Now let’s move on to the most exciting stage: playing this song with both hands simultaneously on the keyboard.

Kill Bill on the piano: play the song with both hands

Advice

A common challenge for piano beginners is hand coordination, i.e. the ability to play with both hands simultaneously on the keyboard.

This exercise can be difficult at first, as it requires rapid and precise coordination between the movements of both hands, which can be complex for the brain. It therefore takes a lot of practice to acquire fluency and ease.

To optimize your learning, we recommend dividing the piece into short sequences of a few seconds each. Avoid parts that are too long, 30 to 40 seconds, which can be too difficult to master at first. Start slowly with each short sequence, then gradually increase the pace as you gain confidence.

This gradual approach enables your brain to assimilate information efficiently, promoting lasting learning. The use of learning tools such as La Touche Musicale can also be beneficial in supporting your progress.
