Coffin Dance on the piano: play the song with both hands

Advice

Playing the piano with both hands requires coordination and patience. Be easy on yourself, as synchronizing the movements of both hands can be a challenge at first.

It’s important to bear in mind that mastering a new piece on the piano can take time, sometimes several weeks. However, once you’ve mastered it, you’ll be able to play your favorite piece with ease. Regular practice will enable you to get to know it perfectly, making sheet music almost superfluous. The interactive application La Touche Musicale can be a valuable resource to help you in this process.

Here’s a useful tip: divide the piece into segments of a few seconds, ideally between 5 and 10.

Start by concentrating on the series of notes your right hand should play for each selected segment. Repeat this part until you feel comfortable, then move on to the series of notes intended for the left hand. Once you’ve mastered the parts corresponding to each hand for a given segment, try coordinating them.

Continue this method segment by segment. When you feel ready, combine these segments to create a seamless, fluid performance. This step-by-step approach to learning the piano will enable you to savor each small step forward and make the overall challenge more accessible as you practice.
