      I’m with you. I’m also a guitar player for about 30 years and good at the instrument. I started playing piano recently and thought I wouldn’t have an issue since my picking hand and fretting hand don’t do the same thing either. I feel like my guitar playing has really only helped with the fact that I have decent finger independence. Other than that, I’m struggling.

    When you begin piano, the right and left hand each learn a separate horizontal sequence of notes. When you begin hands together, view the score as vertical stacks of notes played at the same time. This step orients the brain to coordinate the hands. For each stack of more than two notes, slowly move through the score playing each stack and using the fingers you used in learning each hand separately. When you can repeat this effortlessly, stack by stack, slowly play with hands together, watching the stacks come by and go. No tears, no fears, no sweat.

    These exercises look awesome. Thank you. I probably spent 10 hours on piano over 1 month and then came across these exercises today. Reached level 3 today but will try to spend 30 minutes a day to see where I can reach.
    Day 3: Got to level 4. Slow and steady. Find it difficult to switch between 3 and 4 but i suppose that is ok
    Day 4 and 5: Able to reach up to level 8 now but no success in matching metronome yet. In case anyone is reading this, what clicked for me was this : I looked and concentrated only on hand that was doing more repetitions and somehow it worked for me as other hand at that time is just doing one key at a time and that is probably taken care of by level 1 and 2 practice. That is just my guess.
    Now to level 9 tomorrow. 😅😅

    I am in my 61st year and tomorrow I will have been playing for two weeks. Understanding the need for the basics, I am concentrating more on technical skills than trying to learn songs at this point (the one exception is Autumn Leaves). I have watched a number of your videos for beginners, and your tutorials have helped greatly, especially keeping the fingers on the keys. I have noticed that my thumbs are the hardest to control, not that I am lifting, but they tend to move sideways (to either the B [in the right hand] or the A [in the left]). But I'll get it down.
    Thanks so much and I look forward to learning more from you. Keep up the good work! (Yes, I have mashed all the requisite buttons.)

I challenge them to use their left hand in everyday activities such as eating or drinking. I also found some great exercises found at the end of John Thompson's 2nd Grade book for taking students through little exercises to strengthen and coordinate each finger.

    I am so glad I found your lessons. I am self taught on piano and I have so many bad habits. The strange thing is, I have a Master's Degree in music (vocal) and I also compose music. I composed a set of 3 songs for my Master's Recital but I cannot play any of them as they are too complicated. At the time, I bought the Finale software and input all the music one note at a time. The first time I played it back on the computer, I cried when I heard it (tears of joy). Vocally, I can sight-read just about anything, but on the piano, I can sight read it until I have to play it. When I compose, I hear it in my head, then write it down. I would love to be able to play the piano parts as I hear them in my head.
    I have a very good understanding of music theory, but my piano skills are so weak. I would like to be able to play my compositions. I am hoping your series of lessons will help me out! They make a lot of sense. Just curious, how long do you think it would take me to become somewhat proficient?

    Amazing, thank you! I've "played" for years, never had a lesson, don't know how to read music and only learned one scale, a couple of songs and a very basic collection of chords. About 2-years ago I watched a video that taught me how chords worked and that opened up a whole lot but I'd never been able to grasp the concept of playing with 2 hands other than one finger on the same beat. I first watched this video on Feb 1st and these exercises, up to #8, changed the way I'm able to use my left hand. Last night I felt ready to try exercise 9 and I was fully lost but then I saw your slowed down video and it made sense to me! The hand percussion totally put it into my head and a couple of hours later I was actually able to do it!
    Thank you so much! #10 once I'm fully comfortable with this. Also from some of your other videos, your advice to repeat something 7-times, that it's better to do it slowly and correctly over quickly and wrong, and practicing small sections rather than the whole thing have also really helped. Thanks again.

    Jazer you have a special gift for teaching and an awesome piano player. I will add this hands-together exercise to my daily practice because it is exactly what I need. Thank you!

    Really helpful exercises. Thank you for introducing them to me! I find counting out loud while doing them helps to improve smoothness and timing accuracy.

    Very interesting, thank you! I don’t have the best grasp on theory but I can read music for multiple instruments and my teachers have always said I played by ear (didn’t realize that), play a bit of guitar, violin and clarinet but I want to conquer piano. Playing Chopin is my dream.
