A Minor Arpeggio Sheet Music

We've learned how to construct and play an A tonic minor arpeggio on the violin, but now let's take a look at it on staff paper. This is our treble clef. Now this is our first scale degree which is A, so we put a 1 under it. The second is C natural. C natural, usually in an A major scale which is where this A tonic minor arpeggio is derived from, has three sharps. One of them is C sharp. Now, we'll natural it. We have to put that accidental next to it. Third is E. A has a 4 and also has a 0 over it. That's for an open string. Remember, we were talking about playing it with an open string. That's what the symbol is, a zero. Five, C natural. E open, the seventh has a third degree, third finger over it because it's played with your third finger. The eighth has a first, nine has a 3, and ten has a fourth finger.
