Some brains just seem to be wired up for learning to work their hands independently from the start. There are many youngsters who find it very easy and many intelligent adults who struggle and despair that they will never master the skill. But don't despair when taking piano lessons. By following the steps below anyone can learn to play piano. Some will take longer and some may have to keep repeating and repeating whilst feeling they're getting nowhere, but in reality there is improvement; it's just very slow. Let's look at the three steps. First of all be sure that the music you are studying is easy enough for you. Don't try to gallop ahead. You'll only get frustrated with the challenge. Adults often try to tackle piano music which is technically way beyond them whereas long term success comes quicker by mastering very simple steps along the way. With the piano keyboard your brain has to contend with many unfamiliar commands and learn new motor skills. When you think of the story of the hare and the tortoise you can realise that with playing the piano, slow and steady to the finishing line really is the best policy. Secondly, make sure you can play each hand absolutely perfectly and you feel totally confident, so that someone very special walking in to the room wouldn't distract or put you off for a split second. You should be able to play the left hand whilst singing the melody of the right hand at the same time. This is a great way to start to detach your playing from your conscious thinking. Eventually your hands will carry on playing wherever your mind may be. Lastly, be sure to take everything slowly at first. When practicing independent hands take a very slow tempo. Watch your fingers playing the notes and know that you are in control. As soon as you start to play with both hands, cut the speed in half (way slower than you think you could play it or that you know it should go) and be very, very precise over how you play the notes. Watch the fingers playing the notes and be aware that you're in control of every movement they make (you are, aren't you?)! By following these simple steps, you will learn piano very quickly. For some people it will happen almost instantaneously whilst others will have to struggle, but if you persevere and keep repeating these steps the hands will eventually seem to know instinctively which piano notes to play and when.
