Why is it easier to play with your right hand on the piano then your left hand?

Question

When i play with my right hand, i play excellent. But when it comes to my left hand, i can hardly move it around on the keyboard. My left hand just sort of doesnt want to move fast the way i want it to. Any helpful tips you'd like to share, besides "Practice, practice, practice"?

Answer 1

Well im right handed and i can't use a mouse, bounce a basket ball or basickly anything with my right hand.

But i can play keyboard with my left hand.

Do hand exercises with ur left hand just simple tapping to begin with

Answer 2

It probably depends on whether your left-handed or right-handed

I'm right-handed so it's easier to write with that hand then the left same thing with pino. The only thing I can suggest is practice with your left hand and try to make yourself ambidextrous.

Answer 3

It depends on your preference. You aslo have to exercise your hands and do finger stretching exercises (basically increasing the distance you can stretch your fingers horizontally). Exercise both your hands as well as techniques so that when you lift certain fingers (typically your ring finger when raised while your hand is in the playing posistion causes your pinky finger to follow) to play a particualar key only THAT finger comes up alone.

So basically again it all depends on which one of your hands is more adjile *sorry if thats spelled wrong*

Answer 4

Stab in the dark here, are you a righty?

Answer 5

Yea, I'm guessing you are right-handed.  A lefty would say it's easier to play with your left hand, lol

Answer 6

First of all, if you are a righty then of course right hand is easier.  All I can say is don't get a song with really hard left hand parts, and secondly, if you do get a song with a hard left hand part then practice on the left hand part without the right hand part.

Answer 7

because the notes well to me the notes for the right hand are easier to read. besides the left hand notes are upside down!

Answer 8

Hi Dre

First, it has nothing to do whether you are right or left handed. I am a left-handd gitarist and play right-handed.

I am also proficient on piano and my right hand is faster than my left.

The secret is to practice what you are weak in, not what you are at ease with.

Double the practice on the left hand. In two weeks, you should start seeing the difference. Don't forget that the left hand usually plays the rhythm and the chords while the right hand solos.
