How can I improve my hand independence?
Here's a way to help yourself:
- Learn the left hand first, followed by the right hand.
- After sufficiently learning each hand individually, combine the two hands.
- The key thing to remember here is to take your time.
- Gradually raise the tempo from a slow enough pace (one in which you can play the part correctly).
How long does it take to get hand independence?
If youre ONLY practicing hand independence I would say a month or two to see some real improvement. Probably closer to 3 or 4 if you're practicing other things. Don't rush it, just practice and it will come.
