General piano lesson questions

What's an arpegio?

Question/ Thank you for your piano lesson. I look forward to your next. What is an arpeggio?

Answer/ Hi there

I am happy to hear you are enjoying my piano lessons.

In answer to your question, an arpeggio is a type of scale. If you place your right thumb (finger 1 ) on middle C and then place finger 2 on E and finger 3 on G you are playing a C major chord. If you were to play these one after the other then you would call this an arpeggio - it is like a broken chord. This may seem confusing to you at this early stage but I'm sure you will pick things up quickly.
