Take the 2-minute tour ×  Possible Duplicate: How can I
significantly improve my hand independence on piano?  I'm a
intermediate piano student (I can play almost without a break if
you give me notes but am still poor on chords). Recently, I
picked up songs with chords in them which require a rhythm (like
Piano Man) on the left hand and notes on the right (The lyrics).
I am unable to manage my left and right coordination; for some
reason my hands love symmetry and if i trying to play a rhythm
chord on my left hand and lyrics on my right, I end up doing the
lyrics on both or chords on both. I am unable to get my left and
right hands do different things. How do I improve this?  I know
the obvious answer is "practice". But my question is HOW? What
specifically do I need to do in order to improve this aspect.
