In order to play much of Suzuki Book 2 and any early intermediate literature, a student needs to be able to play an arpeggio with ease. An arpeggio outlines a triad and provides both melody and harmony in a quick, easy, and charming way to a lot of piano music.
Small hands need to be careful though, not to have an excess of stretching. The arm should support the hand, which should support the fingers, which should all be carried along to each note.
Below is an example of a child learning the C arpeggio. The notes are C-E-G-C with fingering for the right hand being 1-2-3-5 (coming back down with the same notes and respective fingerings).
