It has a root, then the next note is 3 semitones up, then the next note is 4 semitones up.

For a minor triad, it is the other way round.

So, a major triad has a root, then the next note is 4 semitones up, then the next note is 3 semitones up.

This results in the root and 3rd being three semitones apart, and the 3rd and 5th being four semitones apart. Take a major triad and just lower the 3rd (middle note) by a semitone, as before.

Add another note three semitones above the 3rd.

Root position just means that the root is in the bass, i.e.

Add a note four semitones above the root (a semitone is the smallest distance from one key to the next). This gives you the 3rd of the chord - or the middle note if it is in root position.

Pick a note - this will be the root of the chord.

These are just the fingering patterns: Feel free to use 5 when appropriate (first note, last note, turning around).If you don’t know the relevant scales or key signatures, you can still work out any major or minor triad, but using a different method, which is as follows.

Because it is natural and easy to play arpeggios in threes, but not in fours, one’s focus should be on getting a convincing four-to-a-beat arpeggio sound (sixteenth-notes).

Try to avoid accenting every three notes.

Occasionally in the literature arpeggios have to be played with a smooth legato, but repeatedly passing the thumb such extreme distances can lead to injuries.

When practicing arpeggios, don’t worry about maintaining a legato touch.

In the literature, it may be appropriate to put the thumb on a black key for the sake of execution, but crossing to the thumb on a black key from a white key (or from the thumb on a black key to a white key) should be avoided whenever possible.

The fingerings given below represent the “official” accepted uses of fourth and third fingers. Use whatever is most appropriate given the individual circumstances in the literature. The fourth and third finger are often interchangeable in the patterns.

The fifth finger is only used at a starting place, a stopping place, or a turning-around place.

The thumb always stays on the white keys, except when there are no white keys (F♯/G♭ major and D♯/E♭ minor).The arpeggio fingering pattern repeats every three notes, so that every octave has the same fingering.Piano Arpeggio Fingerings General Arpeggio Fingering Rules
