A couple of questions:
(It`s very hard to search on this forum so I made a new thread)

What are the most common things that beginners have trouble with?

How many here had problems with playing with both hands in the beginning?
Is it something that comes along when you know most of the keys?

Thanks for your time.

Well, I think most instruments require both hands. The difference is that here they don`t necessarily work in tandem. Remember that the left hand is controlled by the right hemisphere of the neocortex and the right hand is controlled by the left hemisphere of the neocortex. In an sense you have two brains which have to be trained individually. On the other...um...hand, there is also the corpus collosum, the band of the nerves connecting the hemispheres.

hrmmm, i cant remember problems that i had back in the day, but alot of my students have trouble keeping bent fingers, and sight reading. I never had problems playing with both hands, but one of my students can never seeem to get her hands together. Being able to play with both hands will come with improved technique.

Well, it`s not actually a piano then, is it?
