when i was younger, i already played the piano so i already know how to play but singing at the same time is really hard for me. is there like a warm up process or a break down i could do to help me get them both down. and for those wondering im currently practicing Boston from augustana, cable car from the fray, and drops of jupiter from rain.

if you could help that’d be great
Please&ThankYou

Start by playing something simple (that you know well & have memorized the lyrics) and singing the lyrics at the sametime. Before you start analyze the music and make connections between the piano and vocal rhythms and melodies. Take it slow. Then try it again a little faster. Continue until you are up to tempo. Then try another piece. Pretty soon you will get comfortable with it.

Another helpful exercise is to play a song while saying the alphabet. It’s like practicing hand-eye coordination for sports, only it’s hand-mouth coordination.

Good Luck!
