The Poacher gets 2 hands
I learned the LH quite quickly, really: maybe 3 or 4 hours at the most? So today, I got back on an old Danemann grand to start both hands. Painfully slow, of course, but no real mistakes. The learning processes going on are fascinating to me. It's so multi-layered. I've learned each hand, but it's almost as if I'm starting again when I go to 2. Meanwhile, I'm having to read the music again, even though I've already learned it, but now of course the new task of reading 2 clefs simultaneously. Sometimes I decide not to look at the music, but look at the keyboard and my hands, and try to weld together the memories for each hand. I had an exchange on Twitter with my old pal Philip , who doesn't agree with learning each hand first. I thought that RH>LH>2H was orthodoxy. I tried to jump the LH stage with The Poacher, mind, and I think I could have done that eventually, but learning LH first, I'd say, is probably going to make it easier in the long run....
