FAQ 3. How to Coordinate the Left and Right Hands
Every book I have used says that it's good to practice each hand individually first--treble clef with the right, then bass clef with the left. But they all say 'then gradually bring the hands together'. Easier said than done it seems. They don't seem very specific about how to do this. There has got to be a better way..?? Basically put the right hand on the note and put the left hand on the note you are going to hit and like “here we go!”~ play together. But before you attempt to play with the both hands, please go through these three steps. One: Practice passages with each hand separately until you have mastered the technical difficulties. Work with one hand until it becomes smooth, then switch to the other hand. Spend more time with the weaker hand, usually the left, but do not overwork either one. Practice hands together only when you can play correctly with each hand separately. Two: Usually the right hand takes the melody and itʼs fun to play. Then my suggestion to make the left hand practice fun which usually takes the accompaniment such as the chords or the bass notes is you would sing or hum the right hand melody without playing piano. Pretend you became a bass player or one of the band members. This piano is the most multi tasking instrument among the other instruments. Normally one instrument only produce one melody or one line. You are challenging two or more peopleʼs job all together. Applause! Great work! Three: On the desk or the piano lid, tap you hands together as the music goes. Once you go the both timing right, now you can move your both hands and fingers to the right and the left as if you are playing on the piano. Itʼs like a virtual or simulation practice. And you are totally fine with this action, you are so ready to tackle on the real piano. http://Piano123Play.com
FAQ 3. How to Coordinate the Left and Right Hands Itʼs slow to do this action at the beginning but gradually it becomes faster as you practice it many times. Itʼs like your typing on the computer keyboard. Your name or the word “Hi” or “Thank you” could be spelled and type faster that others because you are doing this so many times. Your finger muscle remember this kinetic action ( itʼs called the kinetic memory or the muscle memory). Hands together playing is one hundred times harder than a single hand practice, but when you did it right, you are going to feel just great each time. Because the harmony of music itself gives you the pleasure a thousand times better than playing a single melody.
