Hello, Pianists! Today’s video will coach you through some beginning to advancing level techniques to develop your hand independence.
Developing hand independence or coordination while playing hands together is critical due to the various demands of our instrument and music written for it.
Developing hand independence will allow you the freedom to play melody and accompaniment at the same time, improvise from a chord chart, and play with expression such as 1 part louder than the other and contrasting articulations.

To show you the need to develop your hand independence, I’m going to play J.S. Bach’s Prelude in C Major, BWV 939, which is an early-intermediate level piece from the Baroque musical time period.
As you listen and watch the score, note in this polyphonic piece how the melody switches between right and left hands. The hands also need to be comfortable playing scales and chords at the same time, as well as LH mordents under RH melody.
Please stay tuned after the performance, as I’ll teach you some specific practice techniques that will help develop your hand independence skills.
These techniques and strategies will get you on your way to developing your coordination to play Bach and really any hands together piano piece.
