Tum Hi Ho on the piano: play the song with both hands

Advice

Learning the left and right hands simultaneously on the piano is an exciting challenge, requiring both synchronization and perseverance. It’s important to give yourself a certain amount of indulgence, as it may seem complex at first.

We advise you to watch the video once, then divide the piece into small parts of 5 to 10 seconds. Play each part with your right hand, then with your left. Once you’ve successfully trained each hand, play the short part with both hands together. Only move on to the next part when you’ve successfully completed the current section. Feel free to pause the video whenever you like to reposition your hands.

Every little step you take is a challenge, and it’s essential to appreciate your success!

Our La Touche Musicale app is packed with features that could make your job a whole lot easier. For example, the application is waiting for you! It’ll wait for you to play the right note before moving on.
