​ALSO TRY; LH- chord   RH- improvise on Root and 3rd

II-V-I
Continue on the 2 octave arpeggios without iReal

iReal Practice   II-V-I in 12 keys
 1) RH- Alternate Full Scale to Root Position Arpeggios (ALT/OPTION- to make some or all descending)
 2) RH- Moving harmonic 3rds (3 on each chord to start) When comfortable add more steps

Even on 1 octave practice try to keep the thumb off of black keys

THEORY CONCEPTS

There are 3 ways Roots of Chords can move;

2nd
C to B/Bb or D/Db
Keep chord position

5th
C to G/F#/F
Change between Root and 2nd inversion

3rd
C to E/Eb or A/Ab
Chord can go either way
