Not sure if this helps anyone but I wrote it down:

Step 1: Left hand arpeggios:
- D, F#, A, D (2nd time stop at F#)
- B, D, F#, B
- A, C#, E, A
- G, B, D, G

Step 2: Right hand triad (inversions):
- D major: root (D, F#, A); 1st inversion (F#, A, D): finger 2 instead of 3 and move hand forward; 2nd inversion (A, D, F#); root and back
- B minor: root (B, D, F#): hand slightly forward; 1st (D, F#, B); 2nd (F#, B, D); root and back
- A major: root (A, C#, E): use C# as landmark for hand movement; 1st (C#, E, A), 2nd (E, A, C#); root and back
- G major: root (G, B, D), 1st (B, D, G); 2nd (D, G, B); root and back

Step 3: Line up arpeggio notes with chords (first with one note per chord and finally with two notes for every chord!)

Bonus: end with A and D (left) and D major (right)

I’m waiting for my piano delivery (haven’t played for like 8 years) so I’m preparing my practice exercises! Thanks for the great video!

Dear Lisa,
I have followed your lessons for 7 months and you’ve made me believe that an old dog (can) learn new tricks. I’ve told you before in a previous comment that I’ve always wanted to learn to play piano. I was apprehensive because I have Shrapnel damage to my Left hand and some of my fingers aren’t able to be as flexible as I would like. It was so hard at first but you once said that I could use the finger position that works for me. So I did and it worked.
Through constant practice and believing in myself I’ve not only learned to play basic melodies but my understanding of chords, notes, arpeggios and so much more is becoming second nature to me. I am so proud of my progress that as a birthday present to myself I plan to signup for your full course. I’ve just turned 61 Yrs old this month.
I’m playing not for fame or to impress others, but for me and me only and I couldn’t be happier.

Your enthusiasm, energy and infectious smile has made me believe in myself.

Thank you so much.

Kevin M. Thompson, Cincinnati, Ohio

An extension to this would be to reverse the hand patterns, so the right is playing the arpeggio while the left is playing the chords. Both hands should improve at various techniques.

As an adult, I took piano lessons close to 20 years ago. After several years away from the piano, I've been trying to get back to playing. I've picked up my old lesson books, but for the most part, I'm not enjoying playing. I am so happy to have found Pianote. I've only checked out a few of your lessons but I am already more interested and excited to be playing. Thank you

You just pull it off like it’s nothing and I’m here sitting and thinking, “Yeah, this is gonna take an eternity and a half to actually do.”

[grandiosa]

One week in and I see a small progression. My understanding of doing this is that if I master this, I may as well master a lot of other things coming later. Truly grateful for the help provided by you and other youtubers.

[asinner]

I love this. I am just trying to learn piano and piano music theory and technique after wanting to for many years, and it's incredible how many nice people like yourself are sharing the knowledge and techniques you have gained from years of playing. Thank you so much.

[Tiger-sgzj]

Thank you, Lisa.
This answered 3 of my questions at the same time! Your videos have me practicing so often I might cancel my cable tv because I don't watch it...I'd rather play the piano!!

...Ended up I have cancelled my cable. Do NOT miss it at all !!!!

[NafBamf]

Love, love, love your ability to pass on your knowledge so simply and so enthusiastically. I really appreciate you and the platform you have set up for experienced and beginner students to glean from your wealth of musical ability in small bites! Thank you.

[amandajcarr-brown]

Love this! Stated practising 5 days ago. Followed Lisa's advice and sat at the piano today and kept up with Lisa. 🙂

[productions]

love this. I'm now working on it where I do the chords with the left hand and arpeggio with the right. Such an excellent exercise

[michael]

I am so glad I put so much practice in on those G inversions.
Everytime I play an inversion I remember you saying how important they were going to be....
Thanks Ms.Lisa....
