the other hand has a quarter note and a eith note!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The only way to make it happen is to practice hands separately!. A lot! Best with a metronome sarting at a ridiculously slow tempo and playing it a notch brighter--over and over! Once you do this with each hand, muscle memory takes over!. It's tedious, but it works! Good luck---and don't cheat!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Start easy!. Exercise when you are not at the piano!. Do a 2-beat on one hand, three beat on the other, then switch hands!. Do this for all kinds of rhythms, especially the ones which are giving you trouble!. Good way to eat up any idle time you are sitting around!.

I still have trouble switching from alto to soprano instruments, getting myself on the correct fifth!. Practice helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just keep practicing every day and it will get easier!. Good luck =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

play whole notes first with the left hand and half notes with the right and build up coordination!.
The secret to feel the music and forget the left hand!. It will play and follow accordingly unless you have no sense of rhythm!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
