So many people start an instrument and get discouraged because their hands don't work well together. Well, that's only natural. Our hands are not well connected to one another. Look at a chart of anatomy - in most people, the nerves from one hand go to one side of the brain, and the nerves from the other hand go to the other side of the brain. (It's usually left hand to right side of brain, and vice versa.)

Hands may have to "talk" to each other by going through the corpus callosum, the big rope of nerves that connects the two halves of the brain. Messages to and from the spine may also play a role. Whenever we do an activity that takes two hands, we have to practice it until the nerve pathways are set up and the messages are flowing smoothly.

So be patient with your body. Don't get discouraged or frustrated.   Just give your hands and nerves time to get it together.
