Tips for playing piano and singing at the same time

Tips for playing piano and singing at the same time

Multitasking is easier for some activities than others. Contrary to how my family would tease me, I’ve always been able to walk and chew gum quite proficiently. Playing piano and singing well at the same time, however, takes some practice. Both of those activities could require nearly 100% of your focus at times.
