I received a Yamaha Keyboard for Christmas. I bought an online piano playing course. I can plink any melody that I hear but I can't give it that full sound. If this helps, my left hand wants to play the same as my right hand. Does anyone have the same problem or know of any drills to help me out?

Thanks

Maybe they all think you should be looking in the phone book for a keyboard teacher? Why not?

Great answer Pete. But you seem to forget that this is a help forum for the piano challenged. If I wanted to learn from a teacher, I would have paid one. Instead, I trusted in the knuckleheads from this forum and they along with yourself, let me down. Have a nice day!!!!!

You must have wanted us to help you or you wouldn't have taken the trouble to ask the question.

Pete gave you very good advice. A teacher would be able to see how you are playing and help you solve the problem. It's not something you can teach yourself. Take it from somebody who is taking piano lessons. There's a lot to learning music. If you want to learn to play your keyboard or piano properly, find a good teacher.

By the way, we try to help everyone if we can, piano challenged and all comers.

Dude, possibly try something simple like Hanon exercises. This should start you off learning to use your fingers independently. If you look on the internet, you can find Hanon exercises and some have videos. Good luck!

...and you are well on the way to success with this suggested method, because your mouth, or should that be mouse, is obviously working independently from your brain as it is. The only thing I could suggest, to make things a little easier, if you follow the suggestion most regular posters here no doubt feel moved to make, is to file all the sharp edges off that mouse and grease it well...

i think i might know what you're talking about. like i remember when i was younger that when my right hand played staccato i was supposed to play legato in the left hand but my left hand wanted to do the same thing as the right. What my technique i used was to practice hands alone. Then when i felt i was ready i would slowly start playing my hands together. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
