. These aren't musical instructions; they are mindset instructions. They relate to our playing, but they also guide the way we work, how we spend our time at the harp. So while they aren't “do this, don't do that” directions, they are “put this on a sticky note on your music stand” reminders, and I've picked three big ones to talk about with you today. So get out your sticky notes, and let's get going. Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Join the Arpeggios with E.A.S.E. Quick Study Course.

Do you have to memorize your music? Of course not. How's that for an easy answer? Okay, the podcast is over and we can call it a day. But of course, the answer isn't that simple.  No, you don't have to memorize your music, but the fact that you're asking the question tells me that you're almost certainly thinking about memorization the wrong way, or at least very differently from how I have learned to think of it. What I want to help you understand today is the role that memorization can play in your musical growth, how it can make you a better musician, how it can help you learn music faster, not necessarily because you are memorizing, but because the act of memorizing brings your focus to the music in a different way. But not if you're trying to memorize the way you may have when you were young. The kind of effortless assimilation that came so easily to me when I was younger, and perhaps to you too, doesn't happen with my aging brain. I still memorize, but I use a process that is more conscious, less automatic, and I can tell you that the conscious process is easier, more secure and more interesting. When I memorize this way, I know I know my music. That's practically confidence in a bottle. What I'm going to help you understand today is the true value of memorization, whether or not you ever play without your music, and how you can develop your powers of memorization, even if you can't remember where you left your glasses. Memorization isn't about remembering. It's about learning and knowing, done purposefully, and it's not as hard or as scary as you may think. If you're already a confident memorizer, then that idea won't be new to you, but keep listening, because there will be a few important ideas and strategies in this episode that will help you too.  Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Join the Arpeggios with E.A.S.E Quick Study Course.

Ein gesetzter Dichter, ein Jahr vor seinem Tod, zieht Bilanzund distanziert sich: Das Gedicht „Eure Etüden“ von Gottfried Benn setzt sich schon im Titel deutlich ab. „Eure Etüden, Arpeggios, Dankchoral sind zum Ermüden und bleiben rein lokal.“ Nichts von Bedeutung, nichts, was bleibt. Ein Schmähgedicht, bis sich am Ende eine unerwartete Sehnsucht zeigt, ein seufzendes Wunsch-Bild: Könnte da noch mehr sein hinter der Fassade? Dagegen dichtet Arno Holz mit jungen 23, „An die Konventionellen“, ebenso Distanzierung vom Bekannten, von den Schablonen, der Dressur und dem Schulstaub. Unerschrocken nennt der junge Wilde, wie sich „ein heilig Feuer“ in seine Dichtung einsenkt, echt und unverstellt: „Ich bin ein Mensch, ich bin ein Stück Natur!“ Aufregend. Tief. Dazu gibt es Bibelworte von Jeremia und aus dem Matthäusevangelium.

I was psyched to dust off a few pedals that have been with me for many years and put them in a signal chain with a pedal that, while not new to the market, is new to me.

The podcast is topped off with talks about the upcoming Festivals, Future UU+ Solos, the new Play Along, and Peter Moon's Legacy.

If I had to choose one finger pattern that I could count on to almost always show up in a piece, it would be an arpeggio. Arpeggios and the harp go together like peanut butter and jelly. In fact, the Italian word for harp is arpa, which has the same first three letters as arpeggio. That's because the word arpeggio comes from the Italian word arpeggiare, which means to play on a harp.  See what I mean? Peanut butter and jelly. Whether the arpeggios show up as full sweeps of sound over the entire range of the harp or simply a left hand accompaniment pattern or anything in between, arpeggios are everywhere in harp music, so it's essential to learn to play them well. The first time a student comes across an arpeggio, they are shown how an arpeggio is really a chord in which all the notes are played one after the other instead of simultaneously. They are taught the rules of placing for arpeggios and given exercises to learn to read them quickly and play them fluidly. But often, when the arpeggios get faster or more complex, those basic skills are not enough.  We don't simply want to play them cleanly; we want them to sound even and clear.We don't want to play them only at exercise speed; we need to be able to control the fingers over the full range of tempo possibilities.We don't want them to sound clunky or plunky; we want them to be beautiful arching gestures.In short, we want them to ripple. So today, we will talk about the finer points of arpeggios. Naturally we will go over all the basics of placing and playing, but we'll dive deeper into how to shape your arpeggios, have them sound relaxed and flowing, and yes, to make them ripple.

In this episode of the Learn Jazz Standards Podcast, Brent addresses a question from Paul Elwood about connecting scales/arpeggios and improvisation. Brent emphasizes that scales and arpeggios are foundational tools but suggests a shift in mindset from thinking about chord tones or scales to improvising more instinctively. He introduces a framework involving learning, recomposing, composing, and improvising to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and creative expression.Brent encourages musicians to experiment, let their ears guide them, and embrace the joy of improvisation. The episode concludes with a reminder about the importance of knowledge in action and focused, effective practice.Important Links:Free Guide to learning standards by ear: Learn Jazz Standards the Smart WayLJS Inner Circle MembershipListen to the Learn Jazz Standards PodcastLearn Jazz Standards Inner Circle: Get 50% off your first month!

