Smiley asked:


I know how to read music (obviously) for several instruments and I take music theory classes! I also compose my own music! However, for piano it takes days for me to learn a song and I see piano players who sit down to an unknown piece and play it from beginning to end without having to stop or learn it line by line! How do they do that? I know you are going to say “practice” which I already do everyday for several hours, but how do you actually get your fingers to follow what your eyes are reading and keep up with it? I always have to look down at my hands then back at the notes, etc. and it is getting frustrating! Help from actual piano experienced people/pianists, please!
