How to play piano with both hands

The secret to playing piano with both hands is to stop trying to do two things simultaneously. Just do one thing at a time and you’ll be fine.

If you want to get good at this, I made a YouTube playlist (“Both Hands”) on the topic.

To venture deeper into my cult, check out the Basic Hand Coordination Exercise.