  How to WriteSweeping Arpeggiosusing a unique layering technique     Download PDF Tutorialincludes multitrack MIDI file  If the link above does not work, paste this into your browser:https://hackmusictheory.com/album/2639559/sweeping-arpeggios    Intro.  Do your arpeggios all sound rather similar? It's a common problem for producers. Arpeggios are when you play a chord one note at a time, and it's one of the best techniques for making your progressions more interesting. And while it's definitely more rare to hear arpeggios than “block” chords in popular music genres, most of the arpeggios you do hear are rather boring. Merely playing chords one note at a time is not a foolproof way of making progressions more creative. If you want better arpeggios, you need to write an internal melody within them. Want even better arpeggios? Write two internal melodies, or maybe even three! What are we talking about when we talk about “internal melodies”? Well, the melodies need to be formed from notes within the arpeggios, as opposed to writing a melody over the top of them. There's obviously nothing wrong with doing that, but it will be heard as a separate melody, not as part of the arpeggios. While there's an abundance of genius examples of this in classical music, there are sadly not many to be found in popular music genres. If you're into the rock side of things, Muse has plenty of creative arpeggios. Examples are even rarer on the electronic side of things, though, but Daft Punk comes to the rescue with their song “Motherboard” (check out their new “Drumless Edition” of this song, as it's easier to hear the arpeggios). At 28 seconds into this track, the most beautiful arpeggios begin to sweep up and down. Despite their fast pace (i.e. 1/16 notes), they're thoroughly calming due to their smooth, sweeping motion. And it's not just the fast pace that makes their arpeggios so creative, it's also their choice of notes. So, inspired by “Motherboard”, here's our 5-step method for writing sweeping arpeggios, which are guaranteed to stand out from all those boring, clichéd arpeggios. But first… Tea!    Step 1. Chords  As arpeggios are simply broken up chords, the first step is to write a chord progression. So, set your tempo to 103 BPM, then create a four-bar loop and set your grid to 1/16 notes. Daft Punk play their arpeggios on woodwind instruments, but we'll get to that in the last step. For now, we actually recommend using a piano, for two reasons. Firstly, piano arpeggios are beautiful, so if you want, you can keep them on a piano sound (we did). Secondly, the piano has a much bigger range than any woodwind instrument, so you won't be held back by not being able to play a note because it's too high/low for that instrument. Daft Punk's arpeggios are in the key of E minor, so we'll use it too:  E natural minor 1 2 ♭3 4 5 ♭6 ♭7 Em F♯dim Gmaj Am Bm Cmaj Dmaj   Regarding what chords to choose. This PDF is all about arpeggios, so we're not going to cover the “chord choice” topic. If you need help with writing better chord progressions, we recommend our Songwriting & Producing Course. The only three guidelines we suggest are to choose four chords, avoid the diminished chord, and play the root chord somewhere (you don't have to start with it, though). Here are the chords we chose for our progression: Cmaj → Gmaj → Dmaj → Em After you've chosen your four chords, draw in each chord's root note for one bar.  Root note of each chord in progression   Download the free PDF to read the rest of this tutorial…    Download PDF Tutorial      Lastly, are you new to music theory?

There are a lot of safe spaces for me in music - form, instrumentation, and many others. They're useful, but pushing out of those spaces is where the *really* interesting stuff happens. In this episode I cover the creation of the song Demain - one of my most electronic songs to date.

On this episode of the Beginner Guitar Academy podcast, we're delving into Arpeggios, specifically how to play them and why they're beneficial. I discuss the difference between harmonic and melodic Arpeggios and provide tips for practising them effectively.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning you wanted us to talk about further? Let us know in the comments below! We started with the idea this would be a 15-20 minute book talk. Somehow, this book inspired to expand this into a much more ambitious project. We involved a licensed mental health therapist and a friend who's read Japanese literature for 20 years to create this project today. We're going to look at the philosophy, psychology, mental illness, and diagnoses of Yozo today. We are going to talk about nihilism, idealized self, imposter syndrome and more. This is all meant to be for entertainment and we hope you can view it that way.

Arpeggio, also known as a "broken chord," denotes a chord in which each note is audibly heard separately. Specifically, they're the notes that make up the chords played separately. Arpeggio helps musicians bridge the gap between strumming chords and running scales. By using this technique in a solo, you can better match the passing chords in the progression to create a more meaningful story sound.In today's episode of Steve Stine Guitar Podcasts, Steve shows how to play arpeggios and do it solo. He also specifies that visualizing arpeggio will make it easier for you to play it.Tune in now and learn more techniques!Highlights:(02:06) Building Out Arpeggios a Little Bigger.(05:36) Visualizing the Arpeggio. (08:38) Moving From Scale to Arpeggio.(12:40)The Problem With the G-Sharp.(14:55) Using Shapes for the D Major.(16:29)Looking For Unique Ways to Approach Your Playing.(18:14)Fretboard Freedom Webinar.Links:Steve's Channel → https://www.youtube.com/user/stinemus... GuitarZoom Channel → https://www.youtube.com/user/guitarz0... Songs Channel → https://www.youtube.com/user/GuitarSo... . Check out Steve's Guitar Membership and Courses: https://bit.ly/3rbZ3He
