ohmygosh im such a beginner at piano, but how do you start with the right hand while playing with the left? soon as i start with right i'll lose the beat of the left and like yeaah...

Im not sure if I explained it clearly

[ledzed]

Well, it's really hard at first.. so don't worry, it's the same with anybody. My hint to you is to practice really slowlly, beat per beat, thinking of the two hands as one single thing. It'll be lousy at the first times, but you'll get it as you keep on practicing.

i have a question... how do you play 2 different parts without getting confused? i find it extremely hard to play 2 parts without losing track... does anyone know?

[ledzed]

That's probably the greatest challenge of playing the piano!

I suggest you learn how to play each hand separately first. When you're able to play each one with some ease, try to put then together thinking of all parts as a single one. The sheet music gives you really helpful visual information to figure this out, so I also suggest you learn the basics of music notation.

The indepedence of the hands you'll come with practice.

Good luck =D

Thanks for the videos! I totally agree with you about getting hands to play together - seperate first so it feels as natural as possible, then bring them together slowly.

I've also found it helps to 'tap' out the rhythm of a particular bar (i.e. without playing any notes on the piano - use a table top for example) first using one hand, then trying the other, then bringing them together. That will help get the rhythm sorted, then it's a matter of transferring that rhythm to the piano notes.

:O)

@dheejhaay

thats the part where u split ur brains in 2, thats the hardest part im guessing, after some years it'll come easily.

@dheejhaay Hello!

Just a friendly hint you can try, it helped me "liberate" my hands.

When you are supposed to play a rythm, try to think what each hand has to hit at every exact moment.

If you think that this hand must play a beat and the other something else, you might lose it.

I was thinking that when i hit X note with the left, i was supposed to hit Y note with the right. And after slowly practising, i managed to make every hand independent :)

Hope this helps :)
