Getting your two hands to play different things at the same time is one of the biggest challenges for new pianists, and one of the most exciting skills to unlock. This course gives you 36 exercises designed to help your hands line up naturally, so playing with both hands starts to feel easy instead of awkward.
Every exercise uses the same simple chord pattern, which Jonny calls Pop Chord Progression #1. It’s used in hundreds of popular songs, so as you practice each rhythm, you’re also learning patterns you can use in real music. You’ll start with slow, steady rhythms in your right hand, then gradually speed things up with shorter notes and broken chords, a great pattern for playing with other musicians.
Next, you’ll explore fun rhythms in your left hand, including off-beat patterns that give music its catchy, toe-tapping feel. Then you’ll switch roles, keeping a steady beat in your left hand while your right hand plays a variety of rhythms. You’ll finish with triplets, a rhythm that groups notes in threes for a rolling, flowing sound. Sheet music is included, and when you’re ready for more, check out Part 2 here.
