Tips
Arpeggio in E is a short exercise in the key of E. Being only 8 bars in length, it is short and it should be treated as an educational exercise piece rather than an actual song. You can always combine these 8 bars with another piece. In other word play Arpeggio in E as a prelude to longer piece in the same key.
