What is the proper fingering in playing piano arpeggios?

Q. For example:First, you play C E G(C major chord) in the left hand and the next C E G for the right hand,then C E G again with the left hand.I've seen many players do this.Is it okay? or still the "Thumb-Index-Middle" Rule?

A. Ok, it's different with every arpeggio, it depends on what inversion you are doing, how many white key/black keys etc.

Let me break down the fingering,1-thumb 2- index 3- middle 4- ring 5- pinky

Original Question

what are the piano notes that make up the Eadd2 chord and also the Badd2 chord?
Q. please don't comment if you don't know about piano chords?

A. E major: E, G-sharp, B / minor E, G, B.
B major: B, D-sharp, F-sharp / minor B, D, F-sharp

add2 has nothing to do with classical theory or parlance. Sounds like you add the second scale degree within the key (major or minor) for the E chord, an F-sharp / the B chord, C-sharp.

You should be aware you are learning a limited theoretical terminology for one instrument or genre which is not universal to all musicians.

[ It is you, of course, who doesn't know about piano chords; that's why you're asking.... Just sayin'. ]

Original Question

How long could it take to learn playing on piano songs by hearing them?
Q. I've started piano lessons 2 months ago but i'm doing very well and learning fast! I love playing classical pieces but when do you think i'll be ready to play other famous songs by hearing them?

A. If you want to be able to play any song by hearing it you should practise all the chords. Start with the basics such as C major and G major (1 or 2 sharps and flats) and then go up to the really difficult ones such as A flat minor (3 to 5 sharps and flats). IT takes a long time to develop listening skills but with constant practice, within 3 months or so you should be able to play simple songs by ear. Most pieces are difficult to hear because they change key midway through the song. Playing the chords will help you recognise the key and work your way through the rest of the song from that.
You couls also try transposing some song to a different key for additional practice.
