I've tried playing the solo version of Heart and Soul, and it is harrrrrrrd
Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. -
That makes sense. I never realized that about instruments like piano and trumpet when you compare them.
I play clarinet, and you do need your left hand for almost every note. The only note that doesn't require your left hand is G. -
I'm actually exactly the same on heart and soul. I can play both parts with no problem. But getting them to line up is my difficuly..
-
I just laughed at myself in shame when trying to play the solo version. My brain can't process both parts fast enough, and I completely butcher the tempo.
-
I've actually found a couple of finger workouts to play with both hands and have them down pat. But so far my two handed arsenal is very limited.
-
With enough practice, I'm sure you'll get there eventually. Scales and similar exercises are really helpful to help you get both hands working together.

There's a piano spot in jazz band which is coming up in March. I have to compete for that spot with one main kid. Fun times.
Despite it driving me crazy at times, piano is my favorite instrument. -
I don't have a problem with scales. They're fairly easy.
-
Cool. I wish I could play in a band.
SAME
Yeah they are now (I actually don't practice them anymore, I'm such a horrible person), but when you're first starting out, they really help you understand how chords and intervals and key signatures work. -
I have to learn chromatic scales for band on clarinet, and I can't remember half of the fingerings when it comes to the enharmonics. I know all of the naturals by heart.
-
That's the thing that sucks about wind instruments. With piano, you can do chromatic scales and glissandos super fast.
-
Scales really stick with you though. I haven't touched trumpet in 7 years. UT I can still do the C Major scale from memory.
-
That's exactly what I mean. There's this one really weird and annoying pinkie key below the fingering for C. It's not on the side. It's directly below the keys, and it's really close to the key. It brings C up half a step making it a C#. It's considered a side key. Sure.
-
I'm required to know how to play E flat, B flat, A flat, and concert F. The only ones I can play by heart are E flat and B flat, but I can play the other two if I look at it on sheet music.
-
I used to play flute (I might actually pick it up again when life isn't as hectic as it is right now) and it was the same way with all the weird keys to produce all the accidentals for chromatic scales. It was so hard compared to piano
