Hello there! I am having a hard time syncing my left hand with my right hand when trying to attempt to learn and play some songs. How can I be better at it? Sure, practice is good but is there any other way I can get better at syncing both my hands and play "naturally"?

Thank you and have a good day!

Try working on some Hanon exercises to get your hands to play simultaneously in unison. The repetition of the exercises helps sync up your hands. Also LISTEN to what you are doing. A lot of students are so intent on reading the music, they don't listen to themselves, and they often don't play the hands together.

Another trick is to keep your eyes moving slightly ahead of the music in front of you. Your eyes should be about 1 or 2 notes ahead of where your hands are. It gives your brain just enough time to prepare for the next finger position, and will help you play more in sync. Sounds like you are probably seeing one staff at a time, so by looking ahead, it may help you play more smoothly.

Are you actually learning piano? If so, then I'd say that it will come with time. Just keep practising.



If you don't actually play piano, then it's tricky to try and master the left hand/right hand coordination. In my experience, such a skill comes from reading music and translating it to your hands. It's really hard to describe, but for me, it came from reading music.

"Sync" shouldn't be a problem, the hard part is playing independently.



Want to sync them?



... Drop both your hands on the keys at the same time.

two, however I can see you're simply finding out. The concern is - you shouldn't have dynamics. You will have to attempt to play the notes in a extra emotional method, in any other case it feels such as you simply studied through center which keys to press and you do not honestly play the tune. Also, you will have to paintings in your motility. One be aware need to result in a different, you will have to play in terms, attempt to speak along with your tune. If you speak, you do not say one paintings at a time, I. Do. Not. Think. So. Get it? Try to enter the tune, do not simply play what's written down. Hope to listen to new and elevated types quickly - excellent of success

my mother had this same problem, even after 20 years of practice! she would ultimately just slow down her playing abit 'til she could sync them back up. just don't give up!
