Fix Your Left Hand! (3 Piano Exercises)

My left hand sometimes has a mind of its own. And it can be lazy, or at least it feels that way.

It never feels as fast or "athletic" as my right hand and it definitely doesn't feel as natural.

That's totally common!

And if this sounds like you, I've got your back. I have 3 exercises that will help you build dexterity, confidence, speed, and strength with your left hand.

Here they are:

- Exercise 1 - 0:37
- Exercise 2 - 2:58
- Exercise 3 - 4:51

And you might notice that even after years of practice my pinky STILL wants to lift up. I told my hand has a mind of its own. So don't feel discouraged it these are a little tricky.

I love how she explains everything. Every begginer like me can understand and get fired up to get on the piano. Love it!

WOW! I've been doing these exercises for only the past two hours, and I'm already seeing a vast improvement in my left hand coordination. And, I transferred them over to my right hand, and I'm seeing huge improvements there too. Thank you so much! SUBSCRIBED!!!

I took lessons from 4-14, and now again at 41 w/ you. Thanks so much, very helpful and fun!

Simplifying the complicated things is what defines a good teacher and you stand firm on these attributes. I follow most of the tutorials you publish. Keep posting!
Thanks

I enjoy your piano lessons always. Well-done Ma.

[krystaljohnson]

Thank you! I've been binge watching your videos and applying them into my practice. I've been in a slump where I'm practicing and getting better at certain songs but not better as a musician overall. I think your videos will help a lot. As I was incorporating what I had learned from you I was frustrated that my left hand couldn't keep up, but I didn't know what to do about it, then like magic you post this video. Thank you so much. I'll be watching your videos for a long time to come.

I am right-handed and a newbie, but i have noticed that playing guitar somehow helps, being small handed, things work out a bit different for me (seriously i have the hands of a 11 years old person)
I just wanted to say, your channel is pure gold and you guys are the best teachers i have ever encountered, stay safe everyone!

[chabdelkader]

I sliced my hand open back in 1965 and sliced a tendon that caused my index finger on my left hand not to bend and stunted its growth so it’s really hard to play any instrument really good for me other than my trumpet although I dabble playing piano guitar and cajon, I really enjoy your lessons I’ve definitely improved 👋thank u
