As a musician, I am particularly fond of lessons such as these. I think that I had an additional advantage learning piano as a child. Being left handed, I was forced to develop high level motor skills in my right hand. To this day I believe that left-handed musicians play differently than right handers. Give a listen to jazz pianist and composer Bill Evans and tell me I’m wrong.
