Most arpeggios are still be played separate hands except for A major and G minor which need to be played both hands so more practice would be required. If you would like to them according to the order of difficulty, please refer to the graded syllabus. The arpeggios here are not arranged by order of difficulty, but rather in a chronological order. Black key scales uses a completely different set of fingering each from white key scales and thus would require more practice. For slow learners, it is still advisable for parents to learn so that they can guide their children at home.Īll scales are to be played 2 octaves, hands together and separately. For those who want to learn or revise all the minor arpeggios, all minor arpeggio diagrams and videos are complied here.

For this grade, there are two black-key major scale introduced – B flat major and E flat major. The general fingering is (right hand ascending): 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3. For those who have skipped to grade 3 from grade 1, you would need to work very hard as this is a huge transition from grade 1 scales. Arpeggios are similar to scales, but could be seen as more melodic and more colorful.

For Grade 3, students should be quite familiar with playing white-key scales with both hands if they have gone through the grade 2 syllabus.
