How To Make Your Left Hand as Good as Right Hand | Piano Lesson

If you are a right-hander, playing piano with your left hand is significantly harder than the right. The left just doesn't ''follow your instructions'' as well. Here are 4 ideas to help you to improve your left hand piano playing.

PS. Bach Prelude in C Minor isn't an exercise per say, but I found it helpful to develop left hand technique. How? The right and left hand are playing the exact same semiquaver rhythms, so you can easily check if your left hand playing is accurate and in time with the right hand. I suggest practicing slowly and aiming to strike every left and right hand note 100% at the same time.

(All my students use this app too! 😀)

Do you have any tips/ideas/exercises for improving left hand? Share with us 😀

I was having breakfast and immediately started grabbing my spoon with my left hand haha

[mysticartist]

As an ambidextrous person I would recommend using your non dominant hand to brush your teeth at night . It will help building the fingers to have better control. Thank you for your amazing videos ! I am starting my piano beginner lessons soon.

Gosh, one of the most helpful channels to learn piano in the whole Internet. ps I’m self taught and i used YouTube to learn piano . And jazer lee u a legend .

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE It pays off in the end, my piano teacher was so surprised about how fast i was moving through the lessons that in less than a month of my first piano lessons I was already doing somewhat difficult songs with scales, and both hands playing two entirely different parts, so keep PRACTICING!

It's not only practising your left hand to work more (if you are a right handed person), it’s more about coordination of both hands to play differently while playing. And this can be achieved only with practice, practice and more practice.

I write eat with my right hand but I do everything else with my left hand

Watching the first 30 seconds as a left-handed asking myself: “why can I still play better with my right hand than with my left hand?”

[simonhodgetts]

There’s a lot you can do to improve muscle memory - I’m self taught, and always just played octaves with my left hand, but I’ve been trying to play chords, and stride piano over the years, and bit by bit my left hand is improving. This video was very instructive - I learned a lot from it!

If you are right handed, marry a left handed person to get the most skilled child 😉

[victorrodriguezmelgar]

I really struggle with the flying fingers while playing scales in my left hand, I'm sure your tips will help me a lot (together with a lot of practice with my left hand 🤣) 👍🎹

[PavelZykin]

As an ambidextrous person I have a correction - ambidextrous are equally unskilled at using both hands and also it came with the problem of discerning right and left side up to a point of unintentionally switching LH and RH parts in a music piece or writing some letters mirrored. But those ideas from this video are good for both hands as well. As for LH I think Chopin's Op.10 No.12 in C Minor is a real thing to make left hand to be sore the next day after the first try :)

[jslonisch]

I’ve switched to chopping up the veges for dinner with the knife in my left hand and it has really helped my stupid block of wood left wrist get some coordination. As long as I don’t chop off any of my RH fingers it will be a benefit overall. 😀

Funnily enough, in English etiquette, we ALWAYS use the fork in our left hand! Nevertheless, this has been a most wonderful video to watch. I haven't played for a few years and I really want to get back into this lovely hobby... your tutorial here, has been a great help and source of inspiration (and, believe it or not, Encouragement). Thanks.

I only just stumbled upon this channel and I think I founds an educational gold mine

[tourist]

Thank you, Jeezer. Your lessons and tips are very detailed and straight to the point. I discovered yr channel only a week ago and it's extremely good find. I started with piano lessons a couple of months ago, after 40 years break. I still have Hanon and other stuff on my shelves (not perfectly clean..) . Being 67 my fingers look like dead wood on keys but I wish to give it a try... I'm aware succeding it depends 99% on me, but please keep on publishing your videos which are truly inspirational and down to earth. You're a great teacher, Jeezer! All the best from Italy 😉

[Flower-pvfs]

Thank you, these videos are very helpful and educational as always!

[draculaspatula]

So glad I found you! You truly are the best channel I've found. You make it easy to understand and you're thorough. Thank you so much

My teacher was outstanding in making the left hand equal with the right hand. He had me practice the majority of my technical doubling my left hand. Example Scales. Starting with the left hand four octaves twice then both hands, four octaves twice. after months and years you become equally confident with both.
